Students will become familiar with a variety of agencies, clients, therapy approaches, and presenting problems.
Emphasis is placed on discussing the various ethical issues and problems in counseling psychology.
The major vehicle for learning will be group problem-solving, analysis of clinical work, and reporting on internship progress and cases. The goal of the course is to foster confidence in the student and to build self-esteem by providing students with intensive and constructive feedback on counseling techniques and styles. In this way, we hope to support students in their transition out of the MAC program and into professional positions and to assist students in seeking and using supervision. First, you will be expected to bring and present your own internship cases. This class is a working class where we will learn by struggling with actual on-going cases.
