Dear Colleagues, Please find below details of a number of training programmes currently recruiting at the Tavistock and Portman - Britain's leading provider of multidisciplinary postgraduate training in mental health and social care. Working with Groups This course aims to develop an understanding of group dynamics and how groups work; what makes groups function effectively and what may 'get in the way', and how to apply these ideas to your work. Gain a grounding in psychoanalytic and systemic approaches applied to groups. Achieve a greater self-awareness and understanding of the roles you take up in groups, and how you contribute to group functioning. Develop more effective skills as a group leader, manager, facilitator or member. It has been developed to help those involved in working with groups to function more effectively as group leaders, managers and therapists, in response to the increasing amount of work being carried out in (and with) groups and the relative lack of formal training in groupwork. Therapeutic Communication with Children This multidisciplinary course will enhance your communication with children and their families. It is practice-based, and you will learn basic aspects of therapeutic communication. This course is for professionals from a wide range of disciplines, including social work, education, psychology and related fields. Early Years Development and Infant Mental Health A part-time, two-year course for professionals working with infants, children under five or their families, in health or 'children, schools and families' settings. It offers an experiential and theoretical approach to understanding children's emotional, social and cognitive development. Advanced Award/Professional Doctorate in Social Work Gain an advanced, specialised training in social work practice, management and/or education Emotional Factors in Learning and Teaching: Counselling Aspects in Education This course provides a strong basis for both understanding and dealing with challenging students of all ages. Its high-calibre staff bring their knowledge of the world of education and their clinical and theoretical expertise to their teaching. The course equips teachers and other education staff to deal with difficult situations in the classroom, within their organisation and multi-agency networks. Risk: A Relational Perspective - Psychodynamic Approaches to Assessing and Managing Risk This course offers an innovative framework for understanding the complex and subtle issues involved in assessing and managing risk of violence and sexual offending. Traditional approaches to risk assessment are useful in identifying groups of individuals who pose a high risk, but such approaches can be rather blunt when formulating the risk profile for a particular individual. Consequently, the field of risk assessment is moving from a reliance on actuarial instruments and risk prediction, to one of risk formulation. Working with People with Eating Disorders This course is designed for experienced professionals working with patients with eating disorders or feeding difficulties in a variety of settings. The approach adopted is based on the thoughtful application of psychoanalytic principles and ideas. Students are expected to be working with one or more of the models suggested in NICE guidelines. Psychodynamic Approaches to Working with Adolescents Adolescents pose a challenge to all who work with them. Frontline professionals working with adolescents will find this course a useful learning experience in managing complex cases. This multidisciplinary course provides a detailed psychodynamic introduction to the understanding of the psychosocial development, problems and disturbances of adolescence. The interaction between biological, psychological and social factors is highlighted as contributing to mental health and disorders. Working in the Young People's Consultation Service (YPCS) Help to develop your understanding of the difficulties of adolescence and young adulthood, increase your skills in working with the 16 - 30 age group and learn about working within a psychoanalytically-informed brief work model. Family Therapy and Systemic Supervision This course is designed for qualified systemic family psychotherapists to train as systemic supervisors. Supervision: A Psychological Approach The BPS quality standards for psychology services make clear the increasing importance that is attached to supervision. This course has been developed in the context of the BPS requirements on educational psychology services to provide supervision, and also the move to three year training. Strategic Leadership and Management This programme has a different orientation to other management qualifications (such as an MBA), particularly in the experiential nature of the course and its focus on group relations and the observation of organisations. This course is designed for leaders and managers in social services, health services, education services and voluntary sector projects. Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Well-being: Multidisciplinary Practice This course provides a standalone year introducing fundamental aspects of child, adolescent and family mental health. It can also be taken as the first year of one of four MA pathways. This new innovative multimodal and multidisciplinary programme of study is for counsellors, practitioners and managers working with children, young people and families. The course provides understanding of essential issues in therapeutic work with children young people and families such as the latest developmental theory and research in childhood and family development, key presenting issues and evidence based practice in relation to these and key therapeutic concepts. Understanding Trauma: Principles and Practice This one-year, part-time course is for professionals working with people coming for help following experiences of trauma. This includes presentations of PTSD, single episodes of trauma, multiple or chronic trauma, complex trauma, and childhood trauma.
