Learning unit contents
The course "Méthodes d'action systémique - partim 2" aims to put into practice the systemic concepts, models, and intervention tools taught in the "Méthodes d'actions systémique Partim 1 (PSYC5924)" course. The course will focus on the concrete application of the main basic concepts of clinical interviewing, relational diagnosis, redefinition, and action methods according to a systemic approach.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to conduct systemic clinical interviews with individuals, couples, and families. Through the work undertaken in sessions, they will be guided to analyze their intervention methods and develop a critical perspective on the appropriateness of their practical choices in relation to clinical utility. They will practice adopting an appropriate professional stance and strengthen their understanding of systemic clinical intervention concepts.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of systemic psychology is fundamental to attend the course and fully benefit from it.
It is also mandatory to have taken the course "Méthodes d'action systémique Partim 1 (PSYC5924)".
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Depending on the number of students enrolled, the course will be organised into several modules divided into two parts.
Part One: Complex Family Transitions
Several modules will explore the systemic issues associated with complex family transitions, (including grief and loss, separation and divorce, etc). They will enable students to analyse how these transitions affect couple and family dynamics and to reflect on appropriate approaches to clinical support.
Part Two: Practice Through Role-Play
Several practical modules will focus on applying systemic methods. Students will work through the different stages of a family therapy process by participating in group role-plays, in which they will take on the roles of the therapist and various family members.
Each role-play will subsequently be analysed in depth by the whole group under the supervision of the teaching staff. This work will aim to:
- analyse the interactions and relational processes observed;
- develop systemic hypotheses;
- identify and examine the intervention methods used;
- integrate theoretical knowledge, lived experience and clinical practice;
- develop a reflective and critical perspective on the clinical practices presented, as well as on one's own clinical stance.
