This module will take place in Autumn, Spring and Summer Trimesters and will comprise 29 live supervised sessions of 4 hours each. Students will gain experience of working with a wide range of families with a diverse range of issues. The student will have the opportunity to develop a capacity to establish and maintain a therapeutic relationship with clients, articulate theoretical perspectives underpinning clinical practice, describe their decision making process from a systemic perspective, and show a capacity to identify, articulate and manage ethical considerations that emerge in therapeutic practice. An aspect of learning for students will be to recognise the limits of their professional knowledge and skills.
