Mental health training and work programs for psychologists and allied professions: An international perspective

Clinicians and Diagnosis: Ethical Concerns and Clinician Competence

“…Clinician competence is stressed by Haritos-Fatouros (1985). The author pointed out the need for nonmedical professionals to be given equality in provision of therapy.…”

“…diagnoses received thoughtful attention in the literature (e.g., Dattilio, 1984;Downing & Paradise, 1989;White & White, 1989; My opinions are based in part on having supervised master's-level Haritos-Fatouros, 1985). From my experience as a clinician, former mental health center administrator, and current teacher of counselors in interns as well as beginning master's-level clinicians who have received training, I would like to share my thoughts on the subject, with emphasis on clinicians and diagnosis in general and related ethical concerns and training from various disciplines from various universities.…”
