Advanced Marriage & Family Counseling (CO521)

DESCRIPTION

This elective course builds on concepts and principles developed in the required course CO325, Marriage and Family Counseling. In this course we will review and further explore how marriage and family relationships work using a family systems model. The goal is to fully know and understand how the therapist uses the whole-person experience of therapy to help clients, so that the student will be able to apply concepts learned to the practice of counseling couples and families.

Counseling Internship II (CO543.1)

DESCRIPTION

This course is a supervised field experience for students pursuing a counseling career. This spring course is a continuation of CO541 in fall. There is a total time commitment between the two courses of a minimum of 600 clock hours for the academic year including a minimum of 240 client hours. Students are required to hold liability insurance throughout the course. During Internship, students are required to meet weekly with their CTS faculty supervisors for individual supervision and group supervision, during which they will review client cases, evaluate session recordings, create therapeutic plans and explore Biblical concepts and practice techniques of counseling for use with clients. Supervision from both CTS faculty supervisors and site supervisors involves observation of counseling, role play, and video presentation of sessions. Students skills will be assessed at the end of the semester using the CTS Intern Evaluation form. At the end of the spring semester, students will submit their Philosophy of Counseling paper, their own cohesive counseling model which draws from previous curriculum experience in the program and practical application with clients.

How can varied church ministries intentionally engage people in a teaching/learning process to grow towards maturity in Christ? This course explores some central issues involved: biblical and theological foundations of educational ministry, teaching and learning theories and methods, human development, intercultural dynamics in teaching and learning, curriculum planning, administration, and team building. We will make specific applications to a variety of ministries, accounting for children, youth, adult, senior adult, intergenerational events, and small groups.
