PS6806 Practicum and Practicum Seminar 2
Students spend at least three hours each week discussing counseling cases as they continue to build their skills with regard to self-assessment, client relationship and intervention, and effective and ethical use of supervision and feedback. Each student spends 600 total hours in his/her external practicum placement, 240 of which are direct client hours. Case conceptualization, diagnosis and formulation, and effective treatment planning are topics for consideration. Developing a peer consultation framework and best practices for using supervision are also explored. Attention to culturally competent counseling is a significant part of this course.
