Developing Interprofessional Competencies in Professional Psychology 
A Practical Guide

Interprofessional collaboration is an expectation for practicing psychologists, yet few psychologists are trained in collaboration competencies. Drawing from the literature, this book presents a model for incorporating interprofessional education (IPE) into graduate training programs and continuing education for professional psychology. There are separate chapters for each stage of professional development focused on different learning environments, including classroom settings, practica and internship, and postregistration psychology practice, with specific activities for use with students and supervisees or in practice. Each chapter has corresponding suggestions for learner assessment and program evaluation, making this an indispensable resource for training programs, supervisors, and practicing psychologists.
