| Course description |
This course provides an in-depth discussion of key themes arising in counselling practice, informed by the dialogue between the person-centred approach and psychodynamic perspectives. The selection of themes will be finalised in negotiation with students taking the course in advance of the first session; examples might include depression, trauma, self-harm and attachment. Each theme will be explored in relation to theory and practice drawing extensively on participating students' therapeutic work. The ethical and confidentiality issues raised by this are discussed in the first session. |
