This module provides 3rd year Clinical Psychology trainees with the competencies to work effectively with people with personality disorder and to work within forensic settings, including understanding requirements relating to providing court reports and expert witness work.
Additionally, provision is made for specialist, elective teaching on the basis of topics identified in consultation with trainees. The aim of this elective teaching, is to provide some flexibility in the teaching provided in the course of the 3-year doctoral-level training programme, to include additional specialist topics.

A range of teaching strategies will be used in this module, including lectures, small group discussions, case presentations and practical work. Additionally, given the focus on clinical approaches and skill development, some practical sessions involving role-play (with specific therapeutic techniques) will also be used.
Audio-visual material (especially for topic area 2.1) will be used to further demonstrate the practical application of various therapeutic interventions and techniques. Trainees will also be required to complete various self-report measures (they will not be required to divulge any findings) in order to familiarise themselves with the measures as well as the constructs involved.
