(Topics vary)
- Clinical Interventions with Children Introduces students to the theory and practice of child and family psychotherapy, focusing on specific interventions with children individually, with parents, in families, and in the contexts in which they interact. The first part of the course focuses on O’Connor’s Ecosystemic Theory in treating children. Specific attention is given to understanding the theory, learning how to evaluate a child, formulating a treatment plan and intervening with children who live and function within the contexts of family, peers, schools, cultures and many other systems. In the second part of the course, students learn and practice interventions that are research and theoretically based and designed for treatment of a variety of psychological disorders and problems that occur with children. Interventions target all areas in which the child lives, especially parental and family influences. It is assumed that the students have a sound knowledge of development and life span issues, though the course revisits these issues briefly.
- Advanced Child Assessment Provides students with knowledge and skills in assessing children (emphasis on school-aged children). Students will learn principles of assessment techniques–primarily from a hypothesis-testing approach—and will learn to integrate information from various sources to form a comprehensive picture of the child.
