About this Unit
In 2021 this unit replaced by 102809 - Assessment and Treatment of Complex Psychological Disorders. 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 and for students to develop skills to work collaboratively within clinical and multidisciplinary teams.
Please note: some of the activities in this unit include experiential learning where students may be asked to take on the client role using their own lived experiences to provide opportunity for training in therapeutic modalities that are more “real life”. Students may opt-out of these activities without consequence through speaking to the unit coordinator and alternative arrangements for student learning opportunities will be organised.
