PSC-6521: Practicum I: Clinical Evaluation and Crisis Intervention with Latinx Clients

This practicum course is a blend of theory, skills, and consultation focusing on students’ initial experiences in a clinical traineeship. Students learn the basics of working with non-profits and other agencies. Early stages of treatment are examined including establishment of the therapeutic relationship, identification of critical issues and factors related to healthy functioning. Students learn to conduct a comprehensive interview to obtain an assessment of cases within a family, social, economic, and medical context, and standards of documentation. The course also addresses the identification of psychosocial stressors, emergent issues, and crisis situations in order to target them for immediate intervention and establishing treatment goals. Attention is given to prevention and intervention within the context of working with Latinx families and within the context of the Latinx community.
