Description:

This course is for students who intend to become Psychotherapists. Classes are devoted to discussions of alternative ways a therapist might handle specific situations that commonly arise in clinical work including: establishing a working alliance with challenging patients, setting appropriate boundaries and managing boundary violations, handling resistance, repairing relationship ruptures, and maintaining an optimal balance between focusing on process and focusing on outcome. Role - playing is used extensively, and the class is highly interactive. Because experiential learning is a major didactic tool used in this course, class attendance is required.
