Throughout my clinical psychology education, there have been multiple times when a lecturer, an academic resource or a paper has mentioned that clinical cutoffs aren’t the best and they are problematic. Yet they have never gone into any great detail about the advantages and disadvantages of clinical cutoffs and why they are not good for our clients. I wanted to change this, not only for my own education but so I can educate others have the pros and cons of the cutoffs. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn about the advantages and disadvantages of clinical cutoffs and why they might disservice our clients instead of helping them. If you enjoy learning about mental health, psychotherapy and diagnosis then this will be a great episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn if blood vessels are secret players in pain, how COVID-19 vaccination can help mental health fallout, and how reading bodily signals could help us stay sharp during scans.
