A deeper understanding
The role of a Clinical Psychologist often involves complex differential diagnosis. There are a number of organic conditions that are high prevalence in a mental health patient, and should be screened for. While this screening is not the role of a psychologist, careful observation and reporting to a treating physician can play a critical role in treatment. This module covers the link between the organic nature of illness and psychopathology, which is an essential part of what differentiates us within the realms of mental health.
Reflect and discuss
This is live CPD where you will engage deeply with the content through discussion and role play, and be encouraged to ask questions. You will be learning alongside your peers and sharing your knowledge and experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
