Graduate Certificate in Group Analytic Studies (XA24)
OPEN EVENINGS
The Graduate Certificate in Group Analytic Studies is a one-year stand-alone course with a dual purpose. This course is the entry point for the Professional MSc in Group Analytic Psychotherapy.
On successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Group Analytic Studies, trainees can apply for the Professional Masters in Group Analytic Psychotherapy, with the potential to exit after two years with a Masters in Applied Group Analytic Studies.
This course attracts people who are interested in deepening their understanding of unconscious group dynamics in both personal and professional settings.
Through participation in work discussion groups, case study seminars, theory discussion groups, large group and personal therapy groups, trainees have an opportunity to reflect on group interactions, relationships, and leadership phenomena.
The course can offer new understandings to leaders, teams and organisational development experts by applying group analytic concepts to analysis of unconscious processes in organisations and groups.
Trainees will also explore their own style of relating within a group. In short, the course provides training in the here-and-now to observe and understand our own and others’ experiences in group.
