PY 494 - Advanced Intervention: Third Wave Therapies

Through this class, students will become familiar with the overarching functional contextual philosophy of science. Students will learn about and apply acceptance/mindfulness interventions alongside change oriented technologies (values assessments and action in chosen directions) consistent with DBT and ACT models for multi-problem clients (e.g. severe and persistent presentations). Class will be taught as a group, with the first part (DBT) utilizing a didactic format and the latter part (ACT) utilizing experiential training as the main methodology. Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP – one word) principles will be incorporated throughout and form the bedrock of understanding the therapeutic relationship within behaviorally based therapies.
