PSYC7000 Research and Evaluation Methods
An examination of threats to the validity of causal inferences from randomised experiments, quasi-experiments and passive observational studies, with particular reference to field studies and program evaluations. Statistical power analysis, the analysis of data from nonequivalent control group designs, interrupted time series analysis, and structural modelling.

PSYC7001 Psychological Assessment 1
This course is designed to equip professional psychologists with basic skills in psychological assessment and report writing. The course focuses upon the assessment of intelligence in adults and children. Trainees will be taught the theoretical and empirical underpinnings of intelligence testing using the Wechsler scales and will develop competency in the administration, scoring and interpretation of these. This course also provides trainees in the MPsychol(Clinical) program basic knowledge and skills in the administration and interpretation of the Wechsler Memory Scales and other tests commonly used in neuropsychological assessment. Finally this course emphasizes the importance of accurately detecting changes in functioning, including the estimation of premorbid intelligence, the detection of improvement over time that may indicate treatment efficacy or spontaneous recovery and, finally, changes that implicate deterioration of function.

PSYC7204 Child Clinical Psychology
This course will examine the developmental psychopathology, assessment, and treatment of the major childhood disorders. Emphasis is given to empirically-supported approaches, with a particular focus on cognitive and behavioural family systems assessment and interventions. Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to consider the application of the theoretical material to specific case studies.

PSYC7212 Experimental Clinical Psychology 1
An introduction to clinical practice that covers the major anxiety and mood disorders. This course reviews the major models and research strategies for understanding psychopathology and clinical interventions. Specific psychological disorders are analysed in detail to illustrate the interplay of biological, cognitive, and behavioural models of psychological dysfunction. Each disorder is also described in terms of practical assessment and treatment procedures.

PSYC7220 Psychology of Health and Illness
This course will cover the broad area of applications of psychological principles, derived from human and animal research, to human health. This will include the areas of health promotion, risk factor reduction, and the psychological assessment and management of medical illnesses, with a special focus on chronic illnesses.

PSYC7221 Experimental Clinical Psychology 2
