CFT-5260: Human Development: Lifespan & Systems

This course provides a critical overview of human development throughout the lifespan. The dominant Eurocentric and global perspectives are explicated with consideration to family and sociocultural contexts. The individual and family life cycles will be viewed as mutually interactive processes that are also affected by such factors as neurobiology, genetics, gender, race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, acculturation, religion, as well as addiction, trauma, resiliency and wellness. The development of the individual through a systems perspective will be traced chronologically through major theoretical approaches and concepts as well as from a counseling lens. Emphasis on intersectionality and a critical analysis of application of theory will be applied and inform how development is viewed ethically when serving diverse groups, including minority and cultural groups.
