This course is a conceptualization skill enhancement course designed for counselors, clinicians and helpers who are practicing or in training. The course will offer a chance for participants to see world renowned therapists in action (on tape), treating a variety of issues commonly seen in counseling. In addition to learning how to treat specific problems, different therapeutic approaches used to treat the issues will also be covered. Class will consist of watching experts in action followed by a discussion involving the skills, techniques and approaches to treating problems in counseling. The unique experience of watching doyens in the field use proven approaches and deal with obstacles we face in everyday counseling situations is an invaluable way to learn and enhance our own counseling skills. Additional readings for each topic to enhance your knowledge and skill, to work with specific problems in counseling will also be offered.
Practicing clinicians, counselors, trainees in the field of counseling/therapy/helping. This is not a beginner's course and past coursework and/or experience in counseling is necessary for the course to be beneficial to you. This course is a rare opportunity to witness counseling done with real clients by expert therapists who we only get to read about anecdotally. In addition to seeing them do counseling, focused readings on the various topic areas and fruitful discussions geared towards enhancing skills and learning make this a unique course. The opportunity to learn will also occur through role plays and discussions of real client situations based on the Indian counseling context. This course will not have an exam but a paper that be due based on knowledge gathered in the course. It also offers ongoing supervision and skills-based feedback to participants throughout the course duration.
