Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student feedback to supervisors on internal placement

Feedback

Students report that having a unit dedicated to learning Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) allowed them to develop sufficient competency in using ACT to effectively use this intervention on placement.

Recommendation

Consider retaining a significant portion of ACT in PSYC20059, the unit that will replace PSYC21004. Students in the first year of CG17 Master of Clinical Psychology will take the unit PSYC20059 instead of this unit.

Feedback from Clinical Psychology teaching team.

Feedback

This unit should extend students' clinical intervention skills in preparation for the registrar program leading to a Psychology Board of Australia Area of Practice Endorsement in Clinical Psychology.

Recommendation

This unit will focus on skill acquisition for a variety of models of intervention, thereby extending students' ability beyond the CBT and ACT models taught in the first year of study in clinical psychology.

Feedback from Clinical Psychology teaching team.

Feedback

The unit name does not reflect the advanced level of the content that will be taught in this unit in the second (final) year of study in clinical psychology.

Recommendation

Rename this unit to become 'Advanced Clinical Interventions' to reflect the advanced level of the content and the unit being taught in the second (final) year of study in clinical psychology.
