Description
This course focuses on theoretical and empirical models of child and adolescent therapy, including (but not limited to) cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic,
collaborative problem solving, systemic, and postmodern approaches. Students review strategies to evaluate treatment progress, and are exposed to the
American Psychological Association's specialty area of clinical child and adolescent psychology, drawing from this body of literature to guide child and
adolescent interventions in clinical practice. Direct observation is used via mock therapy sessions to help students develop intervention skills with children
and adolescents. Prerequisite: PSY 700. (3 units; Spring)
