It is the overall aim of this subject to provide training in empirically supported psychological therapies for various psychiatric and personality disorders. It builds on the training in therapeutic skills and techniques provided in Psychological Intervention and Therapy and prepares students further for clinical practice. The lectures will cover individual and group therapies and will include role-plays and group discussions using case material so students can gain some practice in conceptualizing patients' problems and using various psychological treatment strategies.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this unit, students will have developed:
- the ability to understand process issues in therapy and use these in applied clinical settings
- an understanding of the professional implications for clinical psychologists working with complex presentations, such as trauma and psychosis
- an understanding of how to work as a clinical psychologist in a range of settings, including multi-disciplinary teams
- an understanding of the legal and professional need for continuing professional development and supervision
