This module will take a critical look at the use of specialist approaches within therapeutic settings, pluralism, integration and then contrast these other approaches such as psychotherapeutic and cognitive behavioural approaches.
Within this module the theoretical foundations of each of the therapeutic models will be considered and you will be required to reflect on the potential strengths and limitations of the model in your work with clients. This will involve looking at the way therapeutic change can occur, psychological issues and the nature and development of human beings.
This module will take a critical overview of contemporary issues in counselling psychology and apply these to brief therapeutic interventions and how these fit in with broader humanistic approaches.
