It’s that time of year where people start getting their internship plans together in clinical and counseling psych. This whole process can feel pretty mysterious. @Russ_Marks and I put together a handbook to help demystify it a bit. It’s available free

We invite you to be part of our journey in making From Scratch to Match as helpful as possible to future applicants. It's only 6 questions. We are always striving to improve our materials and completing the survey will help us with that mission.

@EmeryNoahN @cmbrandes I meant to reply to this Tweet earlier, but the day got away from me. Thanks for your patience with my reply.

You’re right. That does feel better.

Its that time of year again, where I remind everyone that self-reported substance use is valid. It has been shown empirically a few times. For an example using biosensors, see the link below. Remains one of the only areas where disbelief is the default. https://t.co/bJLcOXK3iW

@cmbrandes @EmeryNoahN @brandon_saxton @BrownClinPsych @UMmedschool Thx for the kind words! Re: How/why/when: the 1st draft was a thank you to grad school pals who cat-sat during interviews (‘18). @EmeryNoahN & I were nontrad students who benefited from other’s guidance. Scratch2M is a way of continuing that (& also maybe a nod to the cat 🤗).

Researchers know how to curb the risks of overdose and disease among drug users, but policymakers are reluctant to allow public health measures that include needle exchanges and access to safer drugs. https://t.co/skJujvYlwr

Dr. Lawrence Mass, who wrote the first AIDS article in a U.S. publication, points to South Africa when reflecting on the legacy of AIDS denialism. The legacy, he says, is "the death — the preventable unnecessary deaths — of more of 330,000 people" there. https://t.co/65hznaPlyK

@AllenFrancesMD @GoldfriedMarvin Another consideration is that “why” can imply that someone *should* know why they behave. Flip side, *never* asking can result in missed opportunities to learn important perspectives, particularly when considering cultural factors (see Cultural Formulation Interview, for example)

[Russ Marks, Ph.D. @Russ_Marks]

@AllenFrancesMD @GoldfriedMarvin “Why” isn’t inherently good/bad. Thru an RFT lens, asking “why” can generate more content that keeps a person stuck. You can test this w/ clients (I think credit goes to Robyn Walser) by successively asking “why?” when you see self-theorizing unfolding to illustrate its function.
