Customer Testimonials
This was the most relevant overall segment of articles I ever read is one of your issues. Even the ACA Hasn't Reduced Health care costs was relevant to me personally with health care costs. The article Empathy May be Ill-Timed in Treating Trauma was so comprehensive, insightful, well-articulated and relevant with my work with trauma patients especially those whose protective defenses are high due to loyalty to care-givers. I'm re-reading it and filing it in my trauma article file. Thank you for such a great issue.
Concise articles of timely importance.
I have subscribed to The National Psychologist for several years, but have never taken advantage of the CE credits that were offered through reading each edition. I read every issue from cover-to-cover, and I wish I had elected to utilize the CE option many years ago. This is a great additional benefit to subscribing to TNP. The articles are excellent and totally relevant to being a Psychologist in today's changing healthcare environment.
Expert and convenient.
Enjoyed the course and you were very nice on the phone.
More Testimonials
The military suicide article is very informative and included depth not usually found in this area of practice, and usually not typical of the short clinical articles in The National Psychologist.
