Course Overview

You receive training in sociological research methods including how to design a survey and conduct interviews and focus groups. Through modules delivered by the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, you’re introduced to key concepts of psychodynamic thinking which is relevant to counseling. You gain insight into the unconscious dynamics in individuals and groups and develop listening and observation, self-reflectiveness, and communication skills. You’re taught by criminologists and sociologists in our Department of Sociology. Our counseling experts in our Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies offer a clinical and academic approach and are acclaimed professors, clinicians, and practitioners who can offer relevant, practical experience.
