Interpersonal Skills 2
In this module, you’ll continue to explore conceptual and empirical findings from social psychology – but focusing specifically on those relating to interpersonal and group processes. The aim is to combine knowledge of psychology with insights into relationships between people, drawn from counselling and psychotherapy. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on personal, real life interactions to examine habitual patterns of behaviour.
What does the module cover?
Become proficient in the individual-group system: membership, roles, personhood, and identity. Learn the processes involved in negotiating and sustaining boundaries. Become familiar with basic principles underling group-work therapy. Develop critical thinking in analysing the role of groups in shaping our personal and social being. Learn the importance of identifying the nature and management of anxiety. Gain practical skills to organise and integrate knowledge from psychology and counselling pertinent to group relations.
