Handbook

A continuation of the problem-oriented approach begun in PSYC7212, this course examines the theoretical basis of models of psychopathology, assessment and intervention, and related professional issues. This course covers a range of topics which include psychopharmacology, and evidence-based practice for a range of conditions. The course entails 2 x two-hour face-to-face workshops each week, delivered by UNSW School of Psychology academics as well as discipline-expert guest speakers. There is an emphasis on the development of critical evaluation of the evidence base for psychological therapies; hence, in the final weeks, candidates work in groups to develop their own workshops on an evidence-based psychological therapy to deliver to the class.
