The School of Human Ecology (SHE) was established in 2015. However, from 2009 onwards, the School in its earlier avatar as the

Centre for Human Ecology has successfully developed and anchored the MA in Counselling programme, which evolved into the MA Applied Psychology programmes currently being offered by SHE. SHE anchors two MA Programmes: The MA Applied Psychology- Specialization in Counselling Psychology, and the MA Applied Psychology- Specialization in clinical Psychology. Additionally, from 2017, the School has begun to offer MPhil in Applied Psychology, as a practice based MPhil programme. The MA Applied Psychology- Specialization in Counselling Psychology developed out of the previously existing MA in Counselling programme, while the MA Applied Psychology- Specialization in Clinical Psychology was developed in 2013 to address the need to work with clinical populations. The programmes have been

developed in response to the need to equip counsellors and clinicians with adequate skills to deal with the mental health crisis in the country. The School is uniquely positioned with expertise in the areas of Applied Psychology and Human Development for the training and development of skilled professionals to work with individual adults, children, families and communities on aspects of wellbeing and quality of life. The M.A. Applied Psychology programmes offered by the SHE emphasise the amalgam of theory and reflective field practice to develop human service practitioners who have the knowledge, skills and social sensitivity to work with a range of populations and issues. Apart from the classroom teaching, there is extensive use of fieldwork to enhance the holistic development of students. Supervision and monitoring of fieldwork by faculty and fieldwork supervisors ensures that field-level learning is integrated with current research in the field as well as with classroom inputs. Training at the SHE requires all students to develop

sensitivity in working with diverse populations. Much of the training comes from the fact that SHE is part of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, which is a

premier academic institution that has developed innovative teaching programmes, cutting edge research projects and programmes, rooted in the socio-cultural reality. There have been continuous attempts to improve the standards and quality of the programmes being offered, both for regular students, and for specific partners, as per requirement. A USP of the various TISS programmes is that there is connect and responsiveness between what the environment requires, and what the Institute can provide. Many of the faculty teaching the MA Applied Psychology programmes come from the background

of being practicing psychotherapists, counsellors and clinical psychologists. This

allows the meaningful interface of practice with theory for students. Both the M.A.

in Applied Psychology programmes prepare professionals to work

with distinct populations. While training in Counselling serves an important service in the area of mental health, there is demand for trained professionals in clinical psychology as well. While counselling deals with “normal” problems of life,

training in clinical psychology is necessary to deal with patients

suffering from more severe or chronic psychological problems,

including mental health disorders as defined by DSM and ICD criteria.

From 2011 to 2016, there have been 320 students who have successfully completed the two-year degree programme. Both the MA Applied Psychology programmes have been received well by the academic and the student community. Students who have graduated from the programmes have been working in the field of counselling and mental health. About 80% of the graduates are currently employed in the field, another 15% are pursuing higher education. Students have been employed in schools, hospitals, counselling centres, Field action projects (FAPs) of TISS, and non-governmental and community based organizations working with children and families.

Dr. Sujata Sriram Professor and Dean, School of Human Ecology, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

THE COURSES OFFERED (and their structure)


F A c u l t y b y t e s

At the centre of psychotherapy and counselling practice lies the theoretical model or approach

of practice that the counsellor or therapist adopts to guide their work and ensure positive outcome for clients. To help students develop a therapeutic approach to their counseling and psychotherapy practice the M.A. Programs in Applied Psychology include three courses on ‘Theories and techniques in psychotherapy and counselling’ for a total of eight credits that are spread over the first three semesters.

Over the three semesters, they cover major schools of psychotherapy and counseling ranging from the traditional models through the contemporary approaches that begin to integrate the impact of socio-cultural realities and incorporate creative and expressive methods. The courses help students learn to conceptualize client concerns, create intervention plans, and develop therapeutic skills and techniques to manage a range of client concerns. There is a focus on evidence based psychotherapy models and their application with individuals, couples and families, across a range of psychological disorders, taking

into account the influence of contextual factors. The courses are designed and delivered in a

manner to cortically engage students with the theoretical principles and philosophical ideas

underlying different theoretical models of psychotherapy, the research related

to the same and their application to different client concerns and client groups. The faculty employs innovative techniques for assessment of student work in order to encourage

and reward holistic learning. Using assignments, case discussions, class

exercises, and journal writing allows students to seamlessly integrate theory,

research, self - reflection and practice. On completion of these courses, students

have an advanced knowledge of the theories and techniques of major psychotherapy approaches and are able to formulate an initial personal theory of counseling from which to build as they transition into professional practice.

Dr. Chetna Duggal Assistant Professor, School of Human Ecology, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

The Psychopathology course is offered exclusively to M.A. Applied Psychology

- Clinical Specialization students, and stretches over the first three semesters. The objectives of this course include: (i) understanding the concepts of normality and abnormality, (ii) learning to recognize and elicit psychiatric signs and symptoms through observation and history-taking, (iii) learning the diagnostic criteria for different mental disorders and the skills to differentially diagnose between them, and (iv) understanding

various etiological theories of mental disorders and applying them in the formulation of treatment

plans. The students are trained to use the internationally accepted DSM V and ICD

10 coding systems, and they practice the skills they learn in the course in their respective field work settings as part of their practical training.

Dr. Danielle PereiraAssistant Professor,

School of Human Ecology, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

Theories and Techniques in Counselling and Psychotherapy

Psychopathology



Recognition of the importance of understanding various perspectives with which reality may

be viewed and methods of doing research was an overall aim of the curriculum for the Master’s Programme. Such a stance emerges from the need of strengthening psychological theory and practice linkage. Understanding varied perspectives or paradigms with which we see reality helps build sensitivity to the issues of subjectivity, inter-subjectivity, power play in research endeavors (the researcher, generally the more educated and belonging to a privileged class and caste and greater access to resources in society) and sensitivity to perspectives of reality as a co-construction of the researcher and the researched or co-constructions of the community of social scientists or researchers, etc. Currently, such aims have been built into the foundation of the courses of the Masters’ Programme of Applied Psychology.

Such a philosophy for research was converted into a curriculum that includes quantitative (inferential analyses in research), qualitative (giving voices to peoples’ perspectives and feelings) and mixed-methodology (for inculcating participative research that could feed into programs and policies).

Furthermore, the research component has both theoretical inputs along with hands-on exercises to convert theory into practice skills. The course work in

Research Methods takes care of this. The endeavor is complete only when the

students engage with a research of their own, submit a thesis and defend

themselves in viva-voce. Research implicitly has the skills of thinking logically, both deductive and inductive reasoning and, being precise, methodical and writing in a concise

way the writings of others and that of oneself. All these skills are emphasized

through the research course work and the research project that all students of Master’s in

Applied Psychology have to take.Students’ work has been appreciated by external

examiners and also by other faculty within the Institute who judge the best thesis for MA Applied Psychology course. We have arrived full circle with the research process in terms of national and international presentations and publications of students and faculty of this endeavor.

Dr. Rajani M. KonantambigiProfessor, School of Human Ecology,Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

Psychological assessments help psychologists gain a comprehensive understanding of

an individual’s strengths and concerns in domains such as intelligence, aptitude, personality and interpersonal relationships. This course aims to equip students with the ability to identify the need for assessment, select an appropriate assessment tool for a certain domain, carry out the administration and scoring of a test using standardised procedures, interpret the findings meaningfully and incorporate these in the counselling process. In addition to learning about the different types of tests for children and adult individuals as well as groups,

students are also encouraged to critically appraise debates related to the empirical validity of

projective tests, graphology, physiognomy and body language in assessing a

person. Further, as part of the course, students also learn the characteristics of a standardised psychometric assessment tool, the process of test construction as well as ethics and

good practices of psychological testing.

Dr. Shalini Anant Assistant Professor,

School of Human Ecology,Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

Research Component for MA Applied Psychology

Psychological Assessments



The Psychopathology courses are distributed across three semesters and are unique to the

Clinical Psychology program. Students are taught the DSM -V in a comprehensive manner which covers theories, understanding the nomenclature, and psychotherapy for various presentations, especially seen in the Indian culture. Along with this course the Psychological Assessment course is taught across two semesters. These two courses have a parallel field work component for which students are placed in Psychiatry departments of hospitals in Mumbai. Here, they observe case histories, interact with clients and family members, conduct cognitive and personality assessments, and also conduct individual and group psychotherapy sessions. The field work is supervised by faculty and trained field work supervisors.

Prevention of mental illness, promoting overall mental health, and reaching out to communities is now gaining momentum in the field of clinical psychology.

The final semester for the students includes a course on Community Psychology and a parallel field work placement in non-clinical settings such as schools,

NGOs, and residential facilities that cater to children with special needs, children in conflict with

the law, addiction related issues, geriatric concerns, violence against women,

and family counselling. This exposure provides them the skills to work with a wider population with various needs.

Field work reports and weekly supervision sessions ensure student

learning and evaluation during the course work. Overall, the course

prepares students to work in the field of psychology with a much broader lens of

understanding mental illness and using culturally appropriate techniques to deal with such issues in a variety of settings.

Dr. Amrita Joshi, Assistant Professor, School of Human Ecology, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

In the third and fourth semester, the Masters in Applied Psychology - Specialization in Counselling

Psychology students who choose to work with children are offered the course - Counselling Children, Adolescents and Parents in School and other Settings. This course provides in-depth inputs for working with children and has two important parts to it. One is the classroom learning and the other is the fieldwork practice. The classroom teachings focus on the children in their developmental contexts and looks at various developmental disorders. Training to see the child in varied contexts like home, school and with peers, being sensitive to the child’s dealing within these contexts and strengthening the resources of stakeholders like parents, teachers and other adult stakeholders is done in classes geared to build perspective. Adolescents and their growing up challenges require sustained effort and specific interventions tailored to their needs which is addressed by the course. Two

days in a week for fifteen weeks in one semester is dedicated to fieldwork experience.

Students are placed in Schools, Community centers, Child focused intervention centers

and Children OPD in hospitals, to give them a hands-on experience in the real world. Faculty supervised individual and group conferences are done on a weekly basis to help the students convert the classroom learning into the field. Case conceptualizations, therapeutic

frameworks, workshops with children, teachers and parents, assessing needs

and creating child focused systems form a part of the student learning. This course helps

the student become proficient in knowledge and skills related to children, adolescents, family and the systems in which they co-exist.

Dr. Mamatha Shetty Assistant Professor, School of Human Ecology,Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

Child Elective



Fieldwork is a fundamental component of learning in the Counseling

Psychology course. The objectives of fieldwork are to acquire two important qualities: 1) practical competence and skills; and 2) a state of mind characterized by confidence, motivation, and a sense of professional identity. Field-work is introduced from the First Semester to provide students the opportunity to move the profession of counseling out of its theoretical boxes and historical beliefs into integrated practice. For the first two semesters, students are placed in different field work settings like schools, hospitals, women shelter homes, NGOs and observation homes which provides them with the knowledge of on-field realities which increases their effectiveness with clients and becomes a basis of their education and development as a counselor. Students are

encouraged to participate in practical learning simultaneously with theoretical learning so that

they can incorporate their experiences into their future attitudes and skills in practice. Supervisors use individual and group

debriefing sessions with the students providing them the opportunity to be aware of issues and develop skills relevant to their fieldwork settings. In the second semester, students are also placed in a Psychiatric OPD of a hospital

for four days as part of their course work of Understanding Psychological

Problems. There they are exposed to cases of serious mental illnesses and are encouraged to

conceptualize and develop treatment interventions in supervision through group discussions and submissions of case reports.

Mr. Budhadeep GondaneAssistant Professor, School of Human Ecology, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

The students of Masters in Applied Psychology - Specialization in Counselling Psychology are also offered an elective on working with adults, couples and families in the third and fourth semester. Issues covered in this course range from exploring family and couple interactions, work place contexts, substance abuse, psychosocial and interpersonal issues of the elderly. The broad aim is to sensitize students to these issues and help them develop effective interventions relevant to the Indian context. Third semester deals with history and evolution of family counselling, systems theory, schools of family therapy, assessment and hypothesization in family and couple counselling, techniques of family and couple counselling, issues of gender and power, domestic violence and legal frameworks for understanding family and couple disputes. Fourth semester deals with issues related to substance abuse and psychosocial concerns

of the older adults. Varied teaching methods such as lectures, discussions, role plays and several

evaluation methods like case presentations, case write ups, thematic papers, are employed

for a comprehensive assessment of theoretical knowledge and analytical and practice skills. Field work is an essential component of this course. Agencies are carefully selected to complement class room teaching. In the third semester

students are placed with agencies dealing family and couple conflicts and in the

fourth semester with counselling centers and residential programs addressing issues of

substance abuse and concerns of the elderly. Weekly fieldwork supervision by the faculty aims at personal and professional development of the students thus ensuring a smooth transition from classroom to the field.
