Description

In Clinical Skills 1, students will delve into various clinical presentations and therapeutic models, with a strong emphasis on systemic practice.

The module introduces practical tools from narrative and family therapy, thirdwave approaches and CBT, allowing placement students to practise these interventions. The students will be able to use reflective practice during the module and think about ways of showing cultural and ethical sensitivity, considering the diverse contexts in which children and families live.
