PS6805 Practicum and Practicum Seminar 1
In this seminar, students spend at least three hours each week presenting cases for which they have already received supervision at external internship sites and discuss issues related to professional development. California students spend 700 total hours in their external practicum placement, 280 of which are direct client hours. Washington students spend 600 total hours in their external practicum placement, 240 of which are direct client hours. Field placement at those sites emphasizes exposure to counseling, psychotherapy, diagnostic interviewing and diagnostic formulation, as well as professional identity for counseling professionals. Attention to culturally competent counseling is a significant part of this course.
