Learning unit contents
This course introduces students to the clinical approach in psychology, and more specifically to the following elements:
- Application of the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) approach;
- Psychological examination: from the anamnesis to the conclusions;
- Clinical interview: listening, analysing the request, regulation, interview tools;
- Observation methods: decoding reality, characteristics of the observation, advantages and limitations;
- Psychometric evaluation: the use of standardised tests, their psychometric´ quality, the elements to be taken into account when interpreting the results obtained, taking into account the normative reference data;
- The submission of oral and written conclusions.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The course is designed to provide students with the basics of the application of EBP : psychological examination, interviewing and observation. At the end of this course, the student will be able to use professional communication to take a anamnesis, to make an initial analysis of the results obtained using established standards and to have a critical view of the conclusions reached.
The student will be familiar with the modalities and techniques of the clinical psychology interview.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A good knowledge of searching for evidence, statistics and psychometrics is required: it is worthwhile to review from time to time the material from previous courses, such as introduction to literature search, psychostatistics and introduction to measurement theories and methods in psychological sciences and educational sciences.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This course is based on lectures, elearning (eCampus and MOOC), and exercises to be done in groups.

Exam(s) in session
Attendance at TP 1 is compulsory. Failure to attend 2 exercise sessions without a medical certificate automatically results in failure of the 1st session and the obligation to attend the TP organised for the 2nd session, under penalty of automatic failure in the 2nd session.
The final mark is based on a written examination consisting of a first part with closed questions (multiple choice questions; out of 20 points) and a second part with open questions (out of 20 points). The first part assesses knowledge of the subject, while the second part assesses understanding of the subject and the ability to apply and analyse the subject. Students must therefore obtain a mark of at least 10/20 in each part.
- In the event of failure in the first part, the second part is not corrected and a mark of 0/20 is therefore awarded to the second part. The overall score awarded constitutes the average between the score of the first part and the score of 0/20. During the copy consultation session, the expected answers for the second part will be explained to the students present at this session;
- In the event of success in the first part and failure in the second, only the mark for the second part (out of 20) is awarded to the student. The mark of the first part is therefore not taken into consideration in the calculation of the overall mark;
- If both parts are passed, the overall score is established by the average of the two scores.
In the event of failure in the first session, the student must represent both parts in the 2nd session. There will be no carryover of grades from one session to another.
