Description
In this course, students will build on concepts learned in Methods and Theory I, Methods and Theory II, Human Growth, Psychopathology, Movement Observation I, and Movement Observation II to refine their assessment skills in developing treatment plans consistent with DSM-5 criteria and the application of dance/movement therapy principles and interventions. The role of pharmacotherapy will be included. We will also examine clinical and treatment planning, with a focus on developing clinical writing skills as they relate to specific settings and populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and geriatrics.
