PC 502 - Intermediate Practicum Seminar II

This year-long course provides a small consultation group in which students examine relevant clinical and professional development issues that arise as the result of participation in intermediate practica. Students present practicum cases to gain mastery in the integration of theory and practice. Case conceptualizations consider client/therapist relationship, broad system issues (e.g., family, school, community, court, political, other treatment professionals/programs), and areas of diversity and difference (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status) as contextual variables. Presentations and discussions are designed to prepare students to successfully complete their Clinical Competency Exam (CCE) the following semester. Students complete their Clinical Competency Exam (CCE) in PY 507 during Spring semester. Successful completion of the CCE is required to receive credit for these courses and the Intermediate Practicum. (Pass/Fail) (3 credits For Fall, 3 credits for Spring, 0 credit for Summer) (3 credits)
