PSYC 541 - Psychotherapy: Theory and Practice I

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: Matriculation in MA program in psychology or onsent of instructor
This course is designed for graduate students in clinical psychology who are interested in developing effective therapeutic techniques for working with older adolescents and adults. The course will examine psychopathology from a developmental perspective. From this model, various approaches (humanistic, behavioral, cognitive and psychodynamic) to therapy 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 various forms of psychotherapy. Moreover, contextual factors related to diversity will be integrated throughout the course.
