Counseling Methods
and Skills This course is an intensive introduction to the theories and practices of counseling, intended to equip students with the methods, skills, and techniques to communicate effectively, provide guidance and useful support, and advise people in a broad range of environments, including crisis counseling; adolescent counseling; relationship counseling; counseling for depression, stress, and anxiety; family counseling, and others. This is an interactive course where students will gain first-hand experience through instruction, case studies, exercises and activities, role-play, analysis and assessment, feedback and discussion. One of the main goals of counseling is to help people to gain a practical understanding of themselves and their circumstances in order to effectuate positive change. To do this, the counselor him/herself must attain a certain level of self-awareness and understanding which includes an ability to identify the "blind spots", judgments, prejudices, biases, and self-interests that interfere with being an effective counselor. Over the course of the ten weeks, students will learn a variety of counseling methods, including the humanistic approach, cognitive therapy, systemic counseling, and the psychodynamic approach. Skills that will be developed include listening effectively and reflectively, building a rapport of trust and openness that fosters two-way communication, developing an empathic mind state, providing useful feedback and advice, and understanding and extending people's perspectives. Students will also learn to create a case formulation identifying key problems a client faces, and to design an appropriate treatment plan focused on achieving specific goals. Techniques for effectively teaching psychological skills and technologies to clients will also be covered. Course Title:
