(2) A developing ability for self-reflexive practice in the context of their own professional settings.

Indicative Module Content:
Purpose of Retro Supervision: This Supervision is an integral part of the Modules on Retrospective Supervision in Year 3 and 4 of the Masters in Systemic Psychotherapy. The programme requires students to work directly with clients outside of the team training context and to bring this work for consultation and supervision on a retrospective basis to their Individual Clinical Supervisor and to the group supervision process. Video and audio recordings of students’ clinical work is an important aspect of student learning in this module. (We understand that this may not be possible because of data protection but we encourage you to try).
In order to ensure that the learning outcomes of met, 80% of student hours (160 hours) should be couple or family sessions and 20% (40 hours) with individuals. Please note with respect to consultations/ meetings if this is a significant systemic consultation in which you provide input as a systemic therapist - it can be nominated as a session.
If a therapist works with an individual and other people are invited in as a resource, this can be considered as part of the 80% proportion.
