This module fosters a critical and experiential exploration of human experience through the lens of Gestalt, Existential and Person-centred ideas. After an orientation to each approach in the early part of the module, the sessions move through a wide range of aspects of being a human in the world today with the aim of expanding your contextual understanding of self and other.
As the concepts of here and now, authentic being and relating, and exploring what it means to be alive are central to these approaches, you will develop your knowledge of a wide range of ideas which move from the generic to the specific, from the macrocosm to the microcosm.
