PSY2223: Personal and Clinical Applications of Positive Psychology

This course is designed to introduce students to the latest thinking in the study of positive psychology. In this class, gratitude (appreciation), compassion, and forgiveness as practices will be highlighted. We will explore the use of gratitude (appreciation), compassion, and forgiveness as positive emotions throughout the full cycle of successful therapy—from creating rapport through assessment and goal setting to intervention and feedback. Finally, students will be expected to understand the use of gratitude (appreciation), compassion, and forgiveness in their own lives.
