Abstract

Reviews the book, Self-care for Clinicians in Training: A Guide to Psychological Wellness for Graduate Students in Psychology by Leigh A. Carter and Jeffrey E. Barnett (see record [rid]2014-27281-000[/rid]). This book is aimed at postgraduate students in psychology, with a particular emphasis on those training to become clinical or counseling psychologists. The authors take a preventative focus – they seek to help trainees learn to manage the competing stressors associated with coursework, clinical experience, research, and perhaps even a personal life. The book has three main sections: beginning the self-care journey; establishing lifestyles of self-care; and fostering networks of self-care. In general this book is likely to be very useful as a recommended text for students in all professional training programs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
