Counselling Theories and Methods

The aim of the course is to promote knowledge about central theories in counselling, based on existential-humanistic, cognitive-behavioural and psycho-dynamic perspectives. The focus will be on an individually based counselling perspective with group and environmental variables as background. Teaching is both theoretical and practical.

This course will give students an introduction to and reflection on basic counselling perspectives. It will enable students to understand the range of possible perspectives and to clarify their own theoretical and methodological stance, preferences and developmental goals.

Form of assessment: 6-hour individual written exam.
