Emotion: An Integrative Framework for Child Psychotherapy
[12 Credits]
Feb 22 - Mar 14, 2010
Emotion is the common ground of contemporary child psychotherapy – and our common language in talking with children. This course will review recent advances in the psychology and neuroscience of emotions and then explore how a systematic focus on the child’s emotions helps solve some of our most persistent clinical problems: how we can engage more children in treatment, unlock vicious cycles of defiance and withdrawal, and provide the kind of understanding – to both parents and children - that promotes openness, initiative, and pro-social character development.
