Syllabus: Reflection and enactment is encouraged in class participation and in life situations. The importance of culture and context and the multiple dimensions of power are highlighted in our awareness of interpersonal and organisational communications. As it is acknowledged that counselling is always a two way process and that issues discussed will touch upon the counsellors past or present life experiences, there will be a weekend given to critical reflective practice and self awareness. Explorations of individual beliefs and attitudes can help counsellors attend to any personal issues that may be getting in the way of effective practice. An experienced and competent professional practitioner will facilitate this confidential group. A weekend intensive educational trip is a requirement for this unit.
