Exploring Contemporary Issues and Ethical Practice in Psychology | A Study Visit by Psychology Students and Inspiring Guest Speakers

UNYT is thrilled to share the incredible experiences our students had during the “Contemporary Issues and Ethical Practice in Psychology” course, organized by our esteemed professor, Dr. Albana Canollari-Baze, recently recognized as a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society.

First, our students embarked on a meaningful visit to the Down Syndrome Albania Foundation (DSA) and its PRO PAK Service Center. They were warmly welcomed by Flavia Shehu, a dedicated clinical psychologist and the center’s director. Flavia shared the center’s vision and the wide range of services offered, highlighting the exceptional multidisciplinary professionals who fully comply with ethical principles and codes of conduct.

To conclude this enriching course, our Psychology Department had the pleasure of hosting a renowned psychologist, lecturer, and trainer, Denata Toçe. Denata, the Founder and Executive Director of the Albanian Center of Autism, is qualified as an International Behavior Analyst (BCBA). She shared her expertise in working with children on the autism spectrum, focusing on ethical considerations during early childhood intervention. Her insights were truly invaluable and left a lasting impact on our students.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Albana Canollari-Baze, Flavia Shehu, and Denata Toçe for their contributions to our student’s growth and understanding of psychology. Stay tuned for more updates on our exciting educational initiatives!
