Aims
Aims:
To examine the concept of 'mind' in relation to various theoretical paradigms and gain an insight and understanding of how our conceptualisations of mind consciousness and 'self' affect our experience and our interaction with others.
To encourage students to consider the theoretical underpinning of their own world- views and those of others.
To introduce the students to abnormal personality disorders and how this relates to the mind body debate.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Outline and discuss a range of theories of consciousness by relating to abnormal personality disorders
2.
Evaluate research findings on consciousness and state what these suggest in relation to the theories.
3.
Evaluate the impact of theories of consciousness on counselling practice
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module seeks to make students aware of the function of the brain and scientific explanations regarding consciousness comparing and contrasting these ideas with philosophical views both ancient and modern.
By examining abnormal personality disorders, a discussion and application of knowledge can be extrapolated to real world issues in counselling and mental health services
Students will develop an awareness of the methodologies involved and how the study of this topic is central to the very nature of who we are and how we think feel speak and behave. The theoretical ideas discussed here are examined in terms of their practical applications and to what extent these lead to therapeutic success.
