Course objectives
The course is conceived in order to give basic orientation of students in the system of consultancy. The aim of the course is to transfer theoretical findings of current possibilities of consultancy regarding both organizational aspect and aspect of possible approaches to client. It presents the fundamental principles of theoretical approaches to students in individual case work (e.g. psychoanalysis, systemic approach), as well as in family therapy and work with a group, in particular in connection with various minority groups and their members. It approximates the fundamental aspects of work with clients in helping profession through the first contact with the client, anamnesis, diagnostics, intervention till termination of consultancy work, the attention is paid to issue of crisis intervention as well. It presents also various institutions which offer consultancy. The lecture topics are followed by experience exercises in tutorials in which the principal skills necessary for social work are developed. In the tutorials, the practical skills necessary in contact with client, especially dialogue leading, ability of reflection of non-verbal communication of one´s own and client´s will be developed. We will use knowledge from lectures regarding suitable usage of questions. The feedback of successful training of students is secured by usage of video camera as well. In the tutorials, the students will be assigned partial control tasks - e.g. composition of family map, preparation of dialogue with client etc. Gained knowledge is interlinked with other subjects in Psychology and consultancy block and will be exploited complexly especially in Social work block (mainly in course Theory and Methods of Social Work and specialised practice).
