This course is designed to provide students with the listening skills necessary to establish a helping relationship, to promote the personal growth and development of people they will see in their future clinical work, and to help clients as they establish goals in their lives and re-vision their stories. The work in this class will take off from where we left in Counseling Skills I and emphasizes moving beyond hearing the client?s story to helping clients see their strengths and develop visions for their future. We will move beyond atheoretical microskills and begin learning skills based in Brief Solution Focused Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and include the use of additional skills including metaphors, bibliotherapy, and paradox. Lectures, small group role plays and practice, reading and developing increased awareness of self in relation to these skills and theoretical approaches will all be the foundation of this course.
