Description

This course is designed to introduce methods and principles of psychotherapy integration. The ideas of theory, psychological science, specific and common interventions, mechanisms of change, and models of their integration will be elaborated. A broad definition of integration will be used, including how we use cognitive, affective, biological, and social psychology to inform our work with clients as well as how we incorporate research practices, diversity, and systemic thinking into our professional service. From this course, students are expected to acquire knowledge from the psychotherapy integration literature as well as have greater awareness of how they themselves think about psychological change and how they will integrate differing perspectives and views into their future professional contact.
