Do you have any comments in relation to the time devoted to the different areas covered by your course?
Now that I am coming to the end of training, I think it would have been nice to have felt proficient in a therapy other
than CBT (maybe comprehensive ACT training or the possibility of becoming IPT trained) however hopefully I will have
opportunity for that when I am qualified.
Very CBT based, although many other topics covered, even if only introductory. Greater depth needed for other areas
The course is very CBT focussed
As it has to be CBT focus I understand the big focus in first year. I found that too much time was spent on assessment
and formulation without much time spent on intervention.
We are taught IPT but it would appear there is not many supervisors qualified so you can use it on placement
The course is quite CBT heavy, but there is the option in 3rd year to select alternative therapies in teaching blocks.
In first year it is mainly CBT focused but there is some training on IPT too.
With regards to placements, how satisfied are you with the way your course prepares you?
