It includes a consideration of neurobiological contributions to the understanding of abnormal development and its psychological consequences. The module seeks to encourage students to understand mental illnesses from a clinically informed fashion, in terms of aetiology, classification and treatment. The specific manner in which fields of counselling and psychotherapy assess and manage these issues will be explored, focusing especially on the therapeutic application entailed, and the therapeutic justification for decisions. This module will also contextualise these areas through promoting an appreciation of the multi-cultural and religious issues that can arise in various treatment settings, and the counselling field more broadly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-2\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tDeveloping integrative Counselling Practice\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The module will synthesise and build upon the material presented in previous modules by revisiting the main modalities of person-centred theory, psychodynamic theory and gestalt.

It will challenge them to reflect effectively on the professional and ethical dimensions to the practice in the specific counselling area; to take on board the roles of Evidence base practice EBP and Practice based evidence PBE within a research friendly approach as they aspire to become Professional, Ethical, Reflective, Practitioners. Students will be encouraged to demonstrate how far and in what ways they are engaged in planning their on-going personal and professional development. During the taught case discussion group sessions students will present their anonymised work verbally or via recordings for formative feedback and discussion from tutors and peers. Particular attention will be given to preparation for professional VIVA and being able to present client material in a professional, reflective, non-defensive and ethical way.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-2\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tthe Counselling Placement\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Degree in Integrative Counselling, namely a clinical placement undertaken by students from Years 2-3. Assessment on this module requires them to provide evidence of their completion of, and learning from, their placements. Whilst on placement, students\u2019 progress is closely monitored through the personal tutorial system (attendance at personal tutorials at six monthly intervals or after 60 hours of counselling practice, whichever is sooner). They are also closely monitored on the programme through attending Case Discussion Groups, where they regularly present and discuss their client work and gain feedback from a tutor with considerable experience as a counselling practitioner. The Placement Panel also oversees clinical work and liaises with the student, placement and supervisor where needed through the Four-Way Agreement which was signed by all parties and is specifically referred to in module COF436. This module will also incorporate continuing practice and reflection on core OPT competencies taught in previous modules across year 1 and 2. This will be seen in the number and medium through which counselling practice and supervision hours are accrued during the placement. and in accompanying counselling records as listed below.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-2\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tResearch Methods in Counselling\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module deepens students understanding of the underlying principles of research methods across qualitative and quantitative approaches with a focus on qualitative research methods.
