  • WRK-7090: Suicide: Effective Risk Assessment and Intervention

    Suicide is the most common psychological emergency that therapists will encounter, and it is on the rise. For mental health professionals with an active clinical practice, suicide is an occupational hazard that can be both emotionally and practically devastating. Recent research has identified suicide-specific therapies that are effective in treating both suicidal ideation and behavior. Most therapists are not aware of them nor have they been trained in them, so most suicidal clients do not receive these potentially lifesaving treatments. This course will provide an invaluable opportunity for therapists to become familiar with these empirically validated, evidence-based treatments for suicide that are fast becoming the standard of care.

  • WRT-3290: The Art of Screenwriting

    This class is a workshop for students to develop the fundamental tools and techniques of screenwriting for film. It is designed to provide the film writing student with skills that cultivate an ability to create compelling narrative story lines, a nuanced understanding of the dramatic structure of screenplays, and an ability to effectively read and write in film script format. The class is designed for the screenwriting student who is prepared to originate new work and present it in a supportive and rigorous workshop setting. Work will be given a close reading by all students and the teacher in the workshop. Participants will give detailed written comments as well as engage in a group critique of work. The class will seek to investigate screenwriting as a genre that is both bound by conventions but breaks withheld formulas. We will reflect on the commercial versus the artistic aspects of the screenplay and what are the demands of each market- how can the screenplays and stories we want to tell be both personal (reflect our cultural identities) and be viable in a commercial marketplace? As space allows, students may enroll in the screenwriting workshop during multiple quarters. Different members of the creative writing faculty teach the workshop, allowing students over successive quarters to complete entire screenplays and to get broader exposure to diverse bodies of films.
