Prerequisites: Theories of Personality or Abnormal Psychology; Psychopathology (CLP 5166) or permission
of instructor if student is in an allied health service field or graduate program.
Course Overview/Learning Objectives:
This critical graduate course will examine various theories of healthy and disordered psychological functioning,
and explore some of the many methods mental health professionals use to treat psychological distress. The
course is designed to convey to counselors-in-training the basic concepts and change strategies of
"traditional" post-psychoanalytic methods of psychotherapy, as well as more recent methods and
intervention/ practice standards. Although it is not a counseling practicum, this overview course will provide
student counselors with both theoretical and pragmatic knowledge so they may begin to form individualized
conceptions of psychological health, disorder, and how people change. Students will be expected to establish
a formative understanding of the therapeutic relationship and change strategies while exploring their own
values and beliefs through readings and exercises. Students are not expected to emerge from the course with
a preferred, crystalized theory or approach to helping people - this in fact is discouraged at this stage of
training.
Specifically, course participants will learn about:
 prominent psychological theories of human thought, emotion and behavior
 the importance of establishing therapeutic relationships regardless of theoretical approach or
technique
 primary concepts and strategies from several perspectives that seek to explain the etiology,
description, assessment and treatment of psychological disorders, including approaches that
emphasize cognitive, social, interpersonal, and humanistic facets
 the existence and utilization of empirically validated (evidence based) treatments
 the complexity of conceptualizing human thought, emotion, and behavior in health and in distress
 the role of self in the therapeutic process, and the importance of integrating theories of change with
self understanding
Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
 identify characteristics of both psychological health and distress/disorder
 identify and differentiate various theories of counseling and their accompanying interventions
 conceptualize therapy cases from different perspectives
 identify treatment approaches that are theoretically and pragmatically useful, and formulate how
these might be integrated into their
interpersonal style
 locate information on empirically validated treatments for various disorders
 locate and assign appropriate self-help readings to clients as homework
 utilize clear and professional language in all written course products (e.g., adhere to APA style; multiple
paper assignments and 1 presentation)
Course Policies and Grading
Class attendance is expected each week and your contributions to class discussion and questioning are
encouraged. More than one absence is considered excessive. Attendance at class is your responsibility.

Guidelines for Paper Assignments
For all writing assignments, use a title page and number your pages. Citations, when needed, should follow
APA format / publication manual. For example, if quoting from your reading, you must cite the page(s)
numbers where the passage was found.
Guidelines for Research Paper Assignment:

APA format, following publication manual. 10 pages of text minimum; try to keep length under 15
pages but consult me if you want more space.

Specific paper idea due in writing to me by the midterm date; all topics must be approved by the
instructor. Papers are due near the end of the semester (see weekly course schedule) with a 5-point
penalty for each day the paper is late, including weekend days. Papers will not be accepted after our
last class meeting. Presentation in class of paper highlights with accompanying resources (e.g., clinical
guidelines, resources, or references) is required.

The best papers are well-organized, easily read, contain correct spelling and proper grammar, and use
at least 10 scholarly reference sources (e.g. journal articles, books). The paper will be evaluated on
four weighted criteria:
o

Resources for Success in the Course:
1. UWF Student Handbook: The Student Handbook is available in the Division of Student Affairs and contains
information vital to success in the academic environment, with a listing of resources and policies that affect
you as a student. You are advised to obtain and read the handbook with special emphasis on the sections
involving academic conduct and classroom behavior.
2. Study Guides and Strategies: The Study Guides and Strategies website has a huge store of resources for
students to support development of study skills, note-taking skills, taking tests, preparing for tests, writing
skills, learning strategies, research skills, project management, and more.
3. Academic Integrity: Each student is encouraged to access the plagiarism tutorial offered by the university
library. This tutorial provides an excellent overview of proper citation and quotation of the work of others, as
well as examples of proper and improper citations and quotations, and strategies to avoid plagiarism.
Cheating on any test, term paper, or other assignment will result in an automatic 0 and will likely result in
failing the class; this is a serious ethical and professional failing; see UWF's detailed policies on academic
dishonesty and misconduct for more information. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, that process
may result in additional penalties such as a failing grade for the course, or even suspension or expulsion from
the university.
Class Comportment: You will also be expected to refrain from any behavior that disrupts or interferes with the
class, and to refrain from any behavior (e.g., cell phone use) or expression that might be offensive to a
member of the class. To assure an atmosphere conducive to learning that maintains the dignity of and respect
for all parties involved, all discussions will reflect courtesy even though there may be disagreement. Each
student is expected to respect people in class and out regardless of their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
social class, and religious or political affiliations. There shall not be ad hominem attacks on the character of
others when engaged in questioning, debate or class discussions. Students will be expected to adhere to the
university statement on expectations for academic conduct and classroom behavior, as published in the
Student Code of conduct, posted by the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Storms and Other Disasters:
Hurricane Season extends through the month of November, which covers almost the entire fall semester.
With an approaching storm, the university will announce its plans for closure. Decisions regarding closure of
the university will be made as the track of the storm becomes more apparent. Please pay careful attention to
the UWF announcements on the main university website or on WUWF FM radio (88.1), as well as local media
sources. These informational sources should also be consulted if other natural or human-instigated events
occur.
Course Withdrawal: The deadline for withdrawing from a course with an automatic grade of "W" is posted on
the Registrar's Academic Calendar. Students should review the university policy on course withdrawal.
Withdrawal from a course after the posted deadline requires approval of the student’s academic advisor,
course instructor, department chairperson, and the Academic Appeals committee. Requests for late
withdrawals may be approved only under unusual circumstances, which must be documented, such as a death
in the immediate family, serious illness of the student or an immediate family member, call to military service
or National Guard duty.
Students with Alternative or Special Needs
If you have a need for any in-class accommodations or special test-taking arrangements, please get in touch
with me at your earliest convenience. Students with special needs who require specific course-related
accommodations should contact the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC), (850) 474-2387. DSS will
provide the student with a letter for the instructor that will specify any recommended accommodations.
