Handbook

In this subject you are guided in the integration with your current skill and knowledge level with a more in-depth understanding of family therapy theoretical models relating to the family and other contexts. In lectures/seminars you will explore in greater depth the major family therapy and associated theories and practices with an emphasis on developing a theoretically informed collaborative case conceptualisation. These theories and skills will then be applied in clinical work in small supervised groups working with families from The Bouverie Centre Clinical program. Emphasis in this semester will be on using the theoretical frameworks provided to reflect, with the assistance of the supervisor and small group, on your own clinical skill development in the context of your personal and professional history and in formulating, setting and working on goals for improved competence. You will work towards specified levels of skill as set out in defined competencies.
