Description

This course focuses on practical training of clinical skills and developing a thorough understanding of ethical principles and practices within professional settings. Attendance at one-day workshops and once-weekly meetings is required. Skills training workshops cover topics such as CBT clinical skills, interviewing adults and children, risk assessment, case formulation and working with adolescents. Weekly meetings include case presentations and also deal with the conduct of professional psychologists, with a strong focus on the maintenance of ethical practices. There will be a strong focus on the code of professional conduct and ethical issues that arise in the context of working with individuals, cultural groups, organisations, other professionals and the public at large.
