This course reviews major theoretical approaches to psychotherapy with adults including approaches from within the psychodynamic, existential, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioural and person-centered traditions. The theoretical foundations of these traditions are explored along with relevant evidence which speaks to their efficacy in the treatment of various psychological problems experienced by adults. Students gain experience in case conceptualization and intervention within each of these theoretical traditions. Moreover, students are encouraged to draw on the conceptual and empirical research base (or lack thereof) that informs our understanding of the impact of social and cultural factors on therapeutic effectiveness. Students are encouraged, through reflection and attention to theory and evolving evidence, to consider how clinical psychologists develop cultural sensitivities and competence in their ability to consider cultural factors when developing working alliances, conducting assessments, and delivering evidence-based interventions. This includes an ability for students of all backgrounds to draw on an awareness of their own cultural values and group affiliations and how these may influence their clinical practice. Ethical issues which are likely to emerge in clinical work with adults are discussed. 10-01-2023-11-04-2023 Lecture Tuesday 09:30AM - 12:20PM, Memorial Hall, Room 104
