CN 726 - Counseling Theories

Semester Hours: 3
This course will focus on the various systems of psychotherapy from the older, traditional theories to the more modern approaches, including family systems, cross-cultural approaches, and constructivist and integrative strategies. Understanding the foundation of the theories (their views of human nature and personality) will allow comparative analysis of the theories’ explanations of psychopathology, and the goals, assessment, therapeutic relationships, techniques, and mechanisms of change. Empirical validation, gender and multicultural issues, and indications and contraindications of the various approaches will be explored.

Pre-requisites: none.
