BA LX5C Therapeutic Communication and Therapeutic Organisations
Throughout TCTO we want you to be thinking about the link between the learning you do at university, and its impact on your practice. It's also important to make the link the other way: what does your practice tell you about the usefulness of the theories you are learning about at university? Finally, we want you to develop your skills in thinking about your practice, as you take up your role each day. Now that you are in the third (BA Hons) year of the programme, you should be making these connections in a developed and sophisticated way
The four "golden threads" of TCTO are :-
- Being aware of what you are feeling , and the sources of those feelings
- Being able to make use of “self” to reach a deeper understanding of “other”
- Being familiar with psychodynamic language in order to be able to conceptualise this deeper understanding
- Being able to use this understanding to then work therapeutically.
As you progress through this module try to hold these in mind, and use them as a guide. There is no formal teaching. The onus is on you to make the links and develop your practice. To help you :-
- a) We ask you to keep a weekly reflective journal.
- b) We ask you to have fortnightly meetings with a mentor of your choice.
- c) There will zoom seminars each term to take stock of how the mentoring is going.
- d) We will also have occasional discussions directly with the mentors.
The module is assessed by a reflective report.
The aims of this module are to consolidate at an advanced level capacities to:
- Link theory to practice in understanding client work
- Apply learning from the course to the student’s own client work
- Understand organisational dynamics and their implications for client work
- Use reflective practice in the workplace
- Use mentoring as an aid for deeper and more effective work.
By the end of the module, students will be expected to be able to:
- Understand their clients at a deeper level
- Understand their own role in the workplace at a deeper level
- Apply psychodynamic understanding to all aspects of their workplace independently
- Apply psychodynamic understanding to their own practice independently
- Carry forward their own development as psychodynamic practitioners after the completion of the degree.
No additional information available.
