PSY 269B Advanced Counseling Practicum

This course, taken concurrent with the second semester of the student's fieldwork placement continues to guide the student in relating counseling principles and recovery oriented care to a variety of clinical settings. Advanced counseling skills and practice will be introduced during the students' face-to-face counseling (individual, couples, family or group counseling or client advocacy) and MSMU and BBS paperwork will be maintained. In addition to completing the required personal psychotherapy hours, students will also complete a written and oral analysis of a case for a Capstone Exam. The paper and presentation will integrate the content areas of the program and the BBS clinical case vignette guidelines. If the student is unsuccessful in passing the capstone exam it may be repeated only one time and must be completed within one semester of the original exam. Prerequisite PSY 269A
