Clinical psychology at
Odder Højskole
In Clinical Psychology, we explore when someone “falls apart.” When a person no longer fits under the umbrella of ‘normal’ and needs help in one way or another.
We ask questions about what is normal, and what happens when identity, self-confidence, and self-esteem can no longer be maintained.
