Abstract
In this paper we provide an overview of Clinical Associates in Psychology (CAPs): their training, how they complement existing psychological professions and mental health teams, and showcasing the work they have undertaken throughout the country. This takes the form of a case series, based on service-related research projects and conference presentations undertaken by CAPs themselves. We hope this can help clinicians consider how CAPs fit within the psychology professions and also how they can benefit various services. Keywords: Clinical Associate in Psychology, CAP, Psychological therapy, Multidisciplinary
