MSC 653 - Happiness, Mindfulness, & Mental Health

Institution:

Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

While there is no shortage of lay theories and self-help literature that offer advice on how to achieve the good life, this seminar will examine the nature of mindfulness and happiness and its utility in a therapeutic or consultative environment. Recent empirical research will be reviewed, and students will be asked to apply the information in several written assignments and in class discussion. While the main goal of this course is to extend student understanding of clinical and empirical research on the topic of happiness, they will be invited to apply some of the research findings on happiness to their own life and clinical practice.
