by Radhey Shyam, Aaliya Akhtar

Clinical psychology is one of the most popular branches of psychology as clinical psychologists are much in demand owing to the growing mental health problems. Though several textbooks are published world-wide every year, yet most of these originate from North America or Europe.
This introductory textbook, besides giving essential knowledge, also supplements the exclusive features of clinical psychology as it is being taught and practiced in South Asian countries, particularly India. It briefly focuses on the historical development of the discipline in the Indian subcontinent. It presents updated information about the changes in the clinical psychology training programme being brought out by the regulatory body, the Rehabilitation Council of India.
This book is expected to serve as a highly useful textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing courses in clinical psychology, and a valuable resource for the academicians and the teachers in this field.
