| Summary | This course is mandatory for all DClinPsychol second year postgraduate students. Students will develop a critical overview of the application of clinical psychology to a wide range of emotional, behavioural and neuropsychological disorders within child and adolescent, older adults and neuropsychology settings. Students will receive knowledge based sessions, leading to a critical analysis and understanding of the principle theories and practices typically used with service users in the above settings. In addition, students will receive practical training on using therapeutic skills most often encountered in these specialisms and will be taught sufficient generic awareness and understanding of these skills and knowledge to be able to apply them to novel problems and circumstances. Relevant professional issues will be covered, including multi-professional working, NHS management and service development. The teaching also aims to deliver a detailed grounding in relevant issues in client, clinical work, service, legislation and professional areas. Controversies and debates within the specialisms will be explored and trainees will be expected to reflect upon these and reach independent, defendable conclusions regarding their own practice. |
