Post Qualifying MA in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy

Back to Programmes We Offer

This is an opportunity to review and renew your practice through a humanistic research programme that encourages individual creativity through awareness of process. The course is for a small group of Graduates who will work towards producing a research paper of 15,000 words leading to the award of MA from Middlesex University.

Course dates: April 2010 to November 2011.
The course will consist of 7 taught days (Fridays) and 6 individual tutorials.

Course Content

You don't necessarily need to have already worked out an area of study to apply for this programme as initially the work of the course is to help you find a “research question”. Something you want to know more about; a puzzle to you; an area you want to spend some time with; a subject you already feel passionate about. Your area of study might be a further exploration of your original dissertation subject or a different area entirely - this is to be discovered.

To help you do this there will be an introductory day to orientate everyone to the course and start building a learning community. This will be followed by a two day module on qualitative research methodology exploring various approaches to research including Humanistic, Imaginal and Heuristic methods. There will then be four course days devoted to helping you apply these methods to your chosen area of study. In addition there are six individual tutorials that are designed to give you detailed support with your writing (these are intended as a minimum and further support is available if needed).

If you are interested in applying please visit the How to Apply section where you can download an application form.
