Abstract
A group of 22 clinical psychology trainees were assessed in a pre-test
post-test longitudinal design to assess the effects of training on their
outlook towards matters related with routine life. The trainees’
behaviors were assessed within sub-categories of Neutrality &
Objectivity (NO) Professional Influence (PI) Creativity & Ingenuity
(CI) Diagnostic & Prognostic Concern (DPC) Etiological Considerations
(EC) with depth interviews portrayed as entry interviews but were meant
to evaluate the earlier effect of psychological trainings’ influences on
trainees’ behaviors. These interviews assessed the influences of earlier
training as EC, (Exceptionally High) or (H) High or (N) Neutral or with
(DMI) Defense Mechanism Intervention or (Id) Id complexes? After these
entry interviews the trainees underwent a training of 12 months in
clinical psychology teaching department. After completion of successful
training all trainees were appreciated for their performance during
training and as a reward instead of an assignment they were assigned to
watch a movie of their own choice at their own and to prepare a detailed
report about their choice and preference for the move selection. Later
the researcher watched himself the movies and evaluated reports and
contents as thematic apperception behavioral contents reported by the
trainees and placed these in sub-categories (NO) (PI) (CI) (DPC) and
(EC) to assess the state as an influence of advance psychological
training as EC or (H) or (N) or (DMI) or (ID). Later the pre-test and
post-test responses of the trainees in similar categories were compared
and assessed for the influence of training on trainees post-training
behaviors, the comparison of pre and post responses revealed a
significant influence of training on the personalities of trainees.
