2024/11/11

Throughout my clinical psychology education, there have been multiple times when a lecturer, an academic resource or a paper has mentioned that clinical cutoffs aren’t the best and they are problematic. Yet they have never gone into any great detail about the advantages and disadvantages of clinical cutoffs and why they are not good for our clients.

2024/11/04

When it comes to clinical psychology, it is a very white, female, middle-class professional and I’ve spoken and written about the various reasons why this is the case and why this needs to change urgently.

Something I flat out love about talking with fellow psychology students is that you get talking about different mental health conditions. For example, I was talking with a new friend the other week about how they next sad and depressed at this time of year.
