Course description IPT Level D is designed for IPT-UK accredited practitioners who wish to progress to IPT-UK accredited supervisor status. It is designed to support practitioners in receiving an IPT-UK accredited taught supervision course to support them in their supervision of others. Students will attend two days of supervisor training teaching which will include the opportunity to co-rate audio-tapes of clinical practice. IPT level D is designed for individuals who wish to undertake advanced casework (cases 5 and 6) and supervision of supervision independently from the University. It would contribute to part of a portfolio that could be submitted for IPT-UK accreditation at supervisor status. IPT is an evidence-based, safe and effective therapy for depression and related disorders. This course will focus on the development of supervision skills specific to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) through contact days with the university. The course forms part of the MSc in Psychological Therapies and students have a range of options for continuing their studies on completion of this course. Due to the practice based elements of this course, the course is delivered over one year.
