PY 491 - Advanced Intervention: Interpersonal


Prerequisite(s): PY 462 . This course will cover those psychodynamic models (i.e., contemporary Object Relations, Intersubjective Self Psychology, Relational) that focus on interpersonal dynamics in the conceptualization of psychopathology and the treatment process. Often referred to as “two person theories,” these models typically view the therapist as inevitably subjectively involved in the therapy that reflects what the client and clinician bring to the relationship. The class will emphasize contemporary versions of these models of intervention including the role of culture, race, and gender. (2 credits)
