PY 650 Treatment of Childhood Externalizing Disorders

3 credits
The course provides students with exposure to current empirically supported psychotherapies for childhood externalizing disorders and related conditions. Topics include the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of common childhood disruptive behaviors (e.g., tantrums and hitting), ADHD, oppositional-defiant disorder, and conduct disorder. This course combines lecture, discussion, and small-group learning activities. Students complete assignments designed to help them practice child/caregiver interviewing, case conceptualization, treatment planning, and applying therapeutic interventions from treatment manuals. Students read from a variety of treatment manuals and practice skills repeatedly via role-play.
