| Summary | Students are required to submit a case report describing an assessment or intervention, typically carried out during their fourth clinical placement of the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology, although this may be deferred to a later placement depending on their Individual Training and Development Plan (ITDP). The focus of the reported intervention can be an individual, a group, or an institution. Where the focus is an individual, case reports might describe a course of therapy, a rehabilitation programme, or an individual teaching programme. Group-focused interventions include family therapy, social skills training groups, anxiety management groups, and so on. Students are required to describe the clinical work carried out, make links to and critically evaluate relevant research and literature, and to reflect on the strengths and limitations of the clinical work carried out. |
