Evaluation
Evaluation: Training Adult Client-Oriented Psychotherapy (B-KUL-P2Q29a)
Explanation
After each practicum the student completes an evaluation form (to be found on Toledo). These reports and the contribution of the student during the practicum determine the final assessment for 50%.
Additionally there is the obligatory selfstudy of articles and chapters from books. Of these selfstudy the student makes a report in which he/she reflects on:
'What can I apply in my work placement?'
'What can I use to profile myself as a clinical psychologist?'
The aim is not for the student to make a synthesis in this report. We expect a "personal reflection".
This report is 3 à 4 pages, maximum 100 lines. The selfstudy determines the final assessment for 50 %.
