Module code: PSY5016-B
This module will focus on how to expand the scopes of traditional problem-solving therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT) and Positive Psychotherapy (PPT). Students will explore and understand assessment and treatment of psychological problems. Students will also learn how to re-examine most mental health conditions by shifting the focus from a deficit-based view of psychopathology, where symptoms and deficit are the core of mental illness, to a view where the regulation and dysregulation of strengths assumes a central role in human flourishing. The module will critically analyse advantages and limits of CBT and PPT, and it will offer opportunities to reflect on how to improve the clinical and psychotherapeutic practice.
