This course will offer a broad introduction to the core terms, concepts and current debates in the practice of the Clinical Psychology of Children and Young People.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Understand the importance of a positive and healthy childhood, and be able to offer theoretical perspectives on what constitutes this.
• Understand and explain the social and familial context within which psychological problems may develop, and how environments may be modified in an attempt to ameliorate problems.
• Ability to understand and to critically examine global differences in normative childhood and emerging mental health difficulties in different cultural and political contexts.
