2 Credit(s)

This seminar focuses on a number of increasingly popular therapies that have emerged over the last decade and that share an emphasis on such nontraditional themes as mindfulness, acceptance, values, spirituality, being in relationship, focusing on the present moment, and emotional deepening. Students review the work of leading clinicians who provide detailed descriptions of their respective approaches, discussing theoretical and empirical bases as well as clinical methods and goals. Clinical areas discussed include depression, anxiety, couple conflict, PTSD, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
