Course description

This course is designed to enable students to implement knowledge and skills developed during specialist family therapy knowledge and skill courses. Students undertake 200 hours of family therapy practice, of which a minimum of 50 takes the form of provision of family therapy to clients. Students are expected to consult closely with the practicum supervisor regarding assessment, treatment plans and implementation of treatment. Other activities appropriate for this course include observation of the practice of more experienced family therapists, participation in individual or group supervision or other clinical case discussions and record keeping. Students receive a minimum of 15 hours of clinical supervision from an approved supervisor and, in addition, participate in a weekly supervision group provided by the university. The full 200 hours or some proportion thereof may be undertaken in the student's own workplace, subject to access to appropriate practicum experience and suitable supervision arrangements.
