2 (x4) units

This course focuses on professional development, self-as-the-therapist issues, consultation, clinical case presentation skills, and timely documentation of requirements related to graduation and licensure eligibility. Students receive consultation from their instructor and feedback from other students on clinical cases from the field placement settings. Students formulate and present cases using a variety of psychotherapeutic models with attention to sociocultural and contextual issues and recovery-oriented principles. Online format programs must register for PSY 662 for two units each term, over a period of four consecutive terms (8 units). Students must obtain a placement in an approved clinical setting, with a signed, written agreement on file. Clinical hours gained and documented appropriately while enrolled in practicum count toward MFT and LPCC requirements. Prerequisites: PSY 600, 606, 612, 623, 637, 639, and 661.
