This course, which is restricted to clinical psychology postgraduate students, provides students with a basic understanding of the conceptual foundations of cognitive and behavioural therapies for child, adolescent and adult disorders including adapting CBT for Maori and Pasifika. To this end, the course will explore the theory, application and processes of cognitive and behavioural intervention approaches with reference to specific psychological disorders or problematic behaviour patterns, as well as highlight pertinent empirical data on the effectiveness of the various psychological interventions reviewed. As part of this course students will prepare for and participate in a noho marae, where they will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge of tikanga and learn about kaupapa Maori approaches.
