Enrolment restriction(s): Not for students who have completed PSY402.
This subject provides the theoretical and practice skills base necessary for genetic counsellors. It covers the major counselling theories, ethics, skills and strategies compatible with major theoretical frameworks. It covers counselling techniques relevant to working with children, couples and families, people with disabilities, or from diverse cultural and ethnic groups. It also identifies the special requirements for working with people at different stages of the life cycle. As such it forms the theoretical and practice skills foundation for students who will specialise in genetic counselling.
