Linguocognitive competence, encompassing the integration of linguistic proficiency and cognitive processing, constitutes a critical attribute for psychologists tasked with interpreting client narratives and facilitating therapeutic discourse. This study investigates the theoretical underpinnings of fostering this competence among psychology trainees, drawing upon recent advancements in psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and educational psychology. Through a theoretical synthesis complemented by a pilot intervention, the research elucidates how linguocognitive skills enhance professional preparedness. Findings indicate that a framework rooted in modern scientific principles, alongside targeted training, significantly augments trainees’ interpretive and expressive capacities, highlighting its pertinence to contemporary psychology education.
