Here is a development handbook with guidelines and suggestions for mastering virtually every professional task encountered during the first decade of a career in psychology. It offers the wisdom and mentorship of noted psychology experts in a single source.

The ten year anniversary of the book offers an excellent opportunity to publish a second edition. Several aspects of the book have evolved considerably since its first printing. For instance, substantial revision to the internship, licensure, and certification processes has occurred, and are reflected in this resource. Much of the literature on clinical psychology, cultural sensitivity, and the current job market is updated. Changes in technology have large effects on teaching and practicing clinical psychology. These modifications are needed to offer appropriate and updated information for students. In short, virtually every chapter has substantial modification to ensure that the material is accurate and up to date.

Recenzijas

From the reviews of the second edition:

The Portable Mentor (2013) was well written and easy to understand for anyone with an undergraduate level of education. this is certainly a resource I will point students to when they are considering a career in psychology. It would be a shame if it wasnt available at your local library. If you are looking for a present for your high school student or graduate school student, this might be it!
