The emphasis is both intellectual and practical. Students are required to acquire the skills and knowledge of the therapeutic process and the practical application of those skills through live role-plays and video-tapes of their counseling sessions. Specific attending skills and therapeutic skills will be demonstrated in class by the professor and also through video presentations. Students will be evaluated on their counseling skills and the therapeutic process through the video-tapes of their sessions and on course tests. Prerequisite: PY331
