PSY 941 - Supervision, Consultation, and Professional Practice

Credit Hours: 3

This course will examine the psychological principles and knowledge base underlying the major models and theories of individual, organizational consultation, and supervision, with an emphasis on two modes of service-related work that psychologists may be expected to participate in as professionals: consultation and clinical supervision. Within the context of consultation, students will develop knowledge and skills related to the construction, dissemination, and implementation of specialized programming offered to small (e.g. individual clients) and large (e.g. organizational) systems. Secondly, this course is designed to introduce developing clinicians to the process of supervision. Students will be introduced to and exposed to a number of theories, techniques, and processes that will help them become more effective supervisors. In addition, a number of additional topics relevant to professional practice will be addressed throughout the course.
