Evidence Based Practice for Children's Mental Health - UW Graduate Course Series

Psychology 543.  Evidence-based Practices: Extreme and Complex Cases
Winter Term - Thursdays 2-5pm

This course will provide students with an in-depth review of the range of evidenced-based treatments appropriate for some of the most complex cases – children and adolescents with behavioral and psychiatric disorders who are involved with multiple service systems, including mental health, juvenile justice, chemical dependency, school, welfare systems and/or state protective services. The focus is on youth from late childhood through adolescence and their families and care providers. The emphasizes a practical approach to acquiring the necessary skills as well as touching on the major theoretical issues underlying the EBT’s with this population. The aim of the class is to provide students not only a practical understanding of the common elements of the EBT’s, but will also provide hands on practice of several of the skill sets required to implement these treatments. Particular emphasis will be placed on skill sets arising out of the following EBT’s: Multisystemic Therapy, Family Integrated Transitions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. 

If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the course, please contact the instructors: Dr. Wayne Smith (wrsmith@uw.edu) or Dr. Terry Lee (drterry@uw.edu).
