Clinical Formulation and Treatment

This module aims to provide students with knowledge about the formulation and treatment process of different mental health problems in adults. The module covers an assortment of approaches used in formulation, including for example the broader biopsychosocial approach and specific approaches such as cognitive behavioural. Students will also learn about an assortment of therapeutic interventions relating to adult mental health difficulties alongside formulation. Students will also learn about professional practice issues including supervision, professional registration and ethics. The module will be delivered through lectures that will involve both taught and interactive discussion and two workshops where students will apply theoretical knowledge to developing basic counselling/communication skills. Focus on the importance of the therapeutic relationship will be emphasised in both lectures and workshops. The module is assessed through a combination of two coursework assignments and observation. The module provides an opportunity to understand theoretical aspects, challenges and the practicalities in formulation and treatment in clinical psychology, which will be useful for students considering further professional training and careers in clinical work with adults.
