The module will begin with an introduction to the profession of clinical psychology in the UK, outlining the emphasis on a biopsychosocial (rather than biomedical) framework and illustrating the way in which clinical psychologists understand difference and distress through the use of clinical case formulation (as opposed to psychiatric diagnosis). In the following weeks, the theoretical models that clinical psychologists most frequently draw upon to inform their practice will be examined. Typical lectures focus on Behavioural Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy; each be introduced by a practising clinical psychologist or psychological therapist, who will explain the principles underlying each model and how these are applied in clinical situations. The lecture will focus on clinical case formulation and highlight the differences in formulation approaches across the different theoretical models. The module is an introduction to various theoretical approaches to therapy. It is beyond the scope of the module to explore all therapy models and the module provides a basic overview it is NOT designed to teach proficiency in the application of any psychological therapy.
