Models include psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive behavioral, person-centered and systems approaches. These theories are examined in their historical context, followed by a critical analysis of their key constructs and applicability. The second half of the semester examines the construction of effective treatment intervention based on evidence based practice.
