| Summary | This is a core course for the MSc Psychological Therapies (CBT) students only.
The course aims to equip both full time students that have a clinical placement in The Centre for Psychological Therapies and child and adolescent mental health professionals working in the NHS and related settings, with an understanding of the scientific principles underlying cognitive and behavioural interventions with children and adolescents, and the application of these in practice with children and adolescents experiencing difficulties with anxiety and depression.
The main themes will be evaluation of CBT for children and adolescents, application of models of cognitive development to treatment, and teaching of core behavioural and cognitive therapy methods for these age groups.

| Course description |
This course, through 8 days of lecture/workshops and associated online tasks, covers cognitive-behavioural models of change as they apply to children and adolescents, including principles of assessment and formulation. The course will provide a review of typical and atypical cognitive, social, and emotional development, and the links among these. The teaching strategy is distinctive, aiming to teach students the fundamentals of typical development alongside those of psychopathology. The course aims to be integrative in its approach, in which, for example, cognitive development is viewed within the context of changes in affective or social development.
