PSYC 541 - Adult Psychotherapy: Theory and Practice

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: Matriculation in Psychology MA program or consent of instructor
This course is designed for graduate students in clinical psychology to develop effective therapeutic techniques for working with older adolescents and adults through the lifespan. The course will employ an integrative developmental model: various approaches to therapy (humanistic, behavioral, cognitivist, constructivist, psychodynamic and systemic) will be applied and evaluated. No preferred treatment modality will be espoused, rather, students will be expected to make use of a combination of techniques and integrate the art and science of psychotherapy. Contextual and cultural awareness will be integrated throughout the course.
