SILHOUETTE 2014 was inaugurated by Clinical Psychologist Mrs Meera Rao.A clinical psychologist should be true to their profession. It is always better todo a complete course on Psychology than treat a patient with half bakedknowledge. Referring to the ways in which measuring the psychologicalabilities often tend to become inappropriate, she said that IQ is normallymeasured using a test, while several factors that contribute to IQ likebackground of the person, habits, location etc are not given priority. She mentioned that clinical psychologists should not restrict things to watertight compartments but view the disorder from several perspectives. Sheinsisted the budding psychologists to be clear about who needs therapy. Quiteoften, it is not just the patient who is therapy, but his/her parents too require the same. Half of the problems will be solved if parents change their attitude, saidshe. She stressed on the parents’ responsibility in treating a mentally challengedchild.
