Section Information for Fall 2021

This course is designed to begin preparing you as a professional therapist and to instruct you in the theory, principles, and application of cognitive-behavioral therapy for a variety of psychological problems. We will review cognitive and behavioral theories of emotion and experience, and the basic steps in conducting a cognitive-behavioral assessment, formulating a cognitive-behavioral conceptualization, and using that formulation to drive treatment. We will also review the principles of structuring cognitive-behavioral therapy and applying basic behavioral and cognitive techniques. Finally, we will explore how the therapist and client identity can interact in therapy, and how to effectively broach sensitive issues (e.g., sexual history and preferences, substance use, experiences of racism and oppression) with clients.

PSYC 862 DL1 is a distance education section.
