This is a four-hour training session where participants will have the opportunity to learn systemic ideas within the context of observing a couple session with Couple and Family Therapist Jacqueline McDiarmid.
The live session will be preceded by an introduction to systemic ideas from Post-Milan theory.
Extremely interesting, thought provoking and engaging. The ability to observe this couple in relation to their genogram and have all of the background knowledge to try and hypothesize is very valuable and worthwhile.
Liz – JNI student
First time seeing a “live” couple session. Very enlightening and made even richer by the accompanying group discussion.
I would recommend this session for anyone who is interested in couple therapy.
Andrea Croft – Psychologist
Reinforced systemic thinking and it was truly valuable to observe someone else counselling. A worthwhile, important method of learning – I did not have enough of this style in my masters.
Cathy Clancy – Counsellor
The session was very insightful in that I became aware of my own issues and how I need to be able to put them aside. Also great to observe how an expert runs a session and how to be relaxed with people.
Kerryn Amor – Social worker
The experience was one of a kind – thank you so very much.
Alex Weber – Psychologist
