Spring 2017: Psychology 543A, Advances in Child Clinical Psychology

The course is currently set for Thursdays from 2-4:50pm (SLN 18844)

The upcoming Psych 543 course for Spring 2017 will provide students with an in-depth, hands-on introduction to evidence-based, cognitive behavioral treatments (CBT) for children and adolescents with anxiety-related disorders, with an emphasis on treating child traumatic stress.  The course will highlight specific components of treatment that are common across most cognitive-behavioral interventions, with specific training provided in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).  Students will learn the fundamentals of how to assess and treat anxiety and trauma in children.  The course will also focus on adaptations to match client presentation, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, and treatment setting. This course will include an integration of theory and practice. The cognitive and behavioral techniques that compromise the majority of evidence-based treatments for children and families will be presented in assigned readings, via the web-based training program, and modeled during class meetings.  A significant proportion of the course will involve behavioral practice opportunities conducted via role-plays in the classroom in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Practicing skills as homework will also be encouraged  Students will demonstrate competency on a subset of the skills via in-class skills demonstrations, and feedback from both the instructor and students will be given.  Students will also be required to complete the TF-CBT Web online training program in TF-CBT. Please contact the current instructor, Georganna Sedlar, at grs1@uw.edu for an add code or further information.

LOVE & SOLIDARITY: Rev. James Lawson and Nonviolence in the Search for Worker’s Rights

Tuesday, February 7, 2017 • 6:45 pm • Free Admission

LOVE & SOLIDARITY is an exploration of nonviolence and organizing through the life and teachings of Rev. James Lawson. Lawson provided crucial strategic guidance while working with Martin Luther King, Jr., in southern freedom struggles and the Memphis sanitation strike of 1968. Moving to Los Angeles in 1974, Lawson continued his nonviolence organizing in multi-racial community and worker coalitions that have helped to remake the LA labor movement. Through interviews and historical documents, acclaimed labor and civil rights historian Michael Honey and award-winning filmmaker Errol Webber put Lawson’s discourse on nonviolent direct action on the front burner of today’s struggles against economic inequality, racism and violence, and for human rights, peace, and economic justice.

There will be a 15 minute film introduction and a 30 minute post-film discussion with director Michael Honey.

Presented in partnership with Center for the Study of Community and Society at UW Tacoma, UWT Black Student Union, Meaningful Movies Tacoma, and Immanuel Presbyterian Church Tacoma.
