Course Aims

Students will plan, conduct, and write up an independent evidence- based practice (EBP) project. Although research informed, the project does not necessarily aim to put into practice all the elements of psychological research. Instead, emphasis is on an in-depth appraisal of evidence, application and the analysis and adjustment of a play therapy clinical practice.

The evidence- based practice project is a creative endeavor that produces and reports new knowledge or professional methods. Project will have both theoretical/academic and applied components. Students will conduct the planning of the project in this course, and continue with the plan application and report writing in the course MPT515 Evidence-based Practice Project II.
