Description

This course examines the treatment of children seen in family therapy. In order to treat young children, it is necessary for the psychologist to function as assessor, therapist, and network consultant. An understanding of how to proceed with a variety of childhood disorders will be covered. Consultations with school districts, physicians, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and teachers will serve as an adjunct to the specific clinical interventions that are recommended for this population. Developmental issues will be explored, as will basic principles of working with children and parents.
