Clinical and Health Psychology

About this course

Clinical and health psychology applies psychological knowledge to the understanding, prevention, and treatment of mental and physical health conditions. Where general psychology asks broad questions about human behaviour and cognition, clinical and health psychology focuses those questions specifically on wellbeing and illness: how psychological factors contribute to the development of health problems, how people adjust to and cope with illness and disability, and what therapeutic approaches can help people live better lives. This three-year full-time degree at the University of Gloucestershire offers a grounded introduction to this applied branch of psychology. You will study the theoretical foundations of both clinical and health psychology, examining models of mental disorder, approaches to psychological assessment and formulation, and the evidence base for major therapeutic approach
