PURPOSEThe programmes deliver the clinical skills and
theoretical background to work creatively and effectively with
people with a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis. The Postgraduate
Diploma in CBT for psychosis (CBTp) is designed for qualified
mental health practitioners and covers both the clinical skills and
theoretical background required to become an innovative and
successful practitioner of CBTp. We recommend completion of the
programme on a part-time basis, over two years. A fast-track one
year full time option is available for students with previous
experience of relevant clinical work and masters level study. The
Postgraduate Certificate in Therapy Skills emphasises the clinical
skills component of the programme, for mental health practitioners
who are primarily concerned with clinical practice, rather than
academic development. The Postgraduate Certificate in Theoretical
Background is designed for people without a mental health
qualification, for researchers or academics, or as an introduction
to CBTp. Students attend seminars and workshop teaching in order to
acquire a detailed understanding of psychological models and
interventions, together with their evidence base, but clinical
supervision is not usually provided. Certificate programmes are
offered on a part-time basis over a calendar year.
DESCRIPTION
The programmes have been developed with the South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and designed in accordance with the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence Schizophrenia Guideline psychological therapy recommendations (NICE, 2003, 2009). The purpose of the programmes is to improve the delivery of cognitive behavioural interventions for people with psychosis. CBTp is a complex therapeutic intervention and requires of independent practitioners an advanced theoretical understanding of cognitive models of psychosis and specialist post-qualification skills in relationship building, assessment, formulation and intervention. Our programmes train students in each of these requirements, enabling them to develop competence then mastery in therapy delivery, and to provide consultancy, training and supervision to others.
The programmes are modular, following a credit framework. Two
clinical skills modules build from early therapy activities
(Engagement, Assessment and Formulation – Module 1) through to
intervention and specialised applications (Intervention &
Supervised Practice; Module 2). Two academic modules develop
students' critical appraisal of the theory underlying psychological
models of psychosis (Theoretical background I: Psychological
Models, Module 3) and the evidence base for interventions
(Theoretical Background II: Interventions, efficacy & future
directions, Module 4). Diploma students complete all four modules;
clinical skills certificate students complete Module 1 and Module 2
only; theoretical background certificate students complete Modules
3 and Module 4 only.

Case supervision is strongly emphasised on the clinical
programmes. Weekly morning supervision sessions take place in small
groups (four to five) on the teaching day with all supervision
carried out by the programme team. Additional close supervision
(listening to audiorecordings of therapy sessions) is a course
requirement.
