MFC 507 - Foundations of Counseling and Psychotherapy

Credits: 3

This course presents models originally developed to work with individuals as a context for understanding marital and family therapy and school counseling.  The major focus is on three (3) foundational approaches: Psychodynamic, Humanistic-Existential, and Behavioral and Cognitive-Behavioral theories.  The course is comparative and integrative, and offers an introduction to rather than a comprehensive presentation of these historically important models.  These models also provide the context for foundational counseling skills utilized by marriage and family therapists and school counselors.
