Description

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 schools and mental health agencies will also be examined. This course should serve as a foundational review of child development; systems effect on development and behavior and specifically family-based treatment for children. Students may be required to offer a workshop to a local agency. The creation of clinical cases, including therapy and supervision will occur in this class.
