Description
PEP2 (Clinical) follows from PEP1, and provides ongoing training as part of the practical component of the clinical program. The aim of the course is to further develop trainees’ clinical skills in assessment, diagnosis, case formulation and treatment of clients with a range of presentations.
In PEP2 trainees are required to attend skills training workshops, complete a placement in the UNSW Psychology Clinic, and attend weekly professional meetings. Skills training workshops cover topics such as CBT intervention strategies, mandatory reporting, emotion regulation skills, advanced family systems training and effective use of emotions in clinical interventions. Weekly meetings include case presentations and additional training in relevant clinical areas. There will be a strong focus on developing trainees’ professional conduct, ethical practice and identity as Psychologists.
