	PSY-5580M: Spiritual Psychology and Spiritual Psychotherapy This course explores the viewpoint that spirituality, as reflected in various traditions from around the world, suggests an alternative perspective on how one overcomes suffering and moves toward having a happy life. This viewpoint is drawn from the integration of classical yogic based meditation practice and spiritual perspective with psychodynamic, object relations, existential, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to working with clients. Many current therapeutic methods are utilizing and incorporating mindfulness, the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of which have been empirically supported. However, various meditative traditions diverge radically from the empirical perspective in how they understand cause and effect and the process of growth and change. In this course we explore the view that spirituality speaks directly to clinical problems and recommends the inclusion of the associated mysterious, powerful, and joyful healing experiences in our understanding of therapeutic process. We will share and discuss several clinical and personal spiritual experiences. And we will explore their therapeutic benefit and the difficulty in pinning down the mechanism of action in such instances, suggesting that activities in the spiritual realm may be apparent and experienceable while also remaining unknowable or incomprehensible in certain ways. The viewpoint taken in this course is that such phenomena should not be ignored or undervalued in mainstream psychology We will explore contemplation as practiced in a variety of cultures and spiritual traditions. Contemplation is an entirely different way of knowing reality that has the power to move us beyond ideology and dualistic thinking. The capacity for nondual knowing that is developed through contemplation allows us to be happy, and comfortable with paradox and mystery. Spiritual masters of various traditions have taught us how all the hopes we have on the outside can be fulfilled on the inside through meditation and contemplation. Suffering can be an important and valuable source of guidance in this process, as we detach from the experience of needing external things to find fulfillment. This course will also consider the practical use of contemplative practice to identify and intervene on processes of psychological projection, as well as to intercede on binary thinking often applied to culture, gender, sexuality, class, and disability, building our capacity as therapists to be compassionate and respectful of socio-cultural differences. We will draw from and seek parallels amongst a number of the great spiritual traditions and practices drawn from a variety of cultures around the world in this workshop, including, Buddhist, Hindu-Yoga-Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, Sufi/Muslim, mystical Christianity, Native American and Kabbalah/Jewish Mysticism as we reflect on the concepts of spiritual psychology and psychotherapy.

	PSY-5580Q: Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Addictions - whether to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, or other behaviors - often stem from a desire to escape our current experience.

	PSY-5714: Exploration of Post Traumatic Growth Recently the field of trauma psychology has directed research and attention beyond recovering from PTSD and traumatic experiences to the possibility of post-traumatic growth. Researchers have investigated not only what makes people resilient but what characteristics and conditions enable people to come through healing and end up wiser, stronger, more fulfilled, and with a deeper meaning to their lives than they had before trauma event. This course provides an overview of the theory and research of individuals’ positive reactions to trauma–often called trauma transformation, self-reinvention, positive life change, posttraumatic growth (PTG), stress-related growth (SRG) or self-transcendence.

	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 Wellness 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-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-5930Z: Affirmative Psychotherapy This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the principles of the school of “affirmative” psychotherapy that emerged in the 1970s during LGBTQ+ liberation and has evolved into its own school of thought. This line of thought reached a significant consolidation with the publication of the American Psychological Association’s “Guidelines for Psychotherapy for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Clients” (APA, 2000) which itself built on a rich literature developed over a generation of engaged research, theory and practice, and additionally with “Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People.” A variety of texts have come out that further explored these concerns (see course texts, for example). The literature suggests that it is neither scientifically sound nor morally tenable to view LGBTQ+ individuals through an “illness” model. It is furthermore suggested that therapists need to become attuned to their own prejudicial biases and moreover become proactively educated in the culture, family/kinship structure and ethos of queer peoples, if they are to be both ethical and reasonably helpful to their LGBTQ+ as well as queer and questioning clients. This class attempts to develop a practical and “general form” of addressing these historic guidelines through sensitization, education and clinical practice. Through reading and understanding, we will attempt to bring together the sensibility of variety of different modalities (e.g., humanistic; psychodynamic; CBT; postmodern; and existential) to achieve a preliminary and respectfully eclectic “working model” of how to do “affirmative” therapy. Ideally, students should leave this class feeling that that they know how to conduct therapy with an LGBTQ+ client because they have gained the listening, intervention and treatment planning skills to intervene helpfully on overt and covert homo-negativity that distinguishes them as “competent” and “trained” in this emerging and urgently needed, new field.

	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: Working 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 Within 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. Min.

	PSY-5940M: Frontiers in Integrative Depth Psychology Integrative Depth Psychology (IDP) is an emergent field of study and in this class is investigated as the intersections of psychoanalytical/depth psychology, socio-cultural studies, diversity consciousness, mindfulness studies, transpersonal psychology, and neuroscience. This course is structured as a laboratory to investigate current ways in which these respective fields are cross-pollinating and informing methods of pedagogy, inner work, psychotherapy, and community wellness practices. Students’ contribution to this emergent field is understood as the frontier of the field and toward this end the core learning activities of the course involves the students’ development of their own professional interests. Class work includes readings in historic and current literature in the field, students’ inner work practice, class discussion, development and completion of a research project, and completion of a collaborative course project based on the student’s research project. The course draws on post-Jungian theory, which both critiques limitations in C.G. Jung’s classical model (e.g. Eurocentric, colonial, binary assumptions) and highlights meaningful advances in the field.

	PSY-5940P: The Shadow Side of Spirituality: a Clinical Consideration of the Traumatizing Legacy of Organized Religion For many, religion and spirituality is complicated by the legacy of violence and neglect that has been committed in the name of religious/spiritual values. This workshop provides students with an opportunity to explore, from a clinical and personal perspective, the religious dimension of the psyche and its shadow as expressed through collective religious/spiritual abuse, addiction, and trauma. We will discuss religious organizational problems of racism, homophobia, sexism, and other forms of social control, as well attempting to appreciate the origin and psychological function of these devices. Students will examine the post-traumatic effects of religious violence, often clinically manifesting in depression, substance abuse, relational difficulties, personality disorders, self-harm, and sociopathy. Students will also explore the potentially numbing effect of spiritual bypassing which may contribute to turning a blind eye on issues of social justice as well a failing to embrace one’s personal shadow. Participants will explore the issue of spiritual/religious longing, which is sometimes juxtaposed, to feelings of marginalization by the broader religious community. Students will have the opportunity to reflect on methods of validating spiritual longing as well as religious trauma with an eye toward cultivating authentic spirituality, personal and community empowerment.
