This module will introduce the student to a range of professional issues embedded within the work of a practising Clinical Psychologist. We will focus on some issues that affect the practice of applying psychological science within the NHS.
This module will begin with an introduction to the core competencies that need to be displayed in a practising clinical psychologist. This includes the importance of creating a positive relationship with a client, and some practical skills to begin to do this. We will consider professional ethical obligations and potential abuses of power. We will also discuss the importance of clinical supervision and how this may form part of a clinicians approach to managing their own needs. Finally we will consider the different aspects of working as a Clinical Psychologist in the NHS.
