Syllabus: This experiential, process-oriented unit enables students to further develop their own unique counselling approach and style. Throughout the semester, each student focuses on a chosen area of practice and selects specific counselling and technical (intervention) skills that they wish to develop further. Students have the opportunity to hone these skills by participating in video taped role plays and Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) sessions. As part of this process, students engage in reflective dialogue with each other, offering commentaries on their own work and the work of their peers. Students who successfully complete this unit emerge with a deeper knowledge of their chosen area of practice and an enhanced sense of competence with regard to their counselling and technical skills.
Unit references, texts, outcomes and assessment details The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline.
