PSY 831 - Identity Development

Credit Hours: 3

This course will explore identity development and considerations in prevention and treatment research within clinical psychology. Psychology has traditionally adopted a white normative view of intervention (i.e., treatment of disorders) with less attention given to the experiences of diverse populations and the prevention of psychological suffering. Course will explore the shared and diverse experiences of multiple communities on the basis of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and neurological diversity. Prevention and intervention must consider the unique experiences of groups that have historically been underrepresented in practice and in research.

Prerequisite: PSY 830; and admission to Doctor of Psychology program or permission of instructor.
