Content
This unit builds upon HPS708 Psychological Therapy and HPS714 Studies in Psychopathology. The unit begins with a consideration of what is meant by an integrative approach to therapy, from both the traditional perspectives (e.g., common factors, technical eclecticism, prescriptive eclecticism etc). Participants will be exposed to examples of evidence-based integrative therapy approaches (e.g., dialectical behaviour therapy, schema focused therapy, cognitive analytic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches and acceptance and commitment therapy). Preventative and early intervention philosophies will also be discussed as an important emerging role for clinical psychologists as will their role in rehabilitation. There will be a significant emphasis on skill-development throughout the unit.
