This
course, offered by the Department of Psychological Medicine, is conducted via
off-campus distributed learning 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 is
equivalent.
Assessment will comprise regular and final assignments and interactive assessment via the residential workshop.
