PS6806 Practicum and Practicum Seminar 2
Students spend at least three hours each week discussing counseling cases as they continue to build their skills with regard to self-assessment, client relationship and intervention, and effective and ethical use of supervision and feedback. Each student spends 600 total hours in their external practicum placement, 240 of which are direct client hours. Case conceptualization, diagnosis and formulation, and effective treatment planning are topics for consideration. Developing a peer consultation framework and best practices for using supervision are also explored. Attention to culturally competent counseling is a significant part of this course.
