Description
This course focuses on the continued development of helping skills in psychotherapy, exploring transference and countertransference, process comments, the corrective relational experience, ruptures and repairs in the therapeutic alliance, and working through clients' problematic relational patterns, applying this skill-set to the profession of clinical psychology. Treatment planning and progress note writing are also emphasized, including the various models of documentation used within clinical psychology. Direct observation is used via mock therapy sessions to help students continue to develop clinical skills. Prerequisite: PSY 720. (2 units; Spring)
