  • PSY-5900B: Treatment of HIV/STD Related Clinical Issues with LGBT Clients

    HIV continues to be a public health crisis in the United States that has disproportionately affected the LGBTQ community since its inception. While much has changed in the availability and types of treatments that now make HIV a chronic non-lethal disease, infection rates continue to remain steady at approximately 40,000 new infections per year. Most of these new infections are within the gay male community. However a disproportionate number affect MSM Latino and African-American men as well as the transgender communities. While the disease is now medically manageable, the psychosocial needs of the LGBTQ individuals living with and affected by HIV deserve clinical understanding and attention on the role of possible oppressions related to various identity components of each individual and how this might influence physical and mental health to support a self-valuing LGBTQ sense of self. An LGBTQ affirmative position empathically and clinically appreciates the often complex interplay and trauma-related responses between sexual orientation, gender, racism, socioeconomic challenges, religion, sexual abuse and the still powerful stigma attached to HIV and LGBTQ identities. This workshop will be facilitated from a broad-based perspective that encourages understanding of issues related to the treatment of HIV-infected and affected populations with the LGBT community. We will specifically consider the psychological, social and cultural influence of HIV on the LGBTQ community. Therapeutic skills will be taught that will assist student clinicians with a basic framework with which to provide compassionate and ethical treatment of HIV and co-occurring sexually transmitted diseases including the advances to prevention through the administration of PEP and PrEP protocols.

  • PSY-5930FF: LGBT Clinical and Psychological Wellne ss Across the Lifespan

    This course presents a hands-on overview of contemporary LGBT issues across the lifespan, as seen in clinical practice. Using a developmental framework, various issues are explored in a chronological fashion, from the developing psychology of the proto-LGBT (as well as queer and questioning) child, all the way through adolescence, midlife and issues of older adulthood, unique to the LGBTQQ experience. This course is equal parts theory and process. Not only does it cover relevant developmental models and LGBT-affirmative theories, it also explores the lived experience of various LGBT issues from both a personal and clinical point of view. Key to this class is the philosophy that good treatment must include self-awareness on the part of the clinician, which enables true empathy for the client. To this end, the class includes opportunities for students to reflect on their own life experiences and the meanings they make of them. Additionally, it looks at how these issues show up in psychotherapy (both in private practice and in clinic work). Through lectures, readings, class exercises, writing and much discussion this course works to understand the multiple layers of LGBT identity and experience in cross-cultural context, and how they interact with each other, and how they evolve over the course of one’s life.

  • PSY-5930GH: Bisexual Affirmative Psychotherapy Affirmative Therapy in an Era of Sexual, Gender and Cultural Fluidity

    This one-day workshop will explore the social and political context in which today’s counselors will provide affirmative therapy to bisexuals and others who identify as sexually fluid. Theories of bisexual identity development, myths about bisexuality, patterns of bisexuality, and post-modern concepts of sexual fluidity will be discussed. In addition, bisexual mental health issues will be examined in the context of their intersections with gender fluidity and cultural diversity. Workshop participants will explore ways of providing bi-affirmative therapy that is trans-affirmative and culturally competent. This workshop will incorporate both didactic instruction and experiential learning opportunities.

  • PSY-5930K: Healing Historical Oppression in the LG BT Communities

    This course explores how LGBT historical (and current) oppression negatively affects personal development of LGBT individuals through the experiences of minority stress. This process will be explored with both systemic and psychodynamic lenses. Although the labels included in LGBT (and any number of other labels) communities have not always existed, people with non-heteronormative or non-cisgender identities have always existed through history. A therapist with the ability to help clients reclaim LGBTQ+ history can help in psychological healing through providing twinship, altering internal objects, and healing the internal split, thereby reducing internalizing homo/bi/transphobia. The historical treatment of LGBT people in psychotherapy and psychiatry will be explored, as well as ways to navigate how this manifests in negative transference. Through learning in this course, students will learn to deliver interventions that help in building the self-efficacy of LGBTQ+ individuals through historical/cultural appreciation and understanding.

  • PSY-5930SS: Working with LGBTQIA Clients Theoretic Applications

    This course will study and apply literature from a wide variety of theoretical orientations (psychoanalytic, self psychology, CBT, humanistic, existential, sex therapy, and narrative) to clinical work with LGBTQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Ally) clients/patients. An integration of theory is important to the effective treatment of LGBTQIA clients/patients. The historical context of ideas will be discussed, especially in relationship to the LGBTQIA-Affirmative movement. Intersections of socio-cultural factors that influence minority mental health will have a strong emphasis. Clinical concepts to be discussed in context of working with LGBTQIA clients include (but are not limited to): unconditional positive regard, the unconscious, true/false self, self-object transferences, negative cognitions & schemas, intersections of identity, multiculturalism, empowerment, egalitarianism, homeostasis, and externalization) as they relate to LGBTQIA psychological healing.

  • PSY-5931: Intersex Clients Biomedical, Ethical And Psychological Considerations

    It is postulated than anywhere between 1 in 1500 and 1 in 2000 children born have a disorder of sexual development (DSD). Intersex is a general term used for a variety of conditions (or DSDs) in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy or biology that differs from stereotypical female (i.e. vagina, uterus, breast development and menstruation during puberty and estrogen as primary sex hormone) or male (i.e. penis, testicles and testosterone as primary sex hormone). The purpose of this course is to introduce psychology students to what intersex people face, medically, socially and psychologically. This course will help emerging clinicians confront their biases, particularly around sex, gender and disability. Topics covered in this one day workshop include: (1) the differences/similarities between sex, gender identity, and gender expression (2) the contemporary language used by the intersex community (3) the social, psychological, and medical aspects of being intersex (4) ethical perspectives of medical and psychological treatment of intersex patients (6) introduction to the diversity of disorders of sexual development (7) application of LGBTQI affirmative psychodynamic/depth theory to clinical work with intersex clients.

  • PSY-5932: Lesbian Love, Identity, Sexuality Worki ng with Clients

    Students will enter into a journey that aims to honor the Lesbian as a whole and complete person with her own psyche, soul, developmental organization, historical, and unfolding liberational potential. As part of this journey, students will be provided with a rich and textured Lesbian- affirmative theory of Lesbian identity and psychological development, charting a potential path on how therapists and their clients alike can learn how to embody a healthy and eroticized Lesbian sense of self. We will examine some of the ways in which psychoanalytic theorists such as Freud and others have attempted to explain the phenomenon of erotic love between women promulgating the millennial homophobia that denies Lesbians her own personhood, thus continuing the tragic legacy of internalized lesbianphobia and misogyny for women who love women. We will also examine ways in which modern Lesbian-affirmative theorists and activists have heroically worked under oppressive conditions towards a reclaiming of Lesbian selfhood by tackling these heterosexist and lesbian-phobic psychological dilemmas. This workshop will introduce students to how to work with the particular trauma associated with growing up Lesbian in a heterosexist and heteronormative world by working with the idea of The Sapphic Complex, a concept of lesbian development, in order for budding therapists to learn how to help all Lesbians achieve self-liberation within the clinical setting.

  • PSY-5933: Dismantling Privilege and Oppression Wit hin LGBT Communities

    This class is designed to provide students with culturally competent affirmative methodology to work clinically with LGBT people of color and other people struggling with oppressions related to identity, difference and disadvantage. In keeping with the LGBT Specialization mission, the class will employ an integral approach based in psychodynamic/Jungian methodology that also utilizes strength-based methodologies such as CBT, family systems, narrative therapy and existential humanist Interventions. This synthesis will assist in effectively and therapeutically honoring the unconscious and feeling life as it relates to LGBT core traumas and the attempt to survive homophobic and heterosexist world cultures, alongside the effects of multiple oppressions such as racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, and the intersection of religion/spirituality/family and other psychosocial concerns impacting LGBT clients. Students will be asked to explore LGBT multiculturalism through theory (via a mastery of the existing literature) and application (in the treatment planning assignments). This will include a validation on the cultural contributions in contemporary and ancient times by LGBT people of color. And, throughout the class, there will be significant focus on student self-awareness in regard to one’s own personal/cultural/sexual history vis-à- vis cultural diversity, as well as biases and attitudes related to LGBT people of diverse cultures and backgrounds through an attitude of ongoing attentiveness towards one’s own internalized homophobia, lesbianphobia, biphobia, transphobia, hetersosexism, sexism and toxic shame as it intersects with racism and resulting multiple oppressions in the lives of LGBT people of color. To this aim, postmodernism and Queer Theory can be supportive in deconstructing heteronormativity and unjust power and other forms of colonialism. However, the class goals are in line with the LGBT Specialization’s stance that these orientations are best employed in support of LGBT Studies and the study of the unconscious psyche, in an effort to not reinforce dominant heterosexist attitudes undermining LGBT affirmative identity and healing.

  • PSY-5934: Affirmative Therapy Exploring Sex and Gender

    This course will help students learn how to address the clinical concerns that arise for transgender, gender nonbinary, and intersex clients growing up in an endocisheteronormative world. Students will learn how to confront the cissexist and endosexist parts of themselves in order to avoid harmful enactments in the therapy room. Students will learn to be able to address internalized shame in their transgender, gender nonbinary and intersex clients. Topics will include understanding the biological, essentialist, socially constructed, and behavioral parts of identity, helping clients manage microaggressions, assisting clients with transition (social, legal, and medical), and application of affirmative theory to clinical work with transgender, gender nonbinary, and intersex clients. Exploration of how intersectionality with other minority statues (race, ethnicity, ability, class, etc.) will be addressed throughout the course. The course will primarily include lecture and discussion with occasional role-plays.

  • PSY-5940K: Buddhism and Psychoanalysis in Dialogue Implications for Current Clinical Practi ce

    Buddhism and psychoanalysis both provide technologies and practices that promote psychological mindfulness and self-realization. While these two traditions are steeped in cultural perspectives that are radically different in some respects, a significant and growingly lively courtship between psychoanalysis and Buddhism has been taking place through theoretical discourse as well as the emergence of Buddhist informed principles into clinical practice. This workshop overviews aspects of the history of this relationship, considers varying perspectives on ideas such as ego, self, neurosis, mindfulness, and self-realization. The clinical implications of an integrative (East/West) depth psychological modality will be explored. There will also be the opportunity to practice classical mindfulness-based exercises.

  • PSYC-7650: History of War and Traumatic Stress Injuries a Social Justice Perspective

    This cross disciplinary course represents the first-ever exploration into the perplexing history of war stress injuries and repetitive military mental health crises that have plagued generations of the warrior class and American society since the turn of the 20th century. A social justice framework is adopted when examining the underlying factors believed responsible for cyclical failures to meet mental health needs including mental health stigma, disparity, and antiquated dualistic policies of mental and physical health that negatively impact military and civilian populations alike. The aftermath of military experiences in war have traditionally had a profound influence on a broad range of postwar polices and professions such as medicine, psychiatry, psychology, social work, occupational therapy, neurology, nursing, pastoral care, journalism, sociology, history, etc. What is the likely impact from the current wars, and how might our views of mental health change?

  • PSYC-7680: Clinical Neuropsychology

    This course serves as an introduction to the field of clinical neuropsychology. Topics will cover functional neuroanatomy, the neurologic examination, the clinical interview in neuropsychology, pertinent behavioral observations (identifying neurologic signs), domains of neuropsychological assessment, how to administer and interpret the most widely used tests from each domain, and integrated neuropsychological report writing. We will review the neurologic and psychiatric disorders that frequently present for neuropsychological evaluation and the empirically supported techniques that can help manage and treat them. Subspecialties within clinical neuropsychology such as rehabilitation psychology, forensic neuropsychology, and pediatric neuropsychology will also be covered. Ethical and cultural considerations will be considered throughout the course. The emphasis on functional neuroanatomy is based on the assumption that, despite my best efforts, many of you will choose a specialty outside of clinical neuropsychology. Psychologists are experts in the study of the mind, yet few have a good grasp on the machinery that powers it. A detailed understanding of functional neuroanatomy is important for psychologists from all subdisciplines and essential to a comprehensive understanding of cognition, emotion, and behavior. This class will also focus on specific neurologic signs and syndromes such as agnosia, amnesia, aphasia, apraxia, etc. Students will acquire knowledge through lectures, video and audio case examples, explanation and demonstration of the neurological examination by a neurologist, human brain dissection (if possible), demonstration of a neuropsychological evaluation, practiced neuropsychological test administration, reviewed interpretations of neuropsychological test data, and supervised report writing.
