Clinical Psychology by Timothy J. Trull is a warts-and-all perspective on the field of clinical psychology. A clinical psychologists is supposed to be an expert in personality theory and in mental health disorders, and know how to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health problems as well as do consultation and research regarding how to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health problems. I learned a lot from the textbook. I won't be able to do it justice here, but what I enjoyed learning most was about the efficacy and effectiveness of attempts to assess personality and also the efficacy and effectiveness for different therapeutic techniques as treatments for people with mental health problems. Regarding personality tests, the Minnesota Multi-Phasic Personality Inventory version 2 (MMPI-2) seems to be effective "in the prediction of personality disorder, aggression, and in the differentiation between depressed patients and substance abuse patients," and the Revised NEO-Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) has "been shown to provide incremental predictive ability in the assessment of personality disorder, maternal responsiveness to infants, and violence" (p. 230), and so the tests are effective for at least those measures. Regarding therapeutic techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy and behavioral therapy come out ahead of the others, but incidentally working therapists today often regard themselves as using an eclectic technique, which allows them the possibility of using cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or any combination of any kinds of techniques they'd like.
