Description
This subject recognises that the effectiveness of therapy interventions is indicated by the number and quality of studies that have been conducted into each intervention. Evidence-based research is expected to continue to inform therapeutic interventions over time. With the future of evidence based practice so assured, this subject prepares students into the theory and practice of evidence-based counselling and therapy across the lifespan and uses specific examples from autism research and therapy to demonstrate the application of the theory to practice.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Present an evidence-based intervention orally, adapting content to the needs of diverse client populations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

- Communicate a case analysis in written form, applying an evidence-based intervention using discipline-appropriate professional conventions.
- Reflect on the influence of personal values and assumptions on the selection and delivery of therapeutic interventions.
- Critically evaluate the empirical evidence supporting counselling and therapy interventions across the lifespan.
