Critical issues in clinical practice

Clegg, Jennifer
Abstract
Are professionals really self-serving individuals pretenting to be altruistic? If ethics are the guarantor of good practice in a post-scientific age, how can we recognize and train the ethical practitioner? What models of practice will be useful in the future? Critical issues in clinical practice explores the confusions postmodernism generates, identifying contemporary concerns in clinical practice and seeking responses to current questions. The authors sets an agenda for all researchers in clincial psychology seeking key topics and themes - an agenda that promises clarity to practitioners bludgeoned by the rapid turnover of ideas that is postmodern culture. It challenges both researchers and practitioners to reach beyond the celebration of diversity, using it to construct new alliances and purpose. This volume will be essential reading for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses and speech therapists.
