This course presents fundamental skills and strategies that underlie many psychotherapies. In reviewing the theory and research on therapy and helping relationships, the course identifies basic principles of problem management, communication, listening, and helping. A workshop format is used to teach and practice helping skills. Students develop skills in practice interviews and small-group experiences. This course is appropriate for students in psychology as well as social work, pastoral counseling, or management.
Student evaluation is based on completion of readings, interviews, and an oral presentation.
