Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): SWRK812. Must be enrolled in D.S.W. program. This course will cover a number of new therapeutic approaches and the theories and evidence that support them. For heuristic purposes, the theories considered will be divided between "Theories of Explanation," which help us to understand our clients better, and "Theories of Intervention," wich help us to understand the various helping processes. Particular attention will be paid to the processes of how intervention theories and models are developed. Some specific examples, such as cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy, existential and other approaches will be examined. The specific orientations to intervention will also, as much as possible, be influenced by student choices and input.
