Course Overview and Objectives: This course provides students with an overview of evidence-based assessment and treatment, and a focus on Clinical Supervision/Consultation. An emphasis is placed on cognitive/ behavior therapy for child, adolescent and adult psychological clinical cases using an Acceptance and Commitment based framework. The specific goals are: 1) to gain skills in developing comprehensive clinical case conceptualizations 2) to gain specific knowledge of cognitive/ behavioral principles and acceptance-based frameworks underlying treatment for a variety of clinical concerns; 3) to learn how to formally present clinical cases with constructive feedback; 4) to gain experience using video-taped sessions & supervision; 5) to gain experience teaching specific assessment/treatmentstrategies to fellow students; and 6) to gain confidence and skill as a scientist-practitioner in effectively conducting assessment and treatment for a variety of psychological disorders. Assignments: Class Participation and Clinical Case Presentations (25%) Class participation is an important component of this class and includes being actively involved in class discussions, role-plays, techniques, and/or debates. Students will be concurrently involved in a clinical placement at the BTPC and providing treatment for a variety of mental health issues. Each student will be encouraged to provide 1) at least one video-taped session of a clinical case; 2) at least one presentation of a specific in-vivo technique; 3) at least one formal presentation as a member of a Vertical Team. Video Taped Clinical Session (25%) After receiving client consent, you will video tape a clinical session and prepare to share your work with fellow classmates. Video technology should be checked prior to class and it is your responsibility to make sure it is functioning properly for review. For confidentiality purposes, tapes, cd’s, or dvd’s should be destroyed immediately after class. Demonstration with In-Vivo Techniques (25%) This In-Vivo class demonstration will involve teaching a class for approximately 30-45 minutes. During the first part of the demonstration you should briefly review the state of the art treatment for an area of clinical concern, followed by a critical evaluation of one or more recent treatment outcome studies. Remember to emphasize the strengths and limits of knowledge regarding socio-cultural factors (e.g., race, gender, socioeconomic status). The second part of the demonstration involves teaching the class a therapeutic technique using live role-plays of a session(s). Techniques may include, but are not limited to: cognitive-restructuring, interoceptive exposure, in vivo exposure, narrative exposure, trauma- focused CBT, parent-training techniques, creating a hierarchy, systematic desensitization, DBT and ACT skills. Creative teaching is encouraged. Additionally, props or “field trips” can be used to enhance learning about in vivo techniques. You are welcome to suggest additional readings on your topic. Formal Vertical Team Presentation (25%) Each Vertical Team will have the opportunity to present a formal presentation. You should participate in this presentation, using the BTPC vertical team power point framework as a guide. Also, a constructive feedback form will be used by your classmates in order to enhance learning.
