Clinical practice under postmodern scrutiny

Jennifer Anne Clegg examines how postmodernism raises questions about the foundations and responsibilities of clinical psychology. The discussion turns to professional self-interest, the role of ethics in practice, how ethical practitioners might be recognized and trained, and which models of practice may prove useful in the future. Framed around challenges and uncertainties in contemporary clinical work, the book also presents key topics and themes as an agenda for researchers. Its central concern is how practitioners and researchers can think about standards and models of practice amid changing ideas.

Book overview

With a focus on clinical psychology, this book explores the challenges and confusions generated by postmodernism. Identifying contemporary concerns in clinical practice and seeking responses to current questions, the book asks: Are professionals really self-serving individuals pretending to be altruistic? Are ethics 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 sets an agenda for all researchers in clinical practice seeking key topics and themes, an agenda that promises clarity to practitioners bludgeoned by the rapid turnover of ideas that is postmodern culture.
