Description

An overview of the effectiveness of the interventions and therapies commonly used in the treatment of various childhood disorders.

This is an open entry course. The course is about working with children with anxiety disorders, motivational problems, behaviour problems, and learning difficulties of various types. Equal weight is given to (a) the results of scientific research into the origins of these kinds of difficulties, their diagnosis, and the relative effectiveness of different kinds of interventions and (b) the development of your diagnostic skills and intervention skills with respect to each of these kinds of childhood difficulties. The emphasis is on what works and how we come to know what works.
