The module explores Brief Therapy from a humanistic perspective in depth, and extends your learning beyond generic humanistic counselling practice.
You will reflect on your developing understanding of your own sense of self as a congruent humanistic practitioner and on the ways that this particular model may, or may not, fit with your developing way of working.
In this module you will also explore appropriate interventions and techniques relevant to the specialist humanistic approach that are specific to OPT media.
You will explore the factors that may affect mental health in diverse populations in society, the roots of prejudice and how issues such as difference and discrimination can be experienced as a result. The module will explore how prejudice can be counteracted through policies and projects aimed at equality of provision of psychological services in health and social services.
You will be encouraged to reflect on your own prejudices through a phenomenological approach, which builds on theories explored in the course modules.
