How to Become a Clinical Psychologist: Getting a Foot in the Door

I bought this book whilst in my 2nd year of my Psychology undergraduate degree and was still undecided if Clinical Psychology was for me. This book offers some very valuable and honest information that is hard to find anywhere else. I'm still undecided if I want to enter the field of clinical psyc, but this book helps me look at the good and bad points in the field and very good for a quick flick through when pondering! For the price, I would say it is a good bargain.

Any aspiring Clinical Psychologist will find this book invaluable. Crammed full with interview tips / work experience tips / application tips - all written by 'real' people who have experienced the long and hard process to qualifying as a CP. The tips in this book have certainly helped me in interviews. I cannot recommend this book enough.

This book was helpful to me. It is a little outdated, written before technology was so mainstream. But some ideas.

This book is absolutely brilliant with lots of helpful tips and bits of information for working towards a clinical psychology career. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about how to become a clinical psychologist.

This book has helped me to make my decision of whether to study for my Pro. Doc. Clinical Psychology - a must read for all of those considering the same.

A nice little book with much detail in it. Good if you are thinking of going into C.P.

It was exactly what I was expecting. It has helped me make the first steps by learning what to look for where and how.

It's not that this book isn't useful, it just wasn't particularly useful for me. Having done my undergraduate in Psychology, having done placements in clinical settings and attended talks by Trainee Clinical Psychologists and careers talks geared towards that, this book did not add anything to the knowledge I already had. If you have a similar background to myself, I would avoid because most of it will be commonplace knowledge to you already. I honestly wish I hadn't bothered to buy the book now, I found much more helpful information on the Wiki pages of the ClinPsy forum, I'd suggest looking there first before buying this book. I like the simple and accessible writing style and I think if you don't know much about getting into Clinical, or haven't done the degree, or spoken to people trying to get on the doctorate, then you may find it useful.
