Developing Interprofessional Competencies in Professional Psychology: A Practical Guide

This book presents a model for incorporating interprofessional education (IPE) into graduate training programs and continuing education for professional psychology. The authors begin the book by highlighting the importance of interprofessional collaboration for professional psychology practice and discuss the growing evidence base supporting the value of IPE. This is followed by a definition of collaboration competencies and a review of barriers and enablers to including IPE in professional psychology training. The remainder of the book is guided by the authors' model, which explains how collaboration competencies can be optimally integrated across the continuum of professional development, with corresponding suggestions for learner assessment and program evaluation. If you are a faculty member in a professional psychology training program, a clinical supervisor, or a practicing clinician who wants to develop collaborator competencies, this book will provide you with practical suggestions to help you achieve your goals. It will also be of interest to psychology learners, instructors from other professional programs, and those developing interprofessional curricula. There are separate chapters for each stage of professional development focused around different learning environments, including classroom settings, practica and internship, and post-registration psychology practice, with specific activities you can use with students and supervisees or in your own practice. You will enjoy the book's engaging and accessible style, and find it to be a practical aid in creating high-quality interprofessional learning opportunities.
