This clinical workshop is designed especially for NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselors. It is aimed at presenting the most current thinking in psychodynamic theory and therapy. It is not within the scope of their license for MHCs to do psychoanalysis proper, but psychoanalysis as a body of literature, theory, research and conceptualization is useful to the practicing MHC in doing counseling and psychotherapy across a range of settings and with varied populations.

In this course we will read a range of papers and chapters beginning with a historical perspective on multicultural counseling and proceeding through a sampling of major theoretical and practice models leading up to the most recent work and research in the field of mental health counseling and psychotherapy within a multicultural framework. The discussions each week will take up what is unique or innovative in multicultural counseling and with clinical illustrations/examples presented by participants.
Psychotherapy within an interdisciplinary approach provides the space to explore the mind-body-place of a person's life experiences within relationships that are contributing to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We explore the following practice-based orientations: Talmudic Halacha, Architectural Psychology, Art & Humanities, Psychodynamic & Cognitive Psychotherapy, and the Natural Sciences.
This course covers models, theories and practices of mental health counseling and its application to professional settings. It also considers various theories of counseling and issues in the practice of professional counseling and supervision. We will consider the key concepts of each model, theory, and application practices. Strengths and limitations of each approach are also explored as well as the impact of these theories on people diagnosed with mental health disorders.
