This course provides an introduction to current trends in psychotherapy theory, research, and practice, with an emphasis on application to advanced counseling students pursuing a clinically focused specialization ( i.e. MFT/PCC, CSS/PCC). Summaries of psychotherapy research are reviewed to support building an informed integrative approach to counseling. Central topics include the therapeutic relationship, evidence-based practice, integrative approaches to psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and the inclusion of spiritual and religious issues in counseling. Considerations for treatment include a review of case conceptualization, assessment, and treatment planning.
This course is taught using a seminar discussion format. Students are expected to attend class prepared by completing all readings and developing critical discussion questions. The instructor’s role is to act as facilitator and to provide expert guidance and case examples in relation to the practical application of psychological theory and the integration of spiritual concerns as a multicultural skill set.
