Course description
This course is designed to develop advanced therapeutic skills in art therapy and psychotherapy fields of study. The focus is on skills needed to manage complex clinical situations related to the treatment of severe mental health conditions (personality disorders, complex PTSD, psychosis, addictions, psychosomatic, etc.), such as lack of engagement, impasses in therapeutic relationship, decompensations or deterioration in mental state, and self-harm risk. The course will also address advanced skills needed to effectively support non-traditional populations, such as LGBTIQ, refugees and disabled. The course mainly focuses on the development of skills, but also includes critical revision of key knowledge that underpins the practice in the aforementioned subjects.
