Prerequisites: 472, 520 (MA students only). The history, theory, methods, and applications of group psychotherapy are examined, discussed, and demonstrated. The development of competency in group methods is enhanced through didactic presentation, role-playing, and participation in an ongoing group. The class meets as a group in an unstructured format. Students process their experiences in the here and now. The aim is to help students become more comfortable with themselves and, therefore, learn to relate more effectively and creatively in the group setting. (3 credits)
