Additional topics may include experimental and clinical measures of brain functioning and cognitive maturation and decline across the lifespan. Critical thinking about brain-behaviour relationships will be emphasized. |

This skills course is designed to equip students with the basic interviewing and psychotherapy skills necessary to intervene with a variety of clinical problems. Students will develop interviewing skills using a micro-counselling approach involving instruction, modeling, and role-playing feedback. They also will develop psychotherapy skills that can be employed across techniques. Students will implement these skills by conducting three 50-minute sessions with undergraduate volunteers in which they will define the problem, establish therapeutic goals, and make recommendations for intervention. Students also will learn about empirically-supported therapies used to address common psychological problems in adults (e.g., depression, personality disorders). |

The skills course will survey issues and procedures involved in the treatment of common child and adolescent emotional and behavior problems. Students will develop basic interviewing skills needed for interactions with children ranging in age from early childhood to adolescence and with parents, teachers, and others who may effect change in a child. The focus will be on developing basic skills that can be employed across techniques. Students also will learn about empirically-supported therapies across a range of modalities (e.g., individual, family, group) that are used to address common problems (e.g., anxiety, depression, behaviour difficulties). The course may take various formats depending on the instructor, student enrolment, and availability of volunteers. |
