Experienced therapists can give psychology students an extra boost

Clinical psychologists work closely with people who are struggling in order to prevent, assess and treat their mental health disorders. To this end, they need to be skilled at interacting with other people. A new study from the NTNU research group "RISKIT" (Research on Interpersonal Skills in Therapists) suggests that observing experienced therapists at work can help psychology students improve their ability to talk with patients.
