This unit builds on those of the Graduate Certificate to extend and integrate supervisory knowledge and practice. Skills and strategies are developed for use in differing and complex contexts. Advanced theoretical and practical sessions, case studies, ‘fishbowl’ videos, scenarios, and practice in small groups of both individual and group supervision, will support the exploration of more challenging supervisory situations. A range of advanced techniques will become familiar including further theoretical input and practice in the psychodynamics of transference, counter-transference and resistance. Regular journaling will support theological reflection. This unit includes 3 hours individual supervision on supervision of the student by a supervisor trainer.
