Abstract
To understand the role of psychological well-being among M. Phil. Clinical Psychology Trainees and its impact on the treatment satisfaction of clients with major psychiatric disorders, a study was conducted in Chennai, where M. Phil. Clinical Psychology trainees were selected through consecutive sampling method. The sample size was set to 50 trainees. The study was carried out as a Cross-Sectional design. Correlation and Regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and Psychological Well-being scale were used to collect the data. The result of co-relation study indicates that the trainees who have adequate psychological well-being have clients with higher treatment satisfaction for psychiatric conditions. Regression analysis suggests that psychological well-being of trainees effectively predicts the client’s treatment satisfaction. Therefore, increased psychological wellbeing improves client’s treatment satisfaction and shows that applying psychology can be incorporated to achieve higher professional excellence for trainees in the field of mental health.
