Systemic curriculum under construction
What will the course look like?

It will be 60 academic credits delivered at a postgraduate level

Broadly based and based on evidence based interventions

Will also contain specialist modules especially for Eating Disorder and Self
Harm and Depression

Will contain a supervised practice element

Can determine what goes into the curriculum

Its structure

Admission criteria

How clinical practice is managed

How it is assessed

Can also feed into supervision and leadership training curricula
So Far

The group has looked at the current curriculum for CBT and parent training

Looked at a range of training manuals

Taken into account the work on competencies previously developed
Some Preliminary Decisions

Will use the SHIFT manual developed by Paula Boston and Ivan Eisler for the
SHIFT project (self harm) as a basis

Will contain supervised practice with qualified supervisors

Will be at a postgraduate level
Decisions to be made

Number of specialist modules

Entry criteria

Curriculum content
Next steps

Further looking at other manualised approaches eg for depression and
attachment based interventions to see if anything needs to be included

Small group meeting next week for a day to write preliminary draft

Nest meeting in the New Year.
My take on implications for the field

It is brilliant that so many people will get training in systemic work with families

It will not lead to more Family Therapy Posts

There will be a demand for qualified supervisors

Current Foundation Courses may suffer from reduction in numbers in some areas

May be demand for higher level training

More members of AFT?

Revision of our training standards has to fit so that the IAPT training can be used as a foundation level
training – very timely!

Supervision training needs to take account of the likely responsibilities for supervisors.
