PY 504 - Intermediate Practicum Seminar I


Prerequisite(s): PY 437  And PY 439  And PY 462  And PY 464  And PY 466  And PY 468  And PY 486 . This is the first course in the Intermediate Practicum sequence. This 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. (3 credits)
