Module Aims
To provide an in-depth understanding of the commonalities and differences within the humanistic tradition of therapy with a particular focus on person-centred approaches.
Content Summary
The module will be divided into two parts: Part 1 – Person-centred Approach to Counselling & Psychotherapy; Part 2 – the science of Compassionate Care. It will continue with the triangulate theme of Evidence-based Principles; Ethical Values and Critical Reflective Capability.
The module will provide students with a detailed understanding of the humanistic tradition of therapeutic principles and will facilitate a critical evaluation of these within the wider context of counselling and psychotherapy. A particular focus on Person-Centred theory will include developments from classical person-centred theory to contemporary debates in theory and practice including the notion of compassionate care. There will be a continued focus on socio-cultural and epidemiological themes.
