This is material developed toward a competency based training and supervisory package for interns.
Clinical Teaching
These are courses I taught in Personality Theory and Systems of Psychotherapy. My goal in these classes was to invite the students to learn about the material, but also themselves. (see pre post questionnaire on Which personality theory would you like to be true; which do you believe to be true; which do you hope is true?)
At the start of class 11 of 14 (78%) said what they would like to be true and what they believed to be true were the same. At the end of class, for thirteen (28%) said what they would like to be true and what they believed to be true were the same. A substantial shift from 78% to 28%. (see the Personality Theory Attitude Questionnaire)
I also tried to explore the comparisons and contrasts between theories and therapeutic system, to examine the research literature and invite each student to seek to evolve their own approach, based on their temperament, the research literature, and match that to the client’s goals, personality style, and style.
Rereading these syllabi, the general format and principles still seem helpful. However, I do apologize for the use of “man” – (e.g Freudian View of Man ,etc.) which should now read “human.” As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
