Talking sticks and BMW's: ritual, power and authority in a psychotherapy training placementJansen, Shahieda 01 January 2002 (has links)
This study explores trainees' experiences of power dynamics within a
ritualised training context, with reference to the three major aspects of the study:
training, ritual and power. The psychotherapeutic training took place at Agape, a
community-based counselling service in Mamelodi, whose theoretical approach to
training included a mixture of postmodern, ecosystemic and African traditions. A
substantial literature survey examines the major concepts and issues related to the
research subject, such as psychotherapeutic training approaches, the philosophies and
theories that may inform training procedures, ritual practices in psychotherapy, and
organisational and power aspects of psychotherapeutic training. The research process
was executed using the qualitative, interpretive research methodology. A sample of
six of the trainees who had completed their training at this placement was
interviewed, and two of the trainers. The researcher's reflections on her own training
experiences are woven into the material. Using the interview technique and through
asking a series of open-ended questions, the researcher obtained an account of the
subjective, sacralised training interactions at Agape. Themes were identified that had
emerged during the interview process. In brief, the themes referred to trainees'
theoretical and practical experiences in the training placement, how they made sense
of the sacralised therapeutic experiences, and comments on their relationship with
trainers and fellow trainees. The most common theme that emerged was that of
power. The end product of this study portrays the trainees' understandings of power
within a sacralised psychotherapeutic context and their responses to this. This study
makes explicit the links between ritualisation and power within an evaluative
psychotherapeutic training context, and the consequences of this for training. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Status of compliance of Mamelodi ECD centres to the city of Tshwane ECD funding strategy: a social work perspectiveGatsheni, Nomaefese 09 1900 (has links)
Early childhood development centres play a major role in supporting the development of children from zero to six years. For sustainability and strengthening ECD Centres funding is provided by government departments, municipalities and the private sector. The City of Tshwane is funding a number of ECD centres in Mamelodi. The CoT has clear guidelines, policies and procedures outlined in the funding strategy. The challenge faced by the CoT is the compliance and accountability of the funded ECD centres.
Utilizing the qualitative approach, this study communicates the challenges faced by the eight Mamelodi ECD centres in keeping to the allocated line items outlined by the CoT funding strategy. The study describes the status of compliance of these centres. It further outlines the CoT funding processes, the ECD managers’ understanding, concerns and reasons behind the lack of compliance. Based on the findings, the study makes recommendations for practice, policy and further research studies. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work)
