Module description

This module introduces students to the material culture of Viking and medieval Scandinavia. Through a series of workshops at the British Museum, British Library and other London-based institutions, students will gain first-hand experience working with artefacts and manuscripts from the period. These workshops will complement a series of seminars held in the Department in which students will examine more broadly the archaeology and history of the period, as well as the theoretical background to the use of objects as sources for history and culture.

The module covers the knowledge and skills for Clinical Associate Psychologists to continue to develop and learn beyond qualification and to apply their knowledge to inform others. These include evidence appraisal and synthesis skills, problem-based learning skills, use of audio-recordings for skills development, appropriate use of continuing clinical supervision and applying knowledge in new contexts. Students will also acquire skills in providing guidance about psychological understanding and interventions to other health and social care professionals.

Clinical Practice in Context encourages students to think about and work with the contexts in which they meet children, young people and families. Students will learn about the development and structure of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), as well as relevant agencies and services in the UK. Other topics include multi-disciplinary and inter-agency working, safeguarding and child protection, conceptions of culture and class in relation to development and mental health, and legal frameworks for practice. The module is both theoretical and practical, with students learning skills related to culturally and ethically sensitive interventions taking into account the multiple contexts around the child. Teaching includes whole-group seminars, small-group discussion and exercises, skills modelling and practice, appraisal of relevant literature and case study analysis. Students will also be invited to reflect on the shared and unique contexts for their own practice.
