Designed to provide a working introduction to the ethical issues, principles, and techniques of psychotherapy and supervision. Additionally, case conceptualization, designing intervention plans, and active listening skills are introduced and practiced. Individual psychotherapy with adolescents and adults will be the primary focus of this aspect of the course.

This course is designed to provide students with a context for supervision and consultation through sharing with each other their experiences with various clients, providing peer supervision to each other (with the instructor in the room), receiving immediate feedback from the instructor regarding their supervision of each other, and receiving feedback from each other, at the end of the course.

Introduces major statistical methods used for the data analysis of multiple measures. Includes elementary matrix algebra, multivariate regression (canonical correlation; multivariate analysis of variance and covariance; and discriminant analysis and classification), correlational methods (principal components and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis), and the analysis of multivariate contingency tables using log-linear models. Emphasizes concepts, issues, and examples over mathematical derivations. Prerequisite: PSYC 7710-7720 or equivalent.

Analyzes current theory and research in social and personality developments from infancy through adolescence. Prerequisite: Instructor permission.

Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling provides an introduction to statistical modeling with latent variables and multivariate outcomes. Path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, multivariate regression, growth curves, and longitudinal mediation and moderation will be covered using the free open source OpenMx software running in R.

This course prepares graduate students to create and deliver effective oral presentations of their research. We will focus particularly on longer-format presentations. Topics covered include clarity before semi-professional audiences, effective use of graphics and other supporting materials, and different methods of presenting complex data.
