INTERNSHIP DISCUSSION
During the initial week of the internship, the primary emphasis was on orientation and gaining a
thorough understanding of the program's objectives. Through in-depth information sharing, the
internship's structure, expectations, and goals were made clear. This foundational step allowed me to
align my personal learning goals with the overarching objectives of the internship.

One of the key takeaways from this week was learning history-taking techniques. The process of
gathering personal information and the history of the present illness was introduced, laying the
groundwork for future client interactions. This skill set forms the basis for building rapport and
understanding clients' backgrounds, which are essential in clinical psychology practice.

In parallel with this, I had the opportunity to observe initial client interactions, providing me with
valuable insights into the clinical setting. This initial exposure allowed me to witness how professionals
engage with clients during the intake process, and I began to understand the significance of the first
client interactions. Overall, the week effectively introduced me to the internship environment and the
initial steps of the clinical process.
I began learning critical skills right from the start, as history-taking was taught. I familiarized
myself with the process of gathering personal information and the history of my present illness.
This foundational knowledge laid the groundwork for my future interactions with clients. I
observed initial client interactions, providing me with an insightful introduction to the clinical
setting. This experience was invaluable in understanding the initial steps of the intake process
and how clients are engaged in the therapeutic context.

Building on the foundations laid in the first week, the second week provided a deeper
exploration of history-taking. I learned the remaining aspects, including how to use designs to
note down history, and the significance of design elements, emotional relationships, premorbid
personality, and physical examination. These skills enhanced my ability to gather
comprehensive client information, a crucial aspect of clinical psychology.

One of the highlights of this week was observing therapy sessions conducted by experienced
clinicians. This firsthand exposure provided an early insight into the practical aspects of clinical

and refine assessment skills in a controlled environment. The introduction to mental status
examination, encompassing the observation of appearance, behavior, attitude, level of
consciousness, speech, language, and affect, sharpened my ability to gather comprehensive
diagnostic information.
The fourth week introduced advanced topics, including psychological disorders, approaches,
and psychological tests. Learning about anxiety, clinical depression, and schizophrenia
expanded my comprehension of these conditions and their impact on clients. Exploring various
psychological tests such as TAT, CAT, BKT, and Rorschach equipped me with essential tools for
conducting assessments.

The opportunity to conduct assessment interviews in groups under supervision provided me

with hands-on experience in applying my knowledge. This activity was a pivotal step toward
translating theoretical concepts into practical clinical skills. Additionally, attending case
conferences enhanced my understanding of the diagnostic process, highlighting the
collaborative nature of clinical work.

maintaining personal well-being in the field of clinical psychology. This reflective exercise was a
timely reminder of the demanding nature of the profession and the necessity of establishing
healthy boundaries to ensure effective and ethical practice.
