This is an advanced course in reading, understanding, and applying theories of counseling and psychotherapy. It was designed to stimulate multiple aspects of learning experiences: introduction to contemporary theories, review of empirical evidence, session role-play, and development of theoretical orientation. Through the course, students are expected to synthesize theoretical, empirical, practical, and personal information about change to further formulate their theoretical orientation. Therefore, this course has two learning goals, including: (1) gaining knowledge of counseling theories, and (2) learning to apply knowledge and experiences to formulate personal theoretical orientation.
