Preparation & participation.=
Learning and teaching is a interpersonal
process. For you to learn a=
nd for
me to claim to have taught, we must be present and engaged. I understand, however, that ther=
e are
occasions for extenuating circumstances.=
Please talk with me (in advance when possible) in the event of suc=
h. Otherwise, please plan to attend
scheduled class sessions prepared and ready to discuss the material and a=
sk
questions about it. I expect
completion of all assignments and the exam on schedule unless alternative
arrangements are made with me in advance. Absences will only be excused (=
no
point penalty) in the event of a documented family emergency (e.g. illnes=
s),
acts of God (e.g. whether closing the college), or class cancellation by =
the
professor. Preparation &
participation earns a total of 300 points.
Re=
search
Paper and Report: Choose a cl=
inical
area of interest to you and develop a topic accordingly. Then conduct a
review of the current mental health literature and write a literature rev=
iew
paper based on this topic. =
Based
on the literature you find for this topic, what is your position? How does the literature fit with=
your
preferred theoretical orientation and ideas about this topic? What does the literature tell yo=
u and
what have you gained by this exploration? How has this affected the way you
approach this issue/population?
The research paper may include references to b=
ooks,
but it must include citations (at least 8) from professional counseling
journals. Authors are urged=
to
use caution with (that is avoid) Web based information (i.e., websites).<=
span
style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> When used, they must be properly
cited, and discussion should include bases for inclusion of such citations
(i.e., what makes this a valid source of information). Authors will follow APA guidelines f=
or
formatting. Write t=
his
paper as though you intend to submit it to a journal for publication. The paper will be graded for qua=
lity
as well as content. It shou=
ld be
well written, and professionally presented. Late papers WILL BE ACCEPTED UP =
TO ONE
WEEK AFTER THE DUE DATES. A PENALTY WILL BE ASSESSED. All papers must be
typed (computer preferred), double spaced on 8.5x l1 paper, font 12, using
writing style and referencing suggested in the American Psychological
Association (APA) Manual, 5th ed. Copies of this Manual a=
re
available in the Bookstore.
Total assignment is worth 400 po=

Case Pres=

Students will present (informally) cases for discussion at throug=
hout
the semester. This will be =
done
in a clinical supervision format.
=
Case presentations worth a total=
of
300 points.
Think of this cours=
e as
your opportunity to explore and grow as a counselor and clinician. I feel strongly that the less I
structure this time for you, the more you can make the class what you
need. Bring your concerns, =
your
frustrations, your problems, and/or your experiences to class for discuss=
ion,
and together we will seek understanding.
The texts are for y=
ou. I may or may not speak directly =
to
these texts during the semester; however, I expect you to do the reading =
and
to bring questions and concerns from those readings into the discussion.<=
span
style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> These books are a resource for y=
ou as
am I. If you have a particu=
lar
area of interest, I will be more than happy to consider this for
discussion. During the seme=
ster,
we may have either planned or impromptu seminars on any relevant topic you
want or that seems appropriate or necessary to me.
