| Summary | This course will focus on the development of clinical skills through practice and clinical supervision.
This is a core course for the MSc Psychological Therapies (CBT) and an option course for the MSc Psychological Therapies.
Due to the practice-based elements and supervision requirements of this course, it can only be taken on a part-time basis over one year. |
| Course description |
Participants are required to have access to a minimum of five clinical cases for the duration of the course which are suitable for the purposes of training in child/ adolescent CBT, and with whom the student is undertaking CBT interventions. Participants should aim to work with a range of clients (both in terms of age and presenting difficulties), one of which will be presented as a formal case study at the end of the course. Cases presented at the end of the course must be cases for which the student received supervision from the course supervisors and in which they directly administered treatment. The student will provide taped evidence of clinical work which will be submitted alongside the case study, and used in clinical supervision.
Tutorial content is decided by students within a group supervision framework.
