I personally feel that publication of articles that reflect current thinking and professional practice in a field of applied psychology in general and clinical psychology in particular should be considered as an important contribution for the professional growth and development of the field. I appreciate the efforts of the author to share the current thinking and professional practice of their country in the field of clinical psychology.  Sharing of such thoughts and ideas should be applauded inasmuch as it helps to develop insight how training and evaluation should be conducted in the field of clinical psychology to enhance the clinical skills and competence of the trainee.

Development of the professional and practical aspect of psychology is as important as the development of its scientific aspect. And I think that publication of personal and shared professional experiences in form of an article is a welcome attempt in this direction. Most of us would agree that such articles are less likely to be given a chance to appear in the contemporary psychology journals as most of them focus on empirical research, comprehensive reviews and or theoretical articles dealing with some issues of contemporary relevance. However, they would also agree with me that sharing of such information is very critical and relevant to the development of the field of psychology. At the root of the development of any field of inquiry is the quality of training given to the graduate students. 

I would also take this opportunity to thank the "WebmedCentral" team to provide a platform for publishing and sharing even such information that otherwise would have remained unpublished in the present era of scientific publication that rely heavily on pre-publication review process.

I congratulate e the authors for bringing  out such excellent piece of work that I feel is very useful for setting a trend in  the professional training and practice of clinical psychology.

Rehabilitation.

As a graduate of this course I have found that it has greatly enhanced my skills and ignited my passion in working within Clinical Psychology.  

The intergration of clinical experience, theory and research makes this postgraduate course unique by allowing development and leading towards one's area of preference.  It also allows for a solid foundation to build upon.  

By ultising a variety of assessments, some (for example, role play) which is relevant within a clinical setting, allows one's skills to be further practised.  

The course being spread over two days allows one to gain more clinical experience and/or help fund the course.  

Overall, the course has a strong set-up and provides future trainees with the relavant skills needed within and related to this area.  

This is a well written and acurate article to the course itself.  I have no hestitation in promoting this course to future students.  

Graduated from the course. 

This article really updates current thinking in clinical psychology and is an asset to current knowledge in the area.

Well done authors.
