View all CPY classes

Presents group and interpersonal processes as models for both psychotherapy and for integrating spirituality and religiosity into professional psychology. Group psychotherapy provides a particularly rich medium for exploring the theological position of healing as an incarnational process of reconciliation to self, others, and the sacred, in the context of community. The course offers a foundation in the theory and practice of group psychotherapy, basic competencies in conceptualizing clients’ spirituality, and personal integration of spirituality in professional life. Pedagogical strategies emphasize experiential group processes and student facilitation in addition to didactic strategies.
