Designed as an advanced level
course for those interested in studying towards a career at a more
senior level within counselling and psychology, or perhaps work as a
consultant for the private and local authority sector. Drawing on a wide range of resources and contributors,
the course is intended to suit students whom already have some background
knowledge in this field, either from self interest, employment in a
related area, or previous study. Students on the course also receive one
years' free practitioner's membership of the International Association of
Independent Therapists and Practitioners (www.iaitp.co.uk).
HDPP1 is a fascinating course,
giving students the opportunity to gain a comprehensive and professional
insight into the development of behaviour, behavioural disorders,
different models of psychology and their therapeutic response. The course
examines the psychology of the human mind in great depth, using various
theories to explain our behaviour, and how events and experiences can
shape the type of adults we later become. A number of popular therapies
are examined in detail and students are encouraged to draw on different
aspects of these in order to develop their own style of therapeutic
response. Details of the topics which are covered within the course
