Course details

This course comprises two modules and is worth 12 credit points. Both modules will run in the Autumn term. Module I is called Theoretical Issues. Module II is called Advanced Data Analysis and has been designed to expose students to various multivariate statistical techniques. Both modules are weighted equally, that is, each contributes 50% to the course's overall grade. Students must pass BOTH modules in order to gain a pass in the course.
Module 1: Theoretical Issues. This module aims to provide an understanding of the "theory" which has confronted "cognitive behavioural therapy".
Historically, philosophical disputes over epistemology about the best way to understand behaviour have divided psychologists. Furthermore, within a given philosophical perspective, psychologists remain divided over:
o which theory best describes cognition and behaviour;
o which model of training best prepares a student for psychological practice;
o how theory influences actual psychological practice.
