| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||
This course aims to critically examine how selected counselling theories and therapy models are being used by practitioners in the context of exploring the positivist epistemology of counselling practice as revealed in the connection between theories and practice, and to present a postmodern epistemology as an alternative paradigm that conceptualizes counselling as a “conversational art” and skilled performance in counselling as opening up a conversational space for a client-counsellor dyad to co-construct a kinder reality for the client. | ||||||||
