Cognitive Behavioral Interventions

Catalog description

This course introduces graduate level psychology students with the historical antecedents, philosophical principles, and contemporary issues associated with cognitive-behavioral interventions. In conjunction with these underpinnings, the science and evidence-based associated with cognitive-behavioral interventions will be explored as well as similarities and differences with other contemporary intervention modalities. Techniques common to cognitive-behavioral interventions will be examined in addition to manualized treatments. Students will examine treatment manuals, in terms of diversity as well as other issues, and develop treatment protocols, associated with psychological difficulties, which they and others can evaluate, modify, follow, and supervise others in the provision of psychological survives from this intervention point of view.
