This course has been replaced by 18:820:508.
-
18:820:503 - Theoretical Foundations: Analytical
The model of human functioning offered by psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory, with a focus on understanding the person in the context of the life history. A goal for the class is for students to obtain "psychoanalytic literacy," familiarity with terms and concepts from this tradition that the students will encounter in a variety of contexts throughout their careers.

-
18:820:506 - Social and Developmental Foundations of Human Behavior
This course is designed to provide students with an integrated overview of the social and developmental foundations of human behavior. It is difficult to understand any human behavior--either or atypcial--without employing a developmental perspective. Likewise, human behavior is largely influenced by social factors and processes. These influences on human behavior wane and wax over a period of time, with time defined variously (i.e., historically, chronologically, biologically, and/or other experience-related time scales). Furthermore, these influences are not uniform across subgroups and across different contexts. To pull together these various issues, a lifespan systems perspective will be utilized to examine contemporary, as well as classic issues in social and developmental psychology.
-
18:820:507 - Learning Theory & Cognitive Behavioral Foundations
Introduces students to cognitive-behavioral and learning theories, concepts, principles,and strategies, especially as they apply to psychotherapy.

In addition, they will learn to generate, from a learning theory perspective and a cognitive theory perspective, explanations of(case formulations of) (case conceptualizations of) (interpretations of) human events, through modeling, rehearsal, and shaping. Finally, case conceptualization skills from a CBT standpoint will be emphasized.
-
18:820:508 - Systems Theory & Analysis
What is systems theory? Systems of psychology. Learn about how systems concepts are used in cognitive psychology and as a theoretical foundation for work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
What are the social impacts when systems fail? Social aspects of behavior. Use systems theory to better understand and deal with the social forces that affect clinical psychologists and their clients, contributing to individual differences in behavior, human development, psychopathology, cultural and individual diversity, systems of oppression, and health disparities.
What can we do to fix it? Dissemination and implementation science. Become familiar with the systemic factors that affect the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based treatment programs and clinical interventions. Become familiar with the organizational dynamics of schools, clinics, hospitals, and other human service organizations where clinical psychologists work.
-
18:820:509 - Analytic Foundations
This course is designed to introduce students to fundamental tenets of psychoanalytic theory and therapy, with an emphasis on clinically relevant models and concepts. Examines ways in which practitioners working in the psychoanalytic/psychodynamic tradition think about the people we work with, the nature of their distress, and the potential benefits of psychoanalytically informed treatment.

Students will learn to distinguish between respondent and operant models of behavior and conditions. Concepts and principles of behavior including reinforcement, punishment, stimulus control, verbal behavior, and motivional operations will be defined and discussed in the context of behavioral learning theory in order to establish a theoretical foundation for applications in advanced-level courses.
-
18:820:514 - Applications of Behavior Analytic Principles: Changing Behavior
Presents information on the applications of behavior analytic principles in changing behavior. Specifically, students will learn to select behavior targets for change, to establish and strengthen behavior, and to weaken behavior. Strategies for strengthening behaviors include a review of reinforcement, prompting, commonly used instructional approaches (e.g. DTI, incidental teaching), delayed reinforcement systems (e.g., token systems, contracts), and self-management approaches. Strategies covered for weakening behavior include extinction, differential reinforcement procedures, positive punishment procedues (e.g., aversive stimuli, overcorrection), and negative punishment procedures (e.g., time-out, response cost). Significant time is spent on discussing the ethics of behavior reduction and the negative side effects of the use of punishment procedures. The application of these principles in changing behavior will be illustrated through reviewing a variety of books and articles, which highlight the breadth, power, and ethical considerations of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in this context.

Specifically, students will learn the methods for obtaining descriptive data and the procedures for conducting systematic manipulations, such as functional analyses (FA). Variations of FA procedures will be described, including brief FA and procedures that are easier to implement in natural settings. Specific single-subject experimental designs will be reviewed in the context of FA. The ethical considerations inherent in behavioral assessment, treatment, and research will be reviewed. A variety of articles describing state-of-the-art methods for FA will be assigned and discussed.

What would it look like for all learners to have equitable, fair, and just opportunities for success in school? By taking this course, students are invited to understand the multidimensional, dynamic concepts of oppression and marginalization and their role in education. We will adopt an intersectional perspective that recognizes multiple social categories and the associated power imbalances within them, while also centering race as a focal point of analysis. We will investigate pervasive narratives about the educational experiences of historically marginalized groups, explore what sustains those narratives, and identify ways to disrupt them. We will analyze policies and practices that hold promise for addressing systemic inequalities in education. Finally, we will engage in and value sticky dialogues about (in)equity, marginalization, and (anti)racism, and think critically about our own personal assumptions about and experiences with these topics.
