Evidence-based Interventions

Permission of the instructor is required for enrollment in this course. This course will provide a detailed overview of evidence-based psychological interventions for common adult disorders (with some overlap into adolescent/childhood disorders). Empirically supported treatments and cognitive-behavioral approaches will be particularly emphasized. Major topics covered in this class will include: perspective on valid assessment; intervention approaches with empirical support; differing modes of treatment (i.e., couples therapy, group therapy); and the application of empirically supported treatments in various settings such as those found in medical primary care and mental health center sites.
