PSY 6320 - Foundations of Psychotherapy III

3 Credit(s)

This course will focus on specific theoretical and clinical orientations for understanding psychopathology and how those frameworks translate to psychotherapeutic approaches. This course will also include a strong emphasis on empirically-based treatment approaches, and the use of certain manualized treatments with certain populations (e.g., children, adolescents, etc.). For example, specific treatment approaches will include Trauma-Focused Approaches (e.g., EMDR, Exposure, TF-CBT), Interpersonal Approaches (e.g., IPT), Family Systems (PCIT), Behavior Therapy (e.g., Habit Reversal Training, etc.), and other Cognitive Approaches (e.g., Exposure and Response Prevention, Systematic Desensitization, etc.). Examples of manualized treatments will also be introduced as part of this course (e.g., The Coping Cat). (Summer - 1st Session) [Graded (Standard Letter)]
