From an integrative perspective.
The unique feature of this course is that we have established a team of external tutors who are all experts in their particular theoretical approach. Perspectives covered are: Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Person Centred Therapy, Transference and Countertransference and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This eclectic approach enables participants to have some understanding of theoretical views other than their own and also helps those practitioners who are supervising people from other modalities than their own. In addition, there is a one day seminar looking at ethical issues, including the very present dynamic of increasing numbers of complaints within the profession.
Structure
There is a strong emphasis and training in understanding the importance of transferential and counter-transferential issues within the triad of the supervisory process – the supervisor, the supervisee and the client. As well, external tutors give a demonstration of supervision from their theoretical base. Supervised supervision practice is an integral and core element of the course and students are required to undertake 40 hours of supervision practice in order to qualify. This includes feedback from both tutors and peer members of the group.
All applicants must be eligible for individual accreditation with the BACP or an equivalent awarding body.
