Assessment and Initial Intervention of Individual and Relationship Disorders

The main thrust of this course is to introduce the student to the common disorders encountered in the Philippine clinical counseling setting. The course is a weekly discussion on the individual disorders that may contribute to dysfunctional relationships. It will be complemented by a weekend module tackling the disruptive issues of the relationship disorders such as infidelity, separations and the ineffective patterns that may develop in the family system. Brief lectures, case studies, actual assessments and film clips will be used for experiential learning.
