This
course, offered by the Department of Psychological Medicine, is conducted via
distance education on a part-time basis over two years. The course is directed
primarily towards health, welfare and education professionals working with
children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural problems and who wish
to upgrade and develop their skills and understanding in the area. It aims to
increase the participants' knowledge of psychoanalytic and developmental theory
and the application of these to the treatment of children and adolescents with
psychological difficulties, and to consider how this knowledge may be applied
in their own workplace. This course does not provide specialist clinical
training.
Applicants must have a medical degree, a degree in the health sciences, a
degree with a psychology major or an education degree at a pass level from an
approved tertiary institution, or qualifications and/or experience which are
equivalent.
