Description

Studies of counselling and psychological theories and their implication for practice. Practice in the skills of a problem-management model of helping.

In this course students learn and practise some introductory helping skills while they are learning about several major theories of counselling and psychotherapy.

There will be an emphasis on experiential learning such as role play and selfevaluation of a video.
