| Purpose: A psychological intervention is a human interaction informed and governed by some understanding of the nature of human beings. This module offers an introduction to psychological intervention based on historical and multicultural perspectives of the nature of human beings and practices of human interaction. As such the module intends to equip qualifying students with knowledge of psychological intervention within historical, cultural and subject specific contexts. Students are introduced to selected African, Eastern and Western modalities of psychological intervention to foreground different manifestations of agents of intervention, the roles of agents of intervention and the official structures and processes that formulise and licence particular actions as legitimate forms of intervention. Also of interest are the principles and frameworks that render interventions ethical in different contexts. |
