Content
This unit is designed to provide students with both the theoretical and practical framework for advanced clinical practice relevant to the treatment of complex conditions and clients. It focuses on skill acquisition in schema therapy relevant to this broad area, building upon and extending the knowledge and skills developed in Psychological Interventions 1 and 2. The course will focus on understanding and responding to issues with engagement and resistance in therapy as well as understanding how therapy finishes from a client and clinician perspectives As well as providing new therapeutic techniques the course will also consider the media through which psychological interventions may be delivered, specifically teleweb services. Opportunities to develop clinical competency in these areas will occur through case analysis, simulation, practical rehearsal (role-play) and individualised feedback.
