Course summary
Examine the impact of being abusive or being abused. You will look at theoretical perspectives considering abusiveness and its impact in different international, cultural and social contexts.This MA Understanding Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse is unique and represents the first psychologically informed programme of its kind.It is particularly suitable for people wanting to increase their grasp of the interplay between mental distress, domestic violence and sexual abuse.Your learning will be underpinned by a unique synthesising of psychodynamic, systemic, cognitive behavioural and social theories to examine the impact of being abusive or of being abused. The programme focuses on looking at practice and research from these theoretical perspectives and will consider abusiveness and its impact in different cultural and social contexts from childhood to older age.The learning will be provided by a cross-disciplinary team that covers approaches from the social work, community and youth work, cross-sectoral arts, and therapeutic approaches including art and dance psychotherapy, psychodynamic, counselling and cognitive behavioural approaches. The programme will offer a blended learning approach with a mixture of online and face-to-face contact. The online components will be largely focused on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge through computer-mediated activities via the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).The classroom-based content of the programme will have an emphasis on experiential and reflective learning, which will help you understand the process of identifying, assessing and managing both perpetrators and victims. This aspect of the programme will be delivered in blocks (including some Saturdays) to make the study more accessible to working adults.You may take individual modules separately (see below) or exit with a Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma.
