Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy

Course Structure

The course is designed to be completed in two years. It takes place on one full day per week over three ten-week terms per year.

Each daily session comprises:

  • Training supervision
  • Group practice/experiential work
  • Lecture/seminar
  • Personal and professional development group

Syllabus

The course contains two strands of further training and development as part of the integrative perspective: the psychodynamic and the experiential/humanistic. The course explores the tensions and convergences between these in different ways.

  • Term 1 - Issues in Professional Practice
  • Term 2 - Systemic and Psychosexual Therapy
  • Term 3 - Gestalt Therapy and Focusing
  • Term 4 - Critical Psychopathology
  • Term 5 - Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy
  • Term 6 - Jungian and Transpersonal Therapy

The course will emphasise experiential practice and training supervision using video- and audio-taping equipment, and the developmental and integrative arena of the personal and professional group experience.

The course team will include psychodynamic, experiential and integrative tutors and training supervisors. Some of the core team will adopt different roles through the duration of the course, including supervision, lecturing and facilitating the PPD group.

Supervisors will be allocated for blocks of two terms; after the first two terms, trainees will have the opportunity to select either psychodynamic or experiential supervision.
