Doctoral Person of the Therapist (POTT).

Catalog description

This course is designed to enhance the clinical skills and competence of doctoral level family therapists through the Person of the Therapist Training Model. The POTT model encourages students involved in clinical practice to actively explore self of the therapist issues to enhance clinical practice. Self of the therapist issues are inherent in clinical work and students learn critical self-reflection and analysis of power and privilege as they identify and work with personal issues that may arise in the context of clinical work. This course is designed to complement students’ clinical competence as students develop an awareness of the self within one’s own family of origin, as well as the broader social context. Prerequisite: Enrollment in CN 7141 , CN 8363 , CN 8364 , and CN 8365 .
