Psychology, Counseling and Therapy
	PSY-5120GFS: Global Field Study The literature is replete with research that shows developing multicultural competence is an essential task for contemporary psychotherapists. It also shows that cultural immersion experiences are among the best ways to develop and enhance this competence. In service of this as a best practice in the field, we have developed an overseas service learning/cultural immersion opportunity via WorldTeach’s summer teach abroad program. The course includes a two month stay in a foreign country (China, Ecuador, Morocco, Nepal, or Poland) during which participants will teach English to under-resourced children and adults while living with local families. In order to participate in this course, learners must apply to and be accepted into the WorldTeach Summer Teach Abroad Program (worldteach.org). Min.

	PSY-5160D: Therapeutic Issues in Managing Traumatic Stress and Anger Everyday stress and anger are often seen as the root of many frequently expressed human emotions, yet our primary socializing institutions (families, schools, religious institutions) provide very little instruction to manage them effectively. As a result, Anger Management Training is increasingly being used by the courts, medical, legal and other corporate disciplinary committees, and by media consultants to remediate aggressive behavior exhibited while driving the highways, in the workplace and on the public airways. As stress levels rise in these times of economic uncertainty, we know that there is even more of an impact on the severity of psychological impairment and functioning. Moreover, there is evidence that clinicians should be prepared to see a growing number of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) cases resulting from the trauma associated with war zone deployment, as well as natural disasters, terror, motor vehicle accidents and sexual assault.

	PSY-5200C: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT): An Early Childhood Evidence-Based Treatment Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), is an evidence-based treatment model that fosters strengthening of the parent- child relationship and develops parent?s ability to appropriately manage child?s maladaptive behaviors. When young children are exposed to traumatic events such as physical and emotional abuse, several domains in their development may be impacted. Trauma affects children?s cognitive, social and emotional development as well as children?s relationships with their caregivers, especially when the trauma consists of physical or emotional abuse. PCIT gives parents the opportunity to learn, practice, and master specific parenting skills to manage and subsequently reduce their children?s acting out behaviors. At the same time PCIT promotes building social and emotional competence, such as taking turns, sharing, decreasing impulse control, and increasing frustration tolerance. The treatment consists of two phases: Child Directed Interaction (CDI) and Parent Directed Interaction (PDI). CDI portion of PCIT focuses on relationship enhancement skills, while PDI addresses age appropriate management of children?s maladaptive behaviors. This workshop will assist students in developing an understanding of PCIT concepts and the unique ways in which PCIT is suited to improve relationship between parents and children. It will also address the cultural barriers and considerations when using PCIT with different ethnic groups. Min.

	PSY-5201: Interrupting Intergenerational Trauma and Advancing Development in Children and Families: A Contempoary Psychoanalytic and Neurobiological Approach This course offers psychoanalytically and neurobiologically informed interventions to introduce students to how to interrupt multi-generational transmission of unresolved trauma. Rather than focusing mainly on symptom reduction in identified children, it teaches active techniques to help students recognize interpersonal patterns between parents and children that perpetuate traumatic experiences and inform behavioral difficulties in children. Through lecture and class discussions the didactic part of the workshop will address ideas about organizing patterns and meaning making between parents that are often expressed in the dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system in adults and children. The lecture will also address the somatic symptoms of dysregulation as a way to return to autonomic balance so family closeness can develop. The dynamics of attachment, empathic mirroring and attunement, and boundary negotiation will be addressed in order for parents and families to grow both in terms of family closeness and the individuation of family members, without sacrificing one for the other. The experiential part of the workshop, with the focus on both implicit and explicit communication, will help students acquire tools to help families develop new organizing patterns of relating. By using various sensory modalities the experiential exercises will enhance students’ self-awareness in a relational context and will develop their ability to negotiate individual differences including cultural, sexual, and gender differences.

	PSY-5210E: Black Women’s Psyche: an Exploration Into Complexity This workshop focuses on the ways in which psychotherapists are consciously and unconsciously aware of their relationship to and with Black women, defined here as women who claim a racial, cultural or ethnic identity linked to the African diaspora. Thus, this definition recognizes that Black women’s identities and corresponding psyches are not universal. Rather, there exists a complex-and often complicated-way in which these women are recognized and understood by themselves as well as by the broader society. The workshop explores the distinctions between archetypal representations and social stereotypes, as well as cultural complexes, shadow presentations and defense mechanisms frequently associated with the Black woman’s psyche. Through interactive experiences, discussion, self reflection and writing, the workshop aims to increase participant’s understanding of their own values and beliefs as they relate to Black women. The class will help delineate best practices for establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, whether inter-culturally or intra-culturally. Therefore, this workshop seeks to increase key skills and knowledge necessary quality psychotherapy for Black women. Min.

	PSY-5240BR: Spirit Psychology Theory and Clinical Approaches Spiritual Psychology Theory and Clinical Approaches is a prerequisite course for the international Summer AULA MAP course PSY5250BR Spirituality in Clinical Practice: Medicine and Psychology (São Paulo, Brazil). The main objective of this workshop is that of introducing students to spiritual integrative healthcare in medicine and psychology based on the interface between the biopsychosocial, cultural, functional, human diversity, and spiritual systems proposed by the WHOQOL - 100 Protocol (World Health Organization Quality of Life - 100 Protocol) & pathogenesis in accordance to ICD-10 and the DSM 5 biomedical paradigm. Human suffering will be examined: from a health promotion perspective stemming from the concept of Salutogenesis, term coined by the American medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky (1923-1994); as a means to discover meaning, in accordance to Victor Frankl (1905-1997); and as a stepping stone for transpersonal processes from an Euro-Afro-Brazilian spiritual perspective. The study of pathogenesis will pay particular attention to dissociative disorders (ICD 10: F44.3 Trance and Possession Disorders), which explicitly addresses spiritual and mediumistic manifestations, raising an intriguing paradigm to psychiatry and its intersection with the spiritual domains.

	PSY-5290: Feminist Theories in Psychology: Application in Clinical Practice Current research and empirical investigations have shown that women-identified clients in the U.S. use psychotherapy and psychological services significantly more than their male peers. Further, the American Psychological Association (APA) has established non-sexist practice as part of its ethical guidelines and standards for practitioners (APA, 2002). This higher utilization of therapy by women and gender-nonconforming clients and call for gender-affirmative practice indicate the need for therapists and counselors: (a) to understand psychological issues that affect women in particular, (b) to become knowledgeable about feminist principles and practices which, by definition, include an examination of the social, political, and cultural contexts of women, and (c) to broaden their knowledge base to include feminist perspectives on psychological theory, intervention, and client populations of women in order to become more effective therapists. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to contemporary feminist theory and the impact that feminist thought has had on psychology. Students will develop an understanding of the varieties of feminist thought, the psychology of gender, issues of power and privilege, and feminist models of assessment, counseling and psychotherapy.

With the intention of expanding beyond a Eurocentric view of psyche, the class will broaden understanding of intercultural ideas about the psychic reality and non-duality, the increasing East/West/South/North dialogue in Western* psychology, and the exploration of non-Western/indigenous psycho-spiritual techniques of self-transformation. The course also considers the significant influence of various (Western and non-Western) religious and spiritual traditions that are critical to Jung’s theories of the Self, complexes, individuation, the transpersonal, the collective unconscious, and the evolution of consciousness.

We will explore the symptoms of traumatic experience and the difficulties of memorializing such experiences through official histories and monuments as well as through resistant counter-memories and counter-monuments in environments where majorities erase the past through amnesia about historical events. Various projects of dialogue, reconciliation, and restoration will be analyzed, and community liberation arts projects will be explored. Finally, we will discern the outlines of new practices and theories emerging as liberation psychologies, questioning what aspects of our own understandings may have been shaped by a traumatic past. We will begin the course with an analysis of traumatic experiences in specific environments, drawing on film and literature to focus on symptoms and cultural effects of both physical and psychological violence. In the middle weeks of the course we will sort through the outcomes of violence for victims as well as for perpetrators, bystanders, and witnesses, and we will trace their performances in historic attempts at dialogue, reconciliation, or denial. Finally, in the last several weeks we will explore the theories and methodologies, as well as innovative aesthetics and ethics that have developed as liberation psychologies, evolving in communities to promote collaborative forms of art, dialogue, and research that break with the status quo and develop new solidarities for social transformation.
