In completing the third assignment you will need to explain the role of the clinical psychologist within this area, though you should focus more strongly on evaluating the usefulness of the contribution clinical psychologists make. We won’t be giving you many marks for simply describing what clinical psychologists do. In order to prepare an answer that provides a good level of critical evaluation and discussion you should be guided by the questions included in appendix 7.1 of the module handbook, though you do not have to answer all these questions comprehensively, and you may have additional ideas of your own which are not covered by these questions. You can use the discussion board and critical reflection lectures to develop your ideas by asking the practitioner tutors about aspects of their clinical work.
