Learning unit contents

This course focuses on cross-disciplinary notions and tools.

The following themes will be addressed by the teacher:

  • Framework and operation
  • Grief and death
  • Suicide: identifying and preventing
  • Relational responses
  • Self-care
Other themes may be addressed (or revisited) based on students' questions. Here are a few examples: non-verbal, dreams, gender issues, non-demand and coerced help, clinical psychology groups, modeling tools, psychic reality, etc. These themes will be approached on the principle of peer learning. The students themselves, supervised by the teaching team during on-call sessions, will give classes on the themes they choose.

Course preparation by students is optional and voluntary. It may be credited with 2 bonus points towards the exam mark (see "Assessment methods and criteria").

Here are a number of references that serve as a basis for the course given by the teacher, and which may enable students to develop themes.
