MRes Mental Health: Psychological Therapies
This MRes gives you the expertise to assess mental health problems, understand their origins and help recovery. You’ll learn about psychological therapies including individual cognitive behavioural therapies, cognitive analytic therapies, psychodynamic therapies, as well as group and family therapies. You’ll come to know which interventions may be helpful for whom.
During your experiential group, you’ll have the opportunity to become more mindful and experienced in working with emotional, behavioural and psychological distress. You’ll also learn about research methods in social sciences, and undertake an original research project.
By the time you complete the programme, you’ll be a skilled communicator, adept at expressing your ideas in spoken or written form.
You may need to pay for travel costs to your placements.
Some placement providers may ask you to provide your own DBS assessment, which will cost between £30 and £50, depending on the provider.
