1. Course Description: This experiential and didactic course provides students an understanding of effective interventions from individual, relational, & systems perspectives. Students also examine personal characteristics and their effect on individual, couple, and family counseling using case discussion and analysis.
2. Rationale: This course addresses the need for students to have curricular experiences and demonstrate their knowledge in the common core area of “helping relationships”. The ability to integrate and apply an understanding of the theories and techniques to one’s personal and professional life is critical in counselor development.

Accordingly, this course exposes the student to clinical issues related to the delivery of effective counseling. Extensive uses of online resources and situational role plays will help the student learn the essential skills involved
