Experiential group supervision 1

Objectives On completion of this subject students will have started a patient group and demonstrated the ability to apply the theory of group psychoanalysis to a patient group to achieve therapeutic outcomes.
Synopsis Students enrolled in this subject will have access to a number of patients through their professional work. They will select suitable patients for group work by discussion of each patient with the class prior to selection of the patient for the group. Once the patient group has been selected by each student, the student will commence twice-weekly sessions of one hour each as group conductor, as part of the student's professional work. The student will continue to participate in weekly experiential supervisory sessions with the class (1.5 hours each) in which the progress of the patient groups will be discussed.

Assessment Assessment will be made through reports given by the supervisor on the candidate's ability to make observations and apply theoretical knowledge.: 100%
