The Skeleton Cupboard: The making of a clinical psychologist

Product Information

Having worked within mental health and with people with learning disabilities myself I could totally relate to a lot of the situations and the story's in this book but I am sure that anyone with not the hint of this world would totally understand and get drawn into this book also. You start to feel like you know her, like she is a friend telling you their secrets even though a lot of this book and all of the characters are fictional. Man bekommt durch das lesen dieses Buches einen Einblick davon, was es heißt in diesem Berufsfeld zu arbeiten und wie wichtig es ist, hinter die Fassade zu schauen.

Gripping, poignant, and full of daring black humor, this book reveals the frightening and challenging induction all mental health staff face and highlights their incredible commitment to their patients. It is easy to forget that as each patient is utterly believable from the sociopathic Ray who threatens Byron with a knife in her office during her first placement, to twelve year old Imogen, suicidal after the drowning death of her younger sister, to Auschwitz survivor Harold suffering from the beginning stages of dementia. Not because the characters and stories were fictional; like Tanya says, these stories exist in each on of us to some extent.I also did not mention that random girl's night scene where they try out different outfits on her for the funeral she was attending. Professor Tanya Byron is a clinical psychologist, specialising in working with children and adolescents, with twenty years' experience. Not only does this book inform you of the process of clinical training, it inspires one to learn and grow intellectually. Exact daarom trok ‘Niets is wat het lijkt’, met de ondertitel ‘Waargebeurde verhalen van een beginnend psycholoog’, mijn aandacht en heb ik het goed betaalbare boekje (9 euro voor de pocketeditie van Uitgeverij Rainbow om precies te zijn) aan een kritische leessessie onderworpen.

Op zondag 13 oktober 2019 verliet ik de boerderij waar ik jarenlang vastzat en stapte een café in Ruinerwold binnen. Diep intriest trouwens dat hierbij ook al meteen onrechtvaardigheid aan de oppervlakte komt, een draad die je wel ergens kan doortrekken in je verhaal den ik.But the main issue I had was with the disrespectful way the author spoke about some of the people she worked with. I also learned and understood more greatly about the struggles of training as a clinical psychologist in the NHS – it is a process of learning through experience, like many other professions. I was disappointed because Tanya only touched the surface of each story, leaving the reader craving to know more about each case.

Every six months while qualifying as a doctor, she was shifted to a new placement in a different facility. Ik was dus heel enthousiast toen ik ‘Niets is wat het lijkt’ bij Uitgeverij Rainbow zag voorbijkomen en het bovendien nog mocht gaan recenseren ook. Dat ging dus helemaal niet zo goed en dit zou heel wat beginnende psychologen afschrikken, maar niet jou, jij bent een doorzetter.In her latter years, more advanced than her husband in dementia, she couldn't be showered, she had to be bathed with a sponge by her husband, she thought the showers were the deadly gas of the Nazi execution chambers, and to help him she would put a damp cloth over his nose and mouth. Dit spreekt in positieve vorm voor de schrijfster, laat haar persoonlijkheid zien, haar wil om haar beleving volledig over te brengen en je voelt haar betrokkenheid bij de zaken in het boek. Beautiful men wanting beautiful men and beautiful women watching those excellently sexy girls who wanted something more than the sexy boys.

The Skeleton Cupboard: Stories From a Clinical Psychologist

Books such as psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz’s The Examined Life and the work of the neurologist Oliver Sacks have proved popular with readers. I wouldn't dream of saying "Fuck you" to even my least favorite supervisor, much less engaging in romantic behvaior with a collague at a training site. Wat daarvoor de precieze reden is weet ik niet zo gemakkelijk uit te leggen in een paar zinnen, maar laat ik het kort houden en zeggen dat het vak van de psycholoog en aanverwanten vakken mijn mateloos interesseert.As I mentioned each chapter of the book follows Tanya throughout her training to be a clinical psychologist and the first chapteris set in her very first placement while a trainee in a psychiatric outpatient department in a hospital. There is Imogen the perfectionist, whose severe anorexia may be gluing her parents’ marriage together, and Molly, struck dumb by the trauma of seeing her younger sister drown and whatever else has gone on at home. The job of a clinical psychologist is not something that you hear a lot of in everyday life but this book opens your eyes to what a difficult, yet rewardingand fascinating, yet complex job this can be.
