Scientist-practitioner model
The distinctive feature of the programme at Leiden is that the teaching is not restricted to the functioning of psychological processes. Within a scientist-practitioner model these insights are always translated into diagnostic and intervention issues. In this way you not only develop your knowledge of psychology as a science, you also learn to apply this knowledge in order to understand psychological problems and to develop effective interventions for dealing with these problems.
Aim of the programme
The aim of this specialisation is to acquire in-depth knowledge of factors that are causally involved in the occurrence, development and treatment of common mental disorders, such as anxiety and mood disorders, somatisation and personality problems and disorders. The programme also focuses on the development of your skills required to work in multidisciplinary teams, independently analyse problems, evaluate clinical programmes and report on clinical issues orally and in writing.
Assessment and intervention
On the basis of a scientist-practitioner model, you learn to apply basic assessment and intervention skills in the treatment of common mental disorders. During internships you conduct diagnostic assessments and clinical interventions under the close supervision of members of the staff with clinical experience.
Research Skills
Training is provided in all pertinent research skills, including reviewing the relevant literature, applying theoretical knowledge to analyse practical problems, developing hypotheses and writing research proposals, designing and carrying out empirical studies, designing and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions, conducting advanced statistical analyses, and presenting results and recommendations.
