• These skills are generic in nature and are needed by all psychologists irrespective of their field of specialisation.
• These skills are essential for all professional psychologists, whether they are working in the field of clinical and health psychology, industrial/ organisational, social, educational, or in environmental settings, or are acting as consultants.

• It is expected that it will not be proper to provide any form of professional training (in clinical or organisational fields) to students who do not possess these skills.
• Once a student has these skills, subsequent training in her/his area of specialisation would only refine and further hone these skills required by a professional within her/his field of specialisation.
