CSL 506 Therapeutic Techniques of Counseling
This skill development course is based on a "beginning, middle, and end" model of the counseling process that will be examined from different theoretical perspectives. This experience is intended to serve as an introduction to the basic and trans-theoretical skills and methods for initiating, maintaining, and terminating therapeutic relationships. Students will be required to explore and demonstrate basic counseling skills that are associated with each of these three stages. Emphasis will be given to skills associated with initiating, structuring, attending, listening, encouraging, supporting, confronting, influencing, problem solving, and termination.
