Part II of the programme is offered if you already hold a recognized Postgraduate Diploma in Family Therapy and have fulfilled the necessary criteria for eligibility. This second part of the course gives you the opportunity to continue to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to become qualified family and systemic therapists. It enables you to develop reflective practice in your clinical work, as well as explores specialized issues and current theoretical debates in family therapy and systemic consultation and supervision.
The programme of studies for Part II of the course extends over a period of two years of part-time study which involves mostly year- long core practice (which may only occasionally be held during the day, but mostly during the evenings) undertaken in different local therapeutic contexts providing the basis for the development of systemic skills and practice. The course also includes a research component involving the writing of a dissertation.
The programme aims to train you to:
- learn and apply a range of therapeutic approaches based on systemic principles, with families, couples and individuals.
- learn about models for conceptualizing presenting problems, and specific skills for conducting systemic psychotherapy.
- learn the core topics and concepts in systemic thinking.
