This subject will provide students with a simulated placement opportunity for extended observation of and participation in a creative arts therapies program as practiced by a qualified professional.
Students will learn to integrate relevant psychological and behavioural theory into a particular practice context in response to the needs of people in that context. They will learn how to consider ethical issues and practice ethically, with particular reference to standards of practice. They will also develop an understanding of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary teams and be able to understand their own role in different professional contexts.
Additionally, students will develop self-awareness about their own reactions to the people and systemic barriers and enablers encountered in that context. They will receive feedback on their professional attitudes and capacities as demonstrated in context.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- identify and analyse relevant theories for specific contexts in professional practice;
- discuss and debate appropriate ethical standards of practice;
- identify and appraise the principles and values of team work in different contexts;
- construct a descriptive case report based on observation of a creative arts therapy program using recommended guidelines;
- recognise personal responses to events that occur in practice.
