5 ects. Supervision Seminar on Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Part I (B-KUL-P0P06a)
Content
The students each do at least two psychotherapy sessions under supervision.
In groups of three students these psychotherapy sessions are supervised. In this way an intensive supervision is possible and the students also learn from each other's clinical material.
This course is continued in an identical way in the following years. This allows for a following of the therapeutical process. The experience of long-term guidance and process is necessary for this form of therapy.
In consultation (also with the client) the student can be asked to integrally type out the therapy sessions or provide an audio or video recording.
Course material
On the proposal of the student, fellow students or supervisor texts can be read ad hoc from chapters or relevant articles from therapy magazines.
Format: more information
Together with the student all steps of the psychotherapeutical process and the experiences of the candidate therapist are followed elaborately:
Assessment, therapeutical framework and agreements, the basic rule, therapeutical attitude, psychic reality, the various processes depending on psychopathology, transference and countertransference, resistance, dreams, regression, interpretation, continuing working, ending of a psychotherapy, drop out, acting and frequence are discussed and adjusted from the experience of the autonomously functioning of the candidate therapist.
Evaluation
Evaluation: Supervision Seminar on Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Part I (B-KUL-P2P06a)
Explanation
The grading scale of this course unit is pass/fail.
- Evaluation form:
Because of the weekly nature of the supervision, the supervisor is able to closely follow and evaluate the evolution of the student. In this way feedback can be given constantly. In case the evolution or participation is considered insufficient this is immediately communicated to the student and the programme manager so that this can be adjusted quickly. - Conditions:
Attendance is 100% compulsory for this course. Possibly the student can be asked, in consultation with the supervisor and programme manager, to follow a number of alternative individual supervisions at his/her own expense. In case of too frequent absence (guidline maximun 10 supervisions) this course can be considered not taken.
