Learning and development in professional psychology

Professional psychology involves applying methods of assessment and intervention to achieve positive outcomes for clients. Much research has focused on finding optimal methods to meet these ends. However, the outcome of professional psychology also depends on the individual psychologist delivering these methods. Therefore, this project investigates identity formation, social processes, and learning processes involved in the development of professional psychologists. The project will contribute towards a better understanding of applied professional psychology, which might be important to consider to further improve client outcomes.
