PSY 542 Seminar in Clinical Psychology

3 Credit(s) W-III

This seminar provides an opportunity for intensive study, in a small-group setting, in clinical psychology. Students will read and analyze advanced clinical literature and will engage in a substantial amount of informal and formal writing. Through revision of written work (based on feedback from peers and instructors), and through discussion of writing processes and conventions used by psychologists (e.g., from the publication guidelines of the American Psychological Association), students will learn to express themselves more effectively. Students will reflect upon the ways that writing can support learning of advanced concepts in the subfield of clinical psychology. The specific topic will be announced in advance. Three lecture hours per week.
Prerequisites: WII, PSY203S, PSY215, and at least six credits of PSY courses numbered 300-399 or permission of Department Chairperson.
