These courses provide a comprehensive study of the research strategies, testing procedures, and professional practices associated with the field of clinical psychology.
Special attention is paid to informing students about current research approaches.
Emphasis is given to the development of research skills necessary to discern the multiple dimensions of psychological life as well as the application of such findings to clinical practice. These classes stimulate dialogue among the traditions of clinical psychology, depth psychology, and cultural studies. The student is encouraged to understand that a wide variety of cultural sources inform the craft of psychotherapy. Literature, myth, history, and art infuse the science of clinical psychology with an essential sense of our connection to the recurring archetypal motifs of the psyche. The historical conditions which produced depth psychology are examined for their continuing influences as unconscious factors in the therapeutic situation.
