CL544 Advanced Counseling with Evidence Based Therapies
This course emphasizes using research/professional literature, in combination with an understanding of a client to aid in choosing effective therapy. The course begins with an explanation of evidence-based therapies. Four specific therapies will be examined at depth: Cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders; interpersonal therapy for depressive disorders, exposure therapy for PTSD, and integrated therapy for co-occurring disorders. A review of those four therapies will include the history of the theory behind the therapy, an explanation of the components of the therapy, evidence for efficacy, and experiential exposure to the techniques and protocols of the therapy.
