PSY 415 Contemporary Clinical Interventions

This survey course will give an overview of research-supported psychological interventions in clinical psychology. We will explore the history of psychotherapy, the core components of behavioral and cognitive interventions and the “new wave” of acceptance and mindfulness-based therapies. In addition, we will discuss other contemporary developments in clinical psychology, such as transdiagnostic treatments, the use of technology to increase access to mental health care, research support for these new movements and the future direction of clinical interventions.
