This course will examine major theories of counseling by reviewing their historical contexts, views of human nature, key concepts, primary techniques, therapeutic processes, social and cultural contexts, and research on effectiveness. The theories will be applied through case studies, role play videos, and vignettes. Students are encouraged not only to explore major theoretical orientations, but also to explore their personal beliefs and values in an effort to develop their own understanding and/or approach to counseling.
This course is open to EDUC Masters students only.
