Contemporary Theories and Therapy Models of Clinical Practice II

Catalog description

This course will continue to examine the major premises of behavior change that have informed contemporary clinical social work practice since the 1980s. The values, assumptions, methods, and research evidence for each theory will be examined. Readings representing the interpersonal, emotionally focused, and behavioral health approaches will be critically examined. This course is designed to develop students' capacities to deconstruct and critique theories through the understanding of underlying assumptions that underpin not only those theories but also current social work principles, practices, and policies. Prerequisite(s): SWK 9101 . Restriction(s): For DSW students only.
