PSY 668 - Professional Development and Social Responsibility II

1
This seminar continues throughout the first year and provides students with support and orientation to becoming a socially responsible psychologist. The seminar focuses on personal and professional development to help students prepare to engage in clinical work, explore their personal and professional identity, and begin to understand the impact of diversity and social justice issues on their work. Self-awareness will be enhanced through experiential exercises, readings, written reflections, and presentations. The same seminar students continue together throughout the first year, and in this small-group environment, students are expected to engage in personal exploration and prepare to demonstrate and apply professional skills in their academic and clinical work. Additional topics in ethics, socially responsible practice, professional standards of psychology and personal growth, and stress-management, wellness, and self-care will be included.
