Russian and Soviet Cinema: Innovation and Experiment (SERS0045)

The films covered in this module belong to the experimental tradition in twentieth century Russian and Soviet cinema. These works rejected the mainstream cinematic conventions of the day and sought to subvert them and explore new means of visual expression. Students will be expected to engage with a range of theoretical texts where relevant. There will be accompanying lectures which discuss technical and aesthetic developments in cinema generally from the beginnings of cinema to the present day. The chronological period covered by this course ranges from the pre-revolutionary silent period through to the early 2000s. The module is divided into four parts, each part covering a period of five weeks, with four films studied in each part along with one accompanying lecture. You are given detailed background information on each film (the lecture notes on Moodle) which raises points of discussion for the tutorial hour. Russian is not a prerequisite for this module because the films selected, with one exception, exist with English subtitles. Please note that this module is assessed by coursework assignment only, and that therefore prior experience of discussing/analysing film in written form will be to your advantage.

CBT for adults with eating disorders: implementation (PSYC0277)

The module will provide students with a strong foundation in the implementation of evidence based cognitive behavioural therapy for eating disorders. Students will be expected to draw on core theoretical concepts and models as well as incorporating current research and innovative developments in clinical practice. The module will include specific applications and adaptations of CBT-ED for particular client groups or settings (e.g. delivering CBT-ED online, working individuals with autism). Skills-based competencies will be developed through small group experiential work and role-plays in workshops, linked to group supervision by programme members and individual/group supervision in the place of work. Self-directed study will include general reading for each programme and preparatory reading for each session. Web based resources will allow students to study examples of clinical therapy sessions and clinical demonstrations of specific techniques.
