MCP 645 - Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy

3.00 credits.

This course will provide students with an understanding of the effects of trauma on children and adolescents, techniques for assessing trauma in this population, and trauma-informed practices for use with children and adolescents. In particular, we will examine the application of trauma-focused psychotherapies in specific settings (e.g., schools, foster care) and with particular patient populations (e.g., children with developmental disabilities, youth from racial and ethnic minority groups).
