CED 528 - The Art of Counseling

Credits: 3
Note Counseling Students only.
Recent research on various topics in counseling (family counseling, diversity training, empathy) supports the notion that tapping into the creative arts and media can be a useful technique in providing experiences and information about counseling skills and personal development. This course will study and interpret various art forms in order to examine their impact on becoming a more effective helper. Students can expect to critique or create fiction, poetry, music, contemporary movies, and sculpture to access their aesthetic and creative counseling abilities.
