Description
This three-year doctoral clinical training course aims to enable you to apply the methods and finding of psychology to both clinical work and clinical research. The emphasis is on an applied scientific approach to clinical problems within a predominantly cognitive-behavioural framework. We teach through a programme of formal lectures and workshops and through tutorial work. Clinical experience and supervision are provided to fulfil the requirements of the programme and the British Psychological Society. A variety of excellent placements are available within and outside the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust. You will normally be able to follow your special interests in your selection of optional tutorial blocks and placements. For the supervision of your research project, you may approach any member of staff of the Clinical Section who is also a recognised teacher of Psychology and choose a research topic in the field of abnormal or clinical psychology.
