Overview:
This two-week intensive course provides students with an introduction to psychopathology and clinical work with children and adolescents in various settings.

Theoretical constructs from developmental, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and trauma perspectives are introduced to allow the student to generate hypotheses about clinical manifestations of disorders and treatment options.  This course is conveniently offered over a two-week period in the evenings and one Saturday.
