Course Summary

This allows you to further your own professional development, explore the area of greatest interest to you and make an original contribution to the development of your profession. Our professional doctorates constitute the academic and research component, building on what you have already studied and achieved in your professional training.The Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies is uniquely positioned to offer a professional doctorate of this kind. The department has a long and rich history of bringing clinicians and researchers from a wide range of orientations into fruitful collaboration and has a thriving research community. On this programme you will have access, alongside the specific course content, to all elements of the department’s provision, bringing you into contact with leading practitioners and researchers in your field as well as an exciting group of both staff and student researchers in related areas.This degree constitutes the academic and research top-up for graduates with a full training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.There are few comparable doctorates available. Some trainings are now doctoral programmes, or have doctorates available to trainees, but there are few routes available for those who trained in the past, and in many current trainings the doctoral top-up does not exist.

Modules

This module provides knowledge and support in preparing a rigorous literature review to take its place in the final thesis. It will help students develop good literature search strategies and to be able to justify their choice of literature covered. It will help students use the literature review to identify the gap their research will fill and to support the need for their project. They will be assisted in constructing a literature review which is not only a report on literature studied but an argument developing through their exploration of the relevant sources to which their project will contribute.
