The work in this unit stresses the unique role of art, images and enactment in psychotherapeutic work. Artists and performers present their work to the students. Through interactive reflection, students grapple with the theories of artistic creation and different cultural accounts of creativity, and begin to make sense of these issues within their growing understanding of therapeutic work. Students begin preparation for the various situations in which their placements and future work might occur. Through lectures by visiting practitioners students become familiar with some of the relevant models and schools of thought used in various therapeutic, educational and community settings. It is designed to help students understand the practices and termnologies they might encounter in some of the settings where they will do their placements during training and possibly seek employment after qualification. Students are introduced to models of assessment and processes of referral. Lectures include models of understanding systems and social contexts. Ethics and other issues of professional practice are introduced.
