PSY-646 SOC&MULTICULT FDN PSY
Students apply their understanding of clients' cultural, historical, and sociopolitical context to develop and inform accurate assessment, interpretation, and treatment interventions. Culturally based interventions for working with diverse clients who present with a range of clinical issues are reviewed, with a special emphasis on crisis intervention and the influence of culture in the therapeutic context. Treatment approaches developed from a cultural frame of reference with attention to the intersections of the client's race, ethnicity, gender, class, acculturation level, and presenting problem are explored and applied to a variety of social settings, including assessments and interventions with children, parents, faculty within schools and human-service agencies. Materials are presented in an interactive seminar format using problem-based learning techniques and role playing. (Summer biannually)
