Congratulations to you all...I may be biased, but I am going to embrace it: you've made it onto the best course! It such an experience; a second home for me. I wrote in a paper recently that training is just as much about becoming a clinical psychologist, as it is about becoming a person again. Hert...

The next BPS President is actually one of the Unite reps - so hopefully she will continue the more active approach that the current and former President have...In particular, supporting members in responding to the threats to future funding. I used to be with Unison, and felt quite distanced and tha...

I've attached the conference poster below... https://www.kc-jones.co.uk/pqg2017 £20 for PQG, £25 for DCP, £40 for non-members Featuring Lucy Johnstone (team formulation), Clive Turpin (CAT), John Burnham (Systemic/social graces), the Minorities Group in Clinical Training, Use of self in supervision,...

Really?! I'll follow this up - thanks!

Please someone correct me if I am wrong (I haven't done the most systematic of searches, so could easily be wrong...); but there doesn't seem to be much of an evidence base for CAT being used with young people?

Interested to hear if there is!

Hi all - I'm trying to build up a broad picture of the DCP's public position on alternatives to diagnosis. Thus you may have seen my other post relating to a survey - now this is a focus group proposal (so less of the online), and specifically aimed at Pre-Qual. I have completed 1 focus group with p...

Hi all I am looking for people interested in narrative approaches, whether that is clinically or as a research method... Ideally, someone arty... I am going to run a workshop (1hr, 50m)- akin to some action research. We will introduce PositiveNegatives, a company that conduct ethnographic research a...

Hi - GREAT to hear that you will be joining us! You are right, if in a pre-training role or as a trainee, and a DCP member, you will automatically be enlisted as a Pre-Qual member.

If you're in early stages and looking to possibly buddy up, then give me a DM or tweet etc. I've got a whole structure lined-up and thoughts ...

Today I learned that the power within the therapy room will always belong to the animals. Firstly, attempts to video record sessions will fail. The cat will always find the lens and proceed to sit in front of it. Secondly, leaves floating across a stream sound great, but when the dog breaks free and...

Jayde clearly beat me to this...But just to bring the event to life a little bit, here is the poster: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbLg3MtXIAANgwQ.jpg Honestly, I feel the opportunity to hear from the only clinical psychologist who is an MP address the topic of becoming political is reason in itself ...

Hi all - it has been a long time since I have posted on here, so please forgive me, but I am recruiting! :roll: All of my details are listed in the research materials (the opening page is the participant info sheet). However, for ease of reference: My name is James Randall-James and I am a 2nd year ...
