In a four quarter sequence, students meet on campus to discuss training experiences and progress at their practicum training site during their first year of practicum training. Students receive feedback on cases with the goal of integrating theory with practice to supplement direct supervision received by site supervisors. Seminar discussion focuses on psycho-diagnostic formulation, case conceptualization, treatment processes, and review of peer cases. Administrative and organizational issues are discussed to develop a professional attitude and capacity for problem solving.
