Health Professionals Council (HPC) Register Psychologists from 1st July 2009

James Beale — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:34:28 GMT

From today the HPC are registering psychologists and are the only body that has the power to do so in the UK. Below is information direct from the HPC website which should shed light on who is now regulated, which titles are now protected, who is not regulated and who the professional body for psychologists are.

For further information please see:

http://www.hpc-uk.org/aboutregistration/aspirantgroups/psychologists/

Who is now regulated?
The profession of psychology is divided into seven areas or 'domains' of practice. The domains regulated are:

Clinical psychologists
Counselling psychologists
Educational psychologists
Forensic psychologists
Health psychologists
Occupational psychologists
Sport and Exercise psychologists

Which titles are protected?
The following titles are generic titles to be used by any HPC registered psychologist::

Registered psychologist
Practitioner psychologist

The following are domain specific titles used by individual HPC registered psychologists:

Clinical psychologist
Counselling psychologist
Educational psychologist
Forensic psychologist
Health psychologist
Occupational psychologist
Sport and exercise psychologist

The title 'psychologist' is not protected on its own.

Who is not regulated?
The following groups are not regulated at the moment:

Psychotherapists and Counsellors will not be regulated with practitioner psychologists. However, there is currently a Professional Liaison Group (PLG) looking at their regulation and we anticipate that these groups might be regulated in 2011.
Psychologists and teachers who work purely in academic, research and experimental psychology and do not offer psychological services to the public. People who teach wholly or mainly on undergraduate courses who call themselves 'psychologists'.
It is proposed that these groups of psychologists will not legally need to become registered. However there is an expectation that those who are wholly or mainly engaged with teaching on postgraduate courses will need to register as they, and their students, will be working in applied settings with members of the public.
Neuropsychology is a post-Chartered Status specialism and will not be separately regulated. However, most neuropsychologists will already be Chartered Psychologists with the BPS, most usually - but not exclusively - as clinical psychologists or educational psychologists.

Who is the professional body for psychologists?
There are a small number of organisations who currently represent practitioner psychologists. The biggest of these is the British Psychological Society (BPS). They hold the largest voluntary register of qualified psychologists and are involved in approving, and delivering, education and training to become a practitioner psychologist. Someone who has met all of the Society's standards for entry to the voluntary register is granted the title, 'Chartered Psychologist'.

The BPS is divided into 'divisions' which represent each of the areas of psychology practice listed above. The names of the divisions are:

Division of Clinical Psychology
Division of Counselling Psychology
Division of Educational and Child Psychology
Scottish Division of Educational Psychology
Division of Forensic Psychology
Division of Health Psychology
Division of Occupational Psychology
Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology

In addition, the Division of Neuropsychology (DoN) represents the practice area of neuropsychology, which is a post-Chartered Status specialism. Practitioner members of the DoN will also be qualified in one of the areas of psychology practice listed above.

Standards of proficiency
The HPC Council and its Education and Training Committee (ETC) agreed the standards of proficiency on Wednesday 20 May 2009.

The information is taken from the HPC website

FreeJump: the football star of the future

Mounir Zok — Sat, 30 May 2009 12:33:47 GMT

FreeJump was officially presented at the national congress of the Italian Association of Football Physical Trainers (AIPAC) early this week (May 25) in Florence where key figures of top Calcio Serie A teams had the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the all new product from Sensorize.

FreeJump stood out among other similar products by being the only product on the market for the assessment of performance that is totally wireless and wearable hence going beyond usual problems that coaches encounter during performance assessment tests such as irregular terrain surface (grass, sand, ecc), electric power and wires & cables. Carrying out a test is very easy and takes no more than 5 minutes!

FreeJump is as well the only wearable product that provides essential information regarding vertical jumps starting from 3D measurements of movement. Through its user friendly software, tracking an athlete's performance history or comparing physical preparation among athletes is only one click away!

To order your FreeJump, please write an email to info@sensorize.it

Emotion Regulation in Others and Self: EROS

Andy Lane — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:11:06 GMT

I am part of a research network (EROS http://www.erosresearch.org) who are investigating how people manage their emotions. It is a 4-year project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) who are supporting the project to a sum around £2 million. The aim is to conduct research that has both practical and theoretical value. I am keen to build relationships with applied sport and exercise psychologist who could find the results useful. We will be hosting seminars and events during the course of the project which we will be inviting you to. Please have a look at the website, which I acknowledge is developing, but still gives an overview of the work that will be done.

In the first instance, we are conducting an online questionnaire that assesses emotions and strategies to regulate emotions retrospectively. Could you please forward this email to any group of athletes who might be willing to complete the online questionnaire, perhaps with a note of encouragement to do so? Below is a brief description and link to the questionnaire.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=6B9FeE57WmFS3eyoRi2MdQ_3d_3d

What is this questionnaire about?· This questionnaire is part of a research study that is examining how people change their own feelings. · Participation is voluntary. We hope that you will take part so that we can obtain a representative view of a wide range of people.· The questionnaire will take about ten minutes to complete.

Who will see my answers?·     The information that you provide will be kept confidential. None of your answers will be divulged to any person outside the research team. Any reports we produce will not be based on individual answers.    If your answers draw your attention to any problems that you may be experiencing, you are advised to contact your GP.

How do I complete the questionnaire?·     The questions require you to select and tick one appropriate answer.  Please read each question carefully then answer giving your first reaction. Do not spend too much time on any one question - we are primarily interested in the pattern of your answers. Please do not omit any question. If you find a question that does not quite fit your circumstances, simply give the answer that is closest to how you think, behave or feel. The usefulness of this study depends on the frankness and honesty with which you answer the questions. There are no right or wrong answers.

If you have any questions about the study please contact Dr Paul Davis or Prof Andy Lane. Email: P.A.Davis@wlv.ac.uk A.M.Lane2@wlv.ac.uk

RoseannaLeaton.com Announces a Cure For The Yips

Roseanna Leaton — Mon, 18 May 2009 13:30:47 GMT

RoseannaLeaton.com, in conjunction with GolferWithin, announces the release of their hypnosis downloads to cure the yips quickly and easily.

Douglas, Isle of Man 18th May 2009

RoseannaLeaton.com .today announced the release of two different hypnosis downloads which will help cure the yips in golf. These golf hypnosis recordings work on two specific areas of the game - putting and chipping. These are the two areas of the game in which many golfers suffer, and Roseanna Leaton, author of the GolferWithin series of mental golf training cds and downloads, has responded to popular demand in developing these powerful recordings to cure the yips .

"A library full of books on the sporting mind as well as time spent with accredited golf psychologists still didn't quite get me into my ideal sporting performance state. Then I was asked to listen to some CD's produced by Roseanna. For the first time in my search the impact was not only massive but immediate. I would strongly advice any golfer who's serious about improving their game to get involved in Roseanna's CD presentation and see the immediate results" says Paul Eales, European Tour winner and Setanta TV Golf Reporter.

The GolferWithin recordings utilize the most powerful hypnosis and NLP techniques to access the golfer's subconscious mind and thus their automatic thought processes. In learning to think in a different way, new and powerful physical reactions are triggered. The old fears and worries about yipping are replaced with a deep rooted expectation that you will putt and chip smoothly and easily. All this is achieved by just listening to a golf hypnosis download which is available from the website.

As Roseanna says "the problem is not your putter, it is the instructions which you are giving it that causes the issue. I think that every golfer knows this but does not know how to change those destructive thoughts". And so Roseanna has now released these Cure the Yips hypnosis recordings to enable golfers worldwide to find a cure for the yips simply and quickly in the comfort of their own home.

GolferWithin was developed by Roseanna three years ago as a result of her own passion for golf. As a psychologist and hypnotherapist with 20 years experience in clinical practice, Roseanna was in a perfect position to combine her expertise and hobby in producing these recordings with professionals and amateurs both use. The "Mental skills toolkit" of eight cds is now available by download as well as in hard copy via the website. The Cure Your Yips recordings are only available in download format.
