The scientist-practitioner and the reflective practitioner

This chapter explores two models that have been identified as appropriate for the training and ongoing practice and professional development of counselling psychology practitioners and researchers. These are the scientist-practitioner model and the reflective-practitioner models.

Finally, the chapter aims to discuss and consider how these two models might be integrated in order for them both to complement the training and ongoing practice of counselling psychologists
