Syllabus: |
Introduces students to the history and development of a wide range of counselling theories and practices. These include a critical consideration of psychodynamic, cognitive and behavioural, person centred and experiential approaches with an emphasis on interactive and interpretive understandings. Particular attention will be given to social values and beliefs that shape the ongoing enactment of these theories. The 'use of self' in counselling will be discussed, and working with diversity and the importance of culture and context will be stressed. Task centred and crisis intervention will be included. Approaches will be explored for their relation to specific client groups and situations. Students will be encouraged to relate what they learn in class to their current position. |
