COU202 focuses on the four classical counselling approaches namely, Psychoanalytic, Person-Centred, Behaviour and Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy approaches. This course will explain the main concepts, therapeutic goals, processes and techniques that pertain to the abovementioned four classical counselling approaches, with an emphasis on the Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy approach. It is the aim of this course to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills of these four classical counselling approaches, and to help them apply these knowledge and skills in case formulation and intervention planning. The latter will be employed in hypothetical case scenarios, and in actual cases during the students' practicum attachment later in their degree programme.
