Professional Reflections & Observations
Full course description
The goals of PRO-F are to increase self-reflective skills through a number of individual and group exercises and Zoom meetings. Students will be invited to discuss common issues encountered during the internship year and learn from each other. Groups of max. 6 students will meet every 8 weeks (6 meetings of 2h in total) via Zoom in the presence of a ‘group mentor’ to discuss specific tasks and activities that have been performed in the weeks before it. Each meeting will have a specific theme and sometimes themes that have been discussed earlier in the year will return in another form towards the end.
The themes are: character strengths and challenges, energy management, professional boundaries, and ethical dilemmas in forensic psychology.
Course objectives
At the end of this course students have the ability:
- to reflect on their own professional behavior (incl. ethical standards) and development as they apply to forensic psychology (including specific best practice ethical standards for forensic psychologists);
- to work effectively in a research setting and/or in an applied/forensic-clinical setting.
