Course content
The Postgraduate Professional Development in Evidence-based Psychological Treatment course is designed for those who wish to improve their clinical knowledge of effective psychological treatments.
Run by the Charlie Waller Institute for Evidence-based Psychological Treatment within the Department of Psychology, a key aspect of this course is flexibility in psychological treatments.
You can attend specific modules according to your individual professional needs and working environment. Some modules hone skills and knowledge in a specific area (e.g. older people, trauma etc) and others cover a diverse range of disorders in less detail. Each module holds a University credit evaluation, and on successful completion these credits can be accumulated towards a University of Reading qualification in Professional Development in Evidence-Based Psychological Treatment.
For more information, please visit the School of Psychology's website.
