Content
This unit is designed to provide the theoretical and practical framework for the major evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches with a particular emphasis on cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and other relevant therapies. The unit is focused on skill acquisition in intervention practice and management of therapeutic process. The emphasis is on facilitation of practical skill development in terms of content and process. Additionally, the unit will enable students to develop an appreciation of the "common factors" fundamental to outcome in all psychotherapeutic approaches and consideration of culture. Opportunities to develop skills will occur through demonstration, observation, practical rehearsal (role-play) and individualised feedback during online role play sessions and in the intensive class activities to support deliberate practice and skill development.
