Course Overview

The Foundation level training is designed for practitioners who work with individuals, families and broader interagency systems. In this Association of Family Therapy (AFT) accredited course trainees are introduced to core theories and key ideas from the literature in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice. There is a strong emphasis on developing links between theory, reflexivity, feedback and practice.

A systemic approach explores the network of significant relationships of which each individual is a part of. It considers the beliefs that give meaning to people’s actions and the communication patterns between people as they interact with each other and each other’s ideas. The course builds on the wealth of experience that adults bring to the continuing of their professional development

This can be a stand-alone course as part of professional development in working systemically with individuals, families and agencies as well as the beginning of a Pg Diploma / Masters in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice leading to registration as a Systemic (Family). Our Foundation course is professionally accredited by the Association of Family Therapy (AFT).

Course Program

This Course consists of two modules.

 

Module 1: An Introduction to Systemic Thinking; Thinking About Families
From its roots in family therapy, systemic theory has developed substantially to embrace many contemporary challenges. This module explores the challenges to professional practice e.g. of cultural sensitivity and working collaboratively, and of contemporary thinking e.g. social constructionism.
Module 2: An Introduction to Systemic Practice
The development of systemic practice has taken place in a wide range of circumstances and so, within the systemic practice literature, there is a rich range of possibilities for practice development illustrated. This module explores the elements of contemporary systemic practice.
 

This course starts in Autumn 2024. Dates still to be finalised

Applications are now open.
