Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes of UE

Seventy-five percent of the children or adolescents who consult the clinical psychologist arrive because of difficulties at school or suffering resulting from them. School maladjustments cover a reality that is far from a global or uniform notion. Their consequences are often multi-factorial and multi-faceted. The course aims to help students develop the analytical and comprehension skills needed to make a differential diagnosis. They will be sensitized to two perspectives: the individual objectivist approach on the one hand, involving biological, cognitive and psychological factors specific to the child, and the eco-systemic approach on the other hand, involving socio-economic, family, cultural and institutional factors specific to the different systems involved. The school issue is approached from the angle of clinical psychology and more specifically from the systemic approach.
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Through readings of articles, case studies and exchanges of experiences between different professionals concerned with school failure, the student discovers what the child's discomfort in school can cover and engender as suffering. Emphasis will be placed on the resilient processes that can be activated in the school system to promote learning and fight against failure. The question of choosing the most appropriate therapeutic intervention based on the diagnosis will also be addressed.
