Abstract

<p>We report the educational effect of observing human dissection on clinical psychology students. Students in the Department of Clinical Psychology at Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine took an academic human dissection tour. Responding to a questionnaire administered after the tour, 80% of students reported greater understanding of the structure and functions of the human body. Furthermore, students indicated their awareness of bioethics and the responsibilities of psychologists, and displayed a willingness to learn. Regarding the free-text responses, comments were mainly related to “knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of psychologists,” “learning from real feelings,” and “respect for body donation.” The trainee clinical psychologists confirmed the high educational effect of the dissection tour.</p>
