This course has been replaced by 18:820:508.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. Topics include: the unconscious, dreams, defense mechanisms, psychodynamic understandings of personality, research in psychoanalysis, the integration of attachment theory into modern psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and applications of the theory with examples from everyday life and from clinical practice.

18:820:504 - Theoretical Foundations: Cognitive-Behavioral

An introduction to the theoretical foundations of the cognitive-behavioral paradigm for understanding human action. Included are the paradigm's behavioral roots in learning theory and its cognitive roots in theories such as Aaron Beck's. Cognitive-behavioral concepts will be learned and applied to formulate case examples from the clinic, schools, the community, businesses, and the students' own lives.

18:820:505 - Cognitive and Affective Psychology

Reviews selected theory and research in the areas of cognitive and affective psychology. Format will be a mix of lecture, formal presentations and class discussion based on assigned readings, formal presentation, and demonstrations/activities.

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. Students will become familiarized with several theories, techniques, and strategies that form the basis of most CBT approaches. 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 videotape an initial session with a client conducted from a psychodynamic framework and write a case formulation of that client.

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.
