Social Justice in Clinical Psychology

Catalog description

Over the course of this weekend workshop, we will strive to conceptualize how we, as individuals and as members of this profession, can promote social justice through our clinical practice. This workshop will expand students’ views of the limits of how we, as psychologists, can contribute to a better life using alternative modes of practice. Participants will be introduced to theories and applications for and practices in social justice, better understand the similarities and differences between social justice and multiculturalism, be introduced to social justice practices within the scope of clinical psychology professional practice and participate in reflexive discussions on the implications of disciplinary boundaries for those we hope to help.
