Summary:

Self-Care for Clinicians in Training assists readers in recognizing the challenges and stressors common to being a graduate student and instructs them in maintaining a career-long lifestyle of self-care. Successfully navigating graduate school requires more than completing coursework and clinical experiences; graduate students in psychology make countless sacrifices and dedicate what may fell like a never-ending amount of time and energy. As such, many students put their own well-being on hold, which can negatively impact coursework, clinical work, relationships, and health. This book teaches how to recognize risk factors that contribute to problems with psychological and emotional functioning and highlights preventative and reparative strategies that foster self-care, Carter and Barnett also encourage readers to consider self-care beyond themselves, expanding to monitoring the well-being of peers and establishing cultures of self-care within their training programs. This book will be an essential resource to students in psychology graduate programs as well as those across the mental health professions. Book jacket.
