PSY 711 - Adlerian Therapy II: Psychodynamics of Psychopathology and Interventions

3
Adlerian II explores the psychodynamics of psychopathology and development and maintenance of symptoms given the recursive influence between society and the individual. Students will learn to connect the Adlerian conceptualization of psychopathology to the practical application of Adlerian approaches to psychotherapy. Emphasis is placed on the roles of the therapist and the client throughout the four stages of Adlerian therapy. Focus is on interventions that are congruent with the theoretical assumptions, such as social interest, and empirically supported practice toward comprehensive, culture-specific treatment planning.
