This unit focuses on theoretical understanding and clinical skills at an advanced and applied level. It provides exposure to some of the major theoretical systems, including interpersonal process psychotherapy, existential therapy, cognitive behaviouraltherapies and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Each student will choose one system (or an integrated system) and, under supervision, extensively develop his/her theoretical understanding and clinical skills by the end of the program. All students are expected to obtain competency in multimodal assessment and interpersonal process skills. The class work will involve role-playing and working with clients, video taping, viewing of films and tapes, and didactic input. Self disclosure is expected as a part of this course. This unit will be conducted in accordance with the APS 'Code of Professional Conduct'. This unit has been developed for students admitted to the Doctor of Philosophy (Counselling Psychology).
