About this Unit
Clinical psychology is a fast evolving discipline, and practitioners need to be able to respond to changing health needs of the population. This unit will use problem-based learning approaches to: prepare students to analyse health policy to identify changing demand for clinical psychology services; prepare students to apply psychological principles to unfamiliar clinical populations; prepare students for working in clinical teams; and, introduce students to the practice of clinical psychology with more complex client groups. The unit will also examine the professional and organisational roles of clinical psychologists in these settings.
