Group, Family and Systems Interventions
An examination of the theory and practice of group counselling, family counselling and organisational structure.Although this course is administratively separate from EDUC662 (Counselling Skills), you will find it useful to draw on material from both courses during the year. EDUC658 has a balance of theory, experiential learning and practice
Specific aims:a) To understand the theoretical foundations of group counselling, including stages of group development and group leadership;b) To learn and implement effective principles and practices of group work;c) To understand families and relationships as systems and be able to work with them to achieve their desired changes; d) To extend your view of counselling to incorporate approaches that are additional to the one-to-one setting;e) To encourage you to use self-reflection to inform and influence your practice.
Selection based on academic record, personal suitability, and an interview organised by the Coordinator of Counsellor Education. The closing date for applications is normally October 1 in the year prior to enrolment.
