The main function of this course is to introduce the major theories of counseling and psychotherapy, their background or history, the theories of personality from which they are derived, and their applications to counseling practice. The course also includes consideration of professional and ethical issues in counseling. In addition to learning about established counseling theories, each student will have the opportunity to develop her/his own counseling theory. Class time will be divided among lecture presentations, viewing of videotapes of various counseling approaches, and small group discussions and activities. As a result of this course you will: Be exposed to a variety of ethical and professional issues in counseling and develop positions on some of these issues. Study the ACA and/or APA ethics code(s) and have your own copy of them for future reference. Gain basic understanding of the theory, practice, and application of varied approaches to counseling. Form your own personal theory of counseling. Develop skills in self-evaluation, writing and critical thinking.
