| Course description | In this course students will learn about appropriate models of clinical care and clinical management within multi-disciplinary CAMHS settings. This course will provide an overview of clinical settings and professional systems of care within children and young peoples&© health service settings. Introducing these systems, and roles within them, will include a clarification of professional roles and the ethical context of professional conduct.
Students will acquire an in depth working knowledge of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency service structures as these are represented in Child and Adolescent Mental Health settings throughout Scotland and the UK. Models of systemic working in this context will be applied to the clinical management and psychological therapies for key client groups. Students will gain critical insight and appraisal of developmentally based models of care and systemic practice.
The clinical management of clients should involve self-awareness of fitness to practice issues and boundaries of professional practice. Practitioners of applied psychology (clinical associate) will become sensitive to the importance of self-awareness and the need to appraise and reflect on their own practice. As reflective practitioners they will become aware of the importance of diversity, the social and cultural context of their work, working within an ethical framework, and the need of continuing professional and personal development.
Students will be introduced to a range of complex clinical presentations and disorders to provide them with a critical knowledge base from which to make appropriate clinical assessments, assessment of risk and recognising when referral onward is necessary.
