Clinical training for Psychologists has competence in psychological assessment as an outcome. As such, first year clinical psychology (M1) students are required to complete practical training in psychological assessment. It has been consistently reported though that upon reaching their clinical internship, students do not have adequate experience in psychological assessment with many not possessing the basic skills required to conduct the necessary types of assessment at their internship sites. The present study was conducted in the Psychology department at the University of the Western Cape.enPsychometricsStudent psychologistsHealth professionsClinical PsychologyUniversity of the Western CapeUniversity of the Western Cape
