Module Aims
This module aims to offer learning contexts in which participants can develop their understanding and practice of systemic therapeutic approaches (theoretical bases), methods (applications) and techniques (specific skills) in order to facilitate the development of consultative processes in relation to systemic practice.
Content Summary
This module promotes reflective practice and thereby enhances participants’ ability to appraise their practice within the perspectives of teamwork, multi-disciplinary professional networks, different family contexts and the self of the practitioner.
This module is designed to develop further skills and knowledge of systemic practice with families, couples, individual adults and children in the context of wider social and professional systems. The Course content will provide opportunity for development of reflective practice encompassing theoretical grounding, skills development through experiential exercises, video/audio supervision, and observation by participants of live clinical work. The module will also contribute towards the enrichment of multi-disciplinary dissemination of knowledge and practice through participants from a range of professional backgrounds bringing expertise from their own contexts to the learning on the module.
