The primary mission of the department of clinical psychology is to train clinical psychologists who are adept at the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of individuals afflicted by psychological distress. Moreover, we envisage the production of graduating students who are able to provide clinical psychological services across the developmental spectrum and with an acute sensitivity to particular of individuals from a wide range of varied cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. We promote a scientist-practitioner approach to the work of a clinical psychologist and as such empirical evidence underlies our approach to all areas of our work. Overall, promoting a greater awareness of psychological needs and actively combating mental health stigma with the community and broader society within which we live are essential goals of this department.
