It focuses on skill acquisition in evidence-based interventions, building upon and extending the cognitive behaviour therapy knowledge and skills developed. The course will focus on clinical psychology practice with an emphasis on students developing a critical approach to various clinical, and professional practice issues, including psychotherapy process and treatment approaches for complex clinical presentations.
