Overview

The Clinical Psychology MSc programme from Queen's University adheres to a scientist-practitioner model of training with greater emphasis on scientific training.

The major aim is not only to transmit existing knowledge, but to develop constructively critical attitudes and creative skills in psychologists who are dedicated to clinical psychology as a scientific profession, so that they will be able to make useful and novel contributions to the solution of problems arising in clinical settings.

All three functions of clinical psychology are stressed: assessment, treatment and research. Objective methods are preferred in assessment, and the major emphasis in treatment is on empirically-based methods.

Instruction emphasizes cognitive-behavioural approaches, although reference is also made to other psychotherapeutic approaches as well as physical methods of treatment.
