Credit Points: 30
Prerequisites:
APT5152 Module 2
 
Description:

Fundamental theories underlying art and psychotherapy are examined in depth. This involves both the inter-subjective and intra-subjective sides of human experience. The cultural, gender and political contexts in which people suffer psychological distress, care for others, and make art are also considered. Contrariwise, the unit will also look at the impact of art, literature and popular culture on therapeutic practice itself. Students will be encouraged to develop a theoretical understanding along with some of the fundamental interpersonal skills that underlie most forms of psychotherapy, counselling and the arts therapies. Training Groups and Image Seminars continue through this module.
