Q. How do you prepare yourself for the everyday challenges?
A clinical psychologist is responsible for a varied set of roles. They are assigned first to identify emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. This is followed by developing and implementing treatment plans, and the therapeutic process. Also, keep a check on the patient and his/her improvement records. As a clinical psychologist, I prepare every day for a new challenge and try to enable myself to be better prepared in finding a resolution so that I can save someone from being clinically depressed or feeling helpless. As a psychologist, you are often challenged to understand phenomena from a range of different perspectives, which is a useful skill when listening to the thoughts and opinions of others. Fully investing yourself in a process of finding a common understanding between yourself and others encourages resolution.
