Book Description
Acknowledging, anticipating, and addressing the everyday questions, anxieties, fears, and concerns of interns, this practical handbook bridges the gap between academic coursework and the knowledge, skills, and emotional challenges that are found in the "real world" of the helping professions. Organized both chronologically and topically, it begins with practical suggestions for how one finds an internship and concludes with how one terminates cases and looks ahead to career options. Includes exercises for self-exploration and easily-removed forms for evaluations, critical information, ethics and other essential tasks. Draws upon the latest research and information from psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and other helping professions -- as well as extensive personal experience. Covers: Preparation; Getting Started; Ethical and Legal Issues; Internship Classes and Peer Groups; Supervision; Working with Diversity; Clinical Writing; Records and Progress Notes; Stress and the Helping Professions; Self-Care; Assault and Other Risks; Closing Cases; Finishing the Internship; and Frustrations, Lessons, Discovery, and Joy. Provides a variety of "tear-out" forms/checklists: Internship Selection Checklist; Placement Information Form; Internship Learning Agreement Record Form; Intern Evaluation: Supervisor Form; Intern evaluation: Intern Form; Emergency Contact Information; Ethical Guidelines; and Treatment Agreement and Informed Consent. A reference for interns, instructors, and supervisors involved in Internship, Practicum, and Field Placements in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, and related disciplines.

 Overpriced ( crmgds )
i reviewed this book in the library in anticipation of purchasing it. it's fine for what it is, a gathering of information on internship, in one location. the problem is, for what the buyer gets it is distinctly overpriced. i didn't buy it. i found another text, 'field instruction' by wilson, that was much more affordable and serves the purpose for both intern and teacher. it's a few years old, but i saved a lot of money, money i can't afford to waste.

 Missed the Target ( 4-eyedbooks )
I was in instructed to buy this book for a School Psychology Practicum class, after reading several chapters I believe the book would be a better fit for a Counseling/Psychology Graduate Internship class. The information included is a good review for a student on internship and helps in bringing all the information learned throughout the program together. But that is all the book was for me, just a review -- no new information not learned in all the other graduate classes.

 Internship

Wwith a light heart, he blends the old standards with new healing models. He has done the work. I will use this many times in the life of my career.

Only Book On Internships. ( scottalanhoye )
I had to purchase this book for a psychology practicum class. There simply isn't anything else around to fill it's shoes. That means we are stuck with it.
That said, the book does what it sets ot to do. I will keep it, as I will prabably have to use it in grad school, and it will be a lot more relevant to me as a full intern working in a clinic.
