Title: | A discussion of international, national, discipline and institution contextual factors that impact on the design /redesign of a Post Graduate Social Work Programme in Ireland | Authors: | O'Brien, Valerie | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/3013 | Date: | 2009 | Online since: | 2011-07-12T14:07:25Z | Abstract: | The purpose of the paper is to examine what international, national and institutional influences need to be considered in appraising the need and design of a post-qualifying training in therapeutic or counselling social work. It is my view that such a programme could augment both the existing social work counselling skill base and could provide a mechanism whereby social workers identity and work opportunities in the therapeutic and counselling roles would be enhanced. This paper will examine the feasibility of the programme and the issues/ influences that need to be considered in the design of the curriculum. | Funding Details: | Not applicable | Type of material: | Working Paper | Publisher: | University College Dublin.
