PSY 776 - Intervention VI: Group Approaches to Treatment

Units: 3
When Offered: Summer
This course focuses on theoretical and evidence-based models of group therapy, including (but not limited to) Yalom’s eclectic approach and cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and other group-focused theoretical orientations. Students review strategies to evaluate treatment progress, and are exposed to the American Psychological association’s specialty area of group therapy, drawing from this body of literature to guide group interventions in clinical practice. Direct observation is used via mock therapy sessions to help students develop intervention skills for groups.
