Unit description
Focuses on basic psychological assessment and intervention across a range of contexts, including clinical practice, education, social, public health, and business settings. Students are encouraged to critically examine the social context in which assessment, intervention and evaluation take place. This will be achieved by analysing and critiquing how research on assessment and intervention is reported and how future practitioners achieve maximum effectiveness through their own oral and written communication. The unit adopts an inquiry-based learning approach drawing on experiential simulated situations to provide students with a sense of real-world experience in preparation for their transition to practice, further education, and working life.
