Clinical Psychology Unit

Welcome to the Clinical Psychology Unit at the University of Sydney's School of Psychology, located at 94 Mallett Street in Camperdown, Australia. As the first School of Psychology in Australia, we are proud to be ranked 27th in the world for psychology. Our institution is committed to continuous innovation and excellence in research and teaching.

Psychology is a captivating field that is constantly seeking answers to a multitude of questions. At the School of Psychology, we strive to build upon our successes in order to make new discoveries and drive positive change. Our dedicated team of researchers and educators are passionate about pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding in the field of psychology.

One of our recent groundbreaking studies conducted by University of Sydney researchers focused on frontotemporal dementia. The study found that individuals who were born overseas and initially spoke a language other than English were able to tolerate the disease for a longer period of time before symptoms manifested. This research sheds light on the potential impact of language and cultural factors on neurological diseases.

In addition to our research endeavors, we are also excited to share a recent discovery related to coffee consumption. Our researchers have found that decaffeinated coffee can alleviate withdrawal symptoms in individuals who rely on their daily caffeine fix. This placebo effect offers a potential solution for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake without experiencing uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.

Furthermore, we are proud to announce that six of our early career researchers across various scientific disciplines have been named as Superstars of STEM. This prestigious recognition highlights their exceptional scientific research and their commitment to science outreach. We are thrilled to have such talented individuals contributing to our institution's success.

Our team of experienced and compassionate psychologists are committed to helping individuals of all ages overcome mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being.
