PC 499 - AI: H-E Relational, Child, and Adolescent Therapies


Prerequisite(s): PC 466 . This course will explore the history and significance of humanistic-existential approaches to couple, family, child and adolescent therapies. Students will work toward the integration of relational phenomenology and therapeutic care as they explore various critiques of developmental and sociological assumptions that have heretofore informed therapeutic practice, and consider humanistic-existential understandings of development and "being-with" from within the "life-world" of therapeutic encounters. The course will also address the relational phenomenology and significance of various existential situations such as the spatiality of being at home or homeless, parenting, schools, the court room, health care, peer-worlds, and life-span rituals. (2 credits) Friday night at 6-9pm, Saturday from 9-5, and Sunday from 9-12. (2 credits)
