513 Comparative Theories of Personality & Psychotherapy

This course provides an overview of personality theory.  Its purpose is to provoke critical thinking (often outside the box), stimulate further study, and inspire a lifelong attitude of questioning, evaluation and change as new paradigms and information present themselves.  A corollary goal is to work toward optimizing clinical interventions by complementing Adler’s Individual Psychology with the techniques and strategies informed by other schools of thought.  A related major purpose of this course is development of your own “good theory,” a personal theoretical perspective which is consistent with your own worldview and counseling style. This class is also online.
