Course contents

M-PSI/05: The lab will allow students to apply the methods and tools of community psychology and use them in the design (and possibly implementation) of a prevention / well-being promotion project in the community through Service Learning (SL). The SL methodology encourages experiential learning (Learning) through active school/community engagement (Service). Students work on a concrete problem identified through the collaboration of a universities and community /school/local organization partnership.

SL include the following activities:

• context analysis in collaboration with local stakeholders / focus groups with target population,

• design of the intervention (objectives and methodologies) and of the assessment plan,

• implementation of the intervention (if possible),

• documentation of the course (group final report) and return to the stakeholders.

M-PSI/08: Clinical cases presentation and discussion. Role playing on the psycho-diagnostic clinical interview. Motivational interviewing.

The Laboratory is for students of the first year of the Second Cycle Degree/Two Year Master in Clinical Psychology of the School of Psychology and Education.

The Laboratory will take place during the first semester (October 2017-January 2018) for the M-PSI/05 part (Community Psychology - Professor Cinzia Albanesi) and during the second semester (March-May 2018) for the M-PSI/08 part (Clinical Psychology - Dr. Laura Sirri) at the Cesena Campus of the School of Psychology and Education (address: piazza Aldo Moro, 90 and viale Europa, 115).
