Course Summary

Each year, mental health problems such as anxiety and depression will affect 1 in 4 people, including 1 in 10 children, at an anticipated global cost of $6T by 2030. Psychological therapies, especially cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), provide a safe, effective solution to many of our most common mental health problems.

This new programme, offered at the University of Edinburgh, provides practitioner and supervisor level training in IPT and CBT. With a special, but not exclusive, focus on childhood and adolescence, the programme is suited to practitioners working with children, youth and adults.

Individual courses are accredited by UK professional bodies, ensuring high quality standards and recognition by employers post-qualification. Teaching and supervision are provided by experienced clinicians and clinical academics. The programme has close links with the NHS and community organisations, ensuring that students learn in a clinically-informed context.

Career opportunities

Graduates can expect to gain employment in clinical services or private practice as mental health practitioners.

Modules

This course will cover engagement, the role of formulation in clinical practice, the importance of individualized assessment in successful formulation, how to construct formulations and how formulation influences intervention choice. The course will reflect on the challenges of this phase of therapy and build re-formulation skills.
