BA LX5C Therapeutic Communication and Therapeutic Organisations
This module is designed to enable the students to take up a mentoring or supervisory role in their organisation by equipping them with theoretical understanding of the dynamics of that role, and by considering in depth their mentoring or supervision experience
• Develop the students’ capacity to take up a more senior role in their agencies
• Improve their understanding of and skill in supervisory/mentoring relationships
• Recognise the basic models, aims and terminology used in mentoring, supervision and coaching
• Provide an experience in a mentoring role
By the end of the module students will have gained:
• A good understand of the theory of mentoring and supervision, and an introductory knowledge of coaching
• A greater understanding of the dynamics of the mentoring/supervision relationship
• An understanding of how the dynamic relationship between the mentoring couple reflects the mentee’s relationship with their clients and the organisational dynamics
• A capacity to intervene effectively in the mentoring relationship when problems occur
No additional information available.
Seminar 1 – Theory Seminar: Students will discuss readings on the topic of mentoring and supervision, primarily but not solely from a psychodynamic perspective.
Workshop 1 – Students have the opportunity to participate in brief mentoring sessions which others can observe. Each week some students will pair up as a mentor and mentee and participate in a brief mentoring session. This session acts as a live learning exercise - for the experience of mentoring, the developing of skills and a place to consider how the theory relates to the practice. We learn together in an open and reflective way. There will also be a Reflective Group at the end of this module.
Seminar 2 – Observation Seminar: Students will bring descriptions of mentoring experience gained in their workplace to present and discuss.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
