PSY 821 - Neo-Adlerian Theory: Integration of Adlerian Theory with Evidence Practice

3
This course will teach how many of the current theories and evidence-based practices complement and support Adlerian theory and practice. Students will learn how master therapists in most approaches focus on the relationship, social connection, schemas, and behaviors just as Adler did. This course will teach students how to integrate Adlerian theory with interventions and strategies from cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, Young’s schema therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, emotion focused therapy, and positive psychology. Students will learn advanced conceptualization of human behavior that can lead to seamless implementation of interventions that master therapists apply consistently.

Prerequisites: PSY 710, PSY 711.
