The new RCI guidelines on BSc Clinical Psychology have left me feeling confused, disappointed, and concerned I shudder at the thought of my 19-year-old self being placed in a therapy room with clients who are already vulnerable due to past adversity, childhood trauma, and current struggles with life transitions, grief, or mental illness Reflecting on the American Psychological Association's code of ethics, particularly the principle of beneficence and nonmaleficence, I worry whether these guidelines truly uphold the commitment to do no harm if we cannot help I sincerely hope the RCI reconsiders these guidelines to prevent placing such young and inexperienced individuals in potentially harmful situations and takes corrective action for the betterment of our profession and the well-being of our clients #MentalHealth #ClinicalPsychology #RCIGuidelines #TherapyEthics #PsychologyStudents #APAethics #DoNoHarm #Beneficence #Nonmaleficence #MentalHealthProfessionals #TherapyRoom #ClientSafety #ProfessionalStandards #YoungPsychologists #PsychologyEducation #EthicalPractice #ProtectVulnerableClients #RCIreform #PsychologyConcerns #MentalHealthAdvocacy
