Key words
- Psychotherapy, psychiatry, mental health care and clinical psychology
Objectives
- A bachelor in AP incorporates the core principles of the psychotherapeutic interview in order that he might perform one of his two main duties – the provision of psychological assistance – effectively.
- This course component provides a general theoretical and practical frame of reference within which the various psychotherapeutic intervention techniques are situated. In Year 3, this frame is broadened and deepened in the course component ‘Optional subject: elective discipline module: clinical psychology’. This course component ties in closely with every specialist subject in the clinical domain.
Topics
- Acquire knowledge: Who needs help? The non-directive interview
- Use this knowledge to good purpose: catharsis, deeper insight, psychodynamics and defence mechanisms
- Beyond the knowledge: mediation, therapeutic partnering, the corrective emotional experience, expert advice, counselling and core values.

- The students are well-grounded in the rudiments of psychodiagnostics (1AP: From a cry for help through to the intervention: psychodiagnostics 1)
