About this Unit
Clinical psychology is a fast-evolving discipline, and practitioners need to be able to respond to changing health needs of the population. This unit will prepare students to expand their skills in psychological interventions to respond to the needs and preferences of clients and the changing demands for clinical psychology services. This unit will explore the theories, techniques and effectiveness of new and emerging therapies; prepare students to apply psychological principles to diverse clinical populations; prepare students for working in clinical teams; and, introduce students to the practice of clinical psychology with more complex client groups and co-morbid presentations. The unit will also examine the professional and organisational roles of clinical psychologists within these settings.
