Meanwhile, colleges, universities, academic disciplines, and professional organizations are increasingly engaging in discussions around inclusion of people with lived experience, and in 2022 the American Psychological Association took a concrete step to foster more inclusion for formerly justice-involved psychologists by removing the felony history question on its membership application. However, to our knowledge, there are no resources that explicitly detail the experiences of formerly justice-involved people in professional psychology.

By sharing these experiences, we identify discriminatory policies that restrict access, impede advancement, and create unique and hidden difficulties for justice-impacted people in health service psychology.

This paper features the testimonies of the authors as doctoral students and mental health researchers-in-training-as well as their supervisors-regarding their research with the immigrant community in an underserved area on the Texas U.S.-Mexico border, a popular migratory entry point for Central American immigrants seeking asylum in the United States. This paper aimed to bear witness to the emotional impact that working with forced migrants may have on researchers by describing the experiences of doctoral students conducting research with asylum seekers in the context of their graduate training in clinical psychology. The authors' narratives highlight that conducting research with forced migrants is challenging, but also an enriching and rewarding experience. Graduate students and researchers working with this population need to be aware of the emotional impact of this type of work on trainees and supervisors alike and the inherent risk of vicarious traumatization. Drawing from the Cognitive Processing Theory model of posttraumatic growth (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004), the authors propose that engaging in reflective practice and meaning-making processes may assist researchers-in-training connect to and acknowledge the meaningful aspects of their work.

This is a critical issue as inadequate training in diversity, cultural humility, and multiculturalism has substantial downstream effects on care for clients of color and may contribute to racial disparities and inequities in access to mental health services. We seek to explicitly evaluate key features of the conceptual model thought to improve the provision of mental health services for clients facing oppression and marginalization which includes perceptions of clinical psychology graduate programs' training in and assessment of cultural humility. We also assess self-efficacy related to the application of cultural humility as well as actual practice of actions associated with cultural humility. Each of these domains are evaluated among a sample of 300 graduate students and faculty, clinical supervisors, and/or directors of clinical training (DCTs) and differences across position and race of participants were tested. Study findings highlight significant gaps between what trainees need to develop cultural humility and what they may actually be receiving from their respective programs.

Few \"real-world\" examples exist to guide the development of training models. We provide background on the development and components of a specialty clinic, the University of New Mexico's Cultural Counseling Center, whose mission is providing culturally informed clinical services to diverse clientele, and to infuse multicultural training throughout the graduate program. Informed by the racial-spatial framework for psychology and critical race theory, we describe our approach intended to: 1) offer applications for the operationalization and delivery of multicultural and antiracist training; 2) enhance supervisory models; and 3) increase awareness of structural competence. Our clinic, developed collaboratively among students and faculty, serves as a safe forum for dialogue around structural injustices and seeks to improve treatment for diverse clients and those underserved in mental health care. We discuss issues of student and faculty engagement and offer the perspectives of faculty and students of color, case examples illustrating our services, and current efforts to expand and formalize community collaborations.

This study thus focuses on the association between theoretical knowledge and applied knowledge on one side, and communication and therapy skills on the other. Method: N = 69 psychology students took part in a psychotherapy training study including role-plays with standardized patients. The training interventions included reading treatment manuals and watching model videos. We measured theoretical knowledge using multiple-choice questions (MCQ), applied knowledge using case vignettes (CV), and psychotherapy skills in videotaped sessions with standardized patients (SP) using independent competence ratings. Results: Theoretical knowledge correlated significantly with practical competences ( r = .28 - .36, p < .05) and predicted post-intervention skills in SP interactions ( β = .21 - .35, p < .05). Applied knowledge was significantly correlated with practical competences ( r = .31 - .54, p < .05), and predicted post-intervention skills in one out of two treatment conditions ( β = .47, p < .001).
