| Course description | The aim of this module is to introduce 2 key features of counselling and work informed by counselling, namely listening and attunement. These concepts and practices will be explored in relation to the 2 main theoretical frameworks offered on this programme: the person-centred approach and psychodynamic perspectives. In this context, meanings and practices of dialogue will also be discussed, and dialogue between the module tutors and the two main (theoretical) perspectives will be central to teaching and facilitation. |
