The Psychology Department, comprising of both clinical and forensic psychologists, is able to undertake specialist psychological assessments, including neuropsychological, personality and specialist risk assessments (e.g., HCR-20, PCL-R).
The Psychology Department provides individual and group interventions. Currently the psychologists are trained in a variety of models and approaches, and are therefore competent to holistically assess which model of therapy will best suit the specific patient. A wide range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches are thus utilised, including:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
- Psychodynamic Model
- Person Centered
- Solution Focused Therapy
- Systemic Approach
- Eye Movement Integration
- Ericksonian and Ego State Hypnotherapy
Group-related work consists of evidence-based, manualised group-interventions such as Reasoning and Rehabilitation groups, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. On the other hand Psycho-Educational groups are presented with regards to issues such as Understanding Mental Illness, Substance Misuse, Hearing Voices and Offending Behaviour. Some groups are facilitated using a psycho-dynamic/systems approach.
Psychologists are involved in consultation to professionals and teams, and themselves attend regular training and CPD activities. They actively participate and take a lead in delivering staff supervision and training. There is a degree of participation in research projects, audit/service development, and encouraging service user involvement at all levels. The aim is to closely monitor and steer the patient’s individual progress to enable regular clinical feed-back to all other teams involved.
