COUN400 Emerging Paradigms in Psychotherapy

10 cp
Prerequisites Nil

This unit explores contemporary schools of thought and current trends in counselling and psychotherapy. Such approaches include feminist theoretical influences, solution-focused and brief counselling, narrative and expressive therapies, psychotherapy integration, psychotherapy and neurosciences, and their application in practice. The importance of evidence-based and empirically supported practice and ongoing systematic research to support continued and/or modified use in counselling is emphasised. Ten hours of skills-based training relevant to these therapies will be the focus of the tutorial program.
