Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
The focus of this module is on developing students’ abilities to understand and to articulate the understandings of their clinical casework, in a systemic context. The learning tool will be predominantly student presentations of their own work and group discussion of these presentations. Students will choose a piece of client work (from their own workplace or from the programme) in which they are directly involved, and about which they have some questions. These presentations should focus more on the self-reflexivity of the therapist’s difficulties and queries rather than the content of the family difficulty.In first instance, students present a synthesis of case details including a genogram; secondly, they identify and discuss their key clinical questions. A reflective team offers the presenting students with their observations regarding the options to pursue their clinical work. In the final instance, the supervisor discusses the learning with the presenting students in front of the group. Students are encouraged to make integration links across all clinical modules
