PSY-629C2 Practicum Case Seminar: Humanistic/Experiential2 semester credits
Each 2 credit PSY-629 course consists of four terms over a two-year period taken during a 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-629C focuses on developing a strong knowledge base in humanistic/experiential theories, and the application of these theories, and related research to the conceptualization, and practice of psychotherapy. The Humanistic/Experiential track introduces students to a philosophically informed approach to psychotherapy that is congruent with the humanistic and experiential traditions but which is cognizant of the postmodernist, dialectic, multi-perspectivist, systems, and spiritually informed modes of thinking that many humanistic practitioners have integrated into their practice. While students will be introduced to basic philosophical ideas that formed the foundation of the humanistic/experiential movement, as well as selections from the “classic” writings of humanistic psychology, there will be equal emphasis upon subsequent and recent developments within the broad humanistic tradition that have endeavored to integrate these into practice with psychodynamic ideas, neurobiology, and systems theory including approaches that have attempted to ground humanistic therapy in empirical support.
