“It’s incredibly fun”: Psychotherapists’ perspectives on participating in a pilot study of an apprenticeship model for training psychology students

The study was funded by a grant from the Liaison Committee between the Central Norway Regional Health Authority; RHA and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology; NTNU [Samarbeidsorganet; Grant No. 90410200 (674005)]. We are deeply grateful to our colleagues, clinicians in Nidelv CMHC, Tiller, for participating, and to the head of the clinic at the time when initiating the study, Anne-Lise L\u00F8vaas, for letting us test out this novel model among novice psychology students. We are also thankful to patients who gave their consent to let their therapists bring students into their sessions. Further we want to thank the reference group from the CMHC consisting of our wise and experienced apprenticeship masters when learning the clinical craft: \u00D8yvind Watne, Per Knutsen, Anne E. Skjervold, Eva Gluppe and Jon Morten Landr\u00F8. We also thank Helse Midt/Samarbeidsorganet for financial support to do this project. For language improvement, we used Google Translate and Microsoft Copilot for individual sentences and smaller paragraphs.
