Understanding Children and Their Treatment
How are emotional issues manifested differently in children than adults, and how does that affect treatment? What therapeutic approaches meet a child’s emotional, social, and developmental needs? How does a therapist use play and other expressive therapies to help children grow and flourish? In this class we will explore the central theories and practices of several therapeutic approaches using the research and clinical literature and clinical materials (e.g. case discussions, videotaped therapy sessions, artwork, narratives). Evaluation will be based on research and reaction papers , student led-discussions, and group presentations. Not open to students who have taken PSYC 0421. (PSYC 0105; open to psychology majors only, others by waiver) 3 hrs. lect.
