Module Aims
To offer learning contexts in which participants can critically analyse practice of systemic therapeutic approaches (theoretical bases), methods (applications) and techniques (specific skills).
To enhance participants’ work with families, couples, and individuals and critique practices within their agency and professional context.
To promote reflective practice and thereby enhance participants’ ability to appraise their practice within the perspectives of teamwork, multi-disciplinary professional networks, different family contexts (race, culture, socio-economic, gender, contemporary socio-political, health, disability, sexual orientation, diversity of family and kinship organisations) and the self of the practitioner.
To facilitate the development of consultative processes in relation to systemic practice.
Content Summary
This module is designed to develop further skills, knowledge and critical analysis 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.
This module also supports fulfilment of the second year of psychotherapy training as required by the professional body (UKCP) and is a prerequisite for eligibility to apply for the MSc in Systemic Psychotherapy which forms years 3 and 4 of a Psychotherapy qualification.
