FP 503/603—Field Practicum

This course is designed to integrate clinical experiences in the field (a 100-hour practicum) with the study of counseling and psychology in the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to present their clinical work while rigorously protecting client confidentiality, and to discuss their work in light of the theories under examination this semester.  This second semester of Clinical Seminar will focus on creating effective counseling interventions and expand upon formation of the therapeutic relationship from Clinical Seminar I, as applied in clinical practice. Each class will allocate 50% of class time for group consultation focused on the students’ concurrent clinical work in the practicum setting.  The seminar is limited to ten students to ensure sufficient individual attention to supervision needs.
