PSY-629A2 Practicum Case Seminar: Psychodynamic2 semester credits
Each 2 unit PSY-629 term (term 1 is 629A1 and so on) is designed to complement the student’s clinical practicum experience. The primary goals of PSY-629 are: a) to provide depth exposure to one broad clinical theoretical orientation, including theoretical understanding, applied skill development, and related research and; b) to provide ongoing case consultation and supervision linked to the training the students are concurrently receiving at their practicum sites.
PSY-629A focuses on developing a strong knowledge base in psychodynamic theories and the application of these theories and related research to the conceptualization and practice of psychotherapy. The Psychodynamic track introduces students to a philosophically informed approach to psychotherapy that is congruent with the psychoanalytic traditions but which is cognizant of the postmodernist, dialectic, and systems- informed modes of thinking. Students will be introduced to basic philosophical ideas that formed the foundation of the psychoanalytic theory and practice.
