POST-GRADUATE COURSE
The post-graduate course welcomes applications from people who have completed the one year course in psychotherapy. A minimum of one year’s wait from the end of the one year course to the beginning of the post-graduate course is necessary to rest and digest and integrate the learning from the one year. In order to maintain relationships with your peers from the one year course and maximise continuity of support and networking for the future we suggest you continue by joining the post-graduate course after the year’s break.
The post-graduate course is designed to build on the material presented in the one year course in psychotherapy and to continue understanding ourselves and the use of the self in therapy, deepen knowledge of the therapeutic relationship through role play and coaching and build a foundation for professional networking and continued education.
The content of the course includes abnormal psychology, gender issues in therapy, transference and counter-transference, secrecy, intuition, formative psychology, a deeper look at the game of persecutor, rescuer, victim, issues of being a professional such as networking, ambition, competition, and jealousy. Time will be spent on group process and the theory of groups. There will also be time for other subjects, focusing particularly on questions and issues arising through your work over the year.
The staff for the course are Julia Naish and Anna Patterson. The course is under the direction of Terry Cooper and Jenner Roth.
The 2010 course consists of two three-day workshops: Monday-Wednesday, January 18-20 and Monday-Wednesday, December 13-15, one two-day workshop: Monday-Tuesday, May 24-25, and fifteen Mondays: February 1, 15, March 1, 15, April 26, May 10, June 14, 28, July 5, September 20, October 4, 18, November 1, 15, 29.
