This subject provides students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge, and ability to utilise a specified range of psychosocial therapeutic interventions in mental health care. These interventions include a comprehensive exploration of family therapy, group therapy, psychotherapy and psycho-education. This subject also provides students with the opportunity to examine and analyse the theoretical bases for interdisciplinary mental health care, and the opportunity to explore their own theoretical bases of practice. An holistic examination and analysis of care necessarily embraces the biological, psychological, sociological, cultural and spiritual domains, including consumer participation approaches and collaborations with the family and community. Philosophical and ethical considerations are examined.
