Course objectives
The aim of the course is to deepen students' clinical-psychological thinking, develop their ability to think comprehensively and critically about a wide range of diverse and current topics in the field of clinical psychology, and introduce them to specific case studies. Students will learn to understand how to effectively apply psychological theories and concepts to clinical practice across various areas.
Learning outcomes
Students will develop their clinical-psychological thinking and self-awareness through the knowledge and skills they acquire, which will help them become more perceptive and sensitive when working with clients. They will also strengthen their empathy, reflection, and self-reflection, and improve their communication and collaboration skills. They will be able to describe clients' feelings, experiences, and personality traits, and place them in the broader context of their lives, including cultural, social, and developmental influences. Students will become familiar with a wide range of specific areas they may encounter in clinical practice and will be able to integrate insights from theories and research into clinical practice, with an emphasis on adhering to ethical principles. They will be able to apply the knowledge gained in other courses, such as Psychological Assessment of Adults, Special Psychiatry, or Psychotherapy I and II.
