As such, competencies involve relationship, assessment, intervention, diversity, research/evaluation, management/supervision, and consultation/education (NCSPP, 2007). In line with this assertion, this paper will provide an analysis of the Walden Clinical Psychology Program, as well as its strength and weaknesses. The Walden Clinical

Practical identity can be distinguished based on the contingency of one’s actions. In addition to practical identity, there is also moral identity which Korsgaard believes is not a contingent part of one’s practical identity.
