CBT for Depression in Children and Adolescents (PSYC0123)

This module will introduce students to the current evidence base in CBT for depression with young children and young people. It aims to provide intensive, detailed training to facilitate skill development and will enable students to develop competency in working collaboratively with young people and their families. The module will cover both the assessment and treatment of young people with depression with a preference for approaches where cognitive and behavioural techniques are integrated in therapy. The module will also enable students to gain a critical understanding of the phenomenology, diagnostic classifications and epidemiological characteristics of depressive disorders. Finally, the module will discuss working with risk and co-morbid presentations to support clinical decision making in complex situations. NICE guidelines have been developed for depression in children and young people (CG28) and suggest that CBT is an effective intervention for depression. However, the research also suggests that there are some young people who do not respond CBT for depression. Students will be encouraged to critically evaluate the current evidence base and guidelines as part of this module.

Special Topics in Autism Research and Practice (PHDE0082)

This Masters-level module will invite students to discuss, debate and evaluate the latest cutting-edge scientific research on autism research and practice. Taught through individual- and group-based learning approaches, students will not only broaden their understanding of autism research and practice, but will also develop an essential range of soft skills (e.g., creative thinking, teamwork, communication).

Sessions will be facilitated by international leaders in the field, and led by the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE) at IOE. Sessions will be structured around group tasks (e.g., debates, presentations) and activities (e.g., creating an engaging and accessible overview of a research paper, interviewing an autism researcher/advocate about their work). Students will be able to tailor each activity to their own areas of interest in the field of autism.  

The module is delivered in face-to-face sessions at IOE and is for anyone who wants to (a) enhance their knowledge and understanding of the latest autism research and practice, and (b) develop a range of essential and transferrable soft skills.
