Integrative Psychotherapy

This course encourages students to develop their own approach to integration, paying particular attention to the co-created nature of the therapeutic relationship at both the explicit verbal level and the implicit non-verbal level of connection; the course sees tasks as taking a critical perspective on a range of ideas and encouraging students to hold the tensions between some of these as well as creating a coherence in their response to clients; to this end, place particular emphasis on self-reflexive practice.
