CLIN656 Spanish for Clinicians
The main objective of the course is to introduce students to the basic and essential clinical vocabulary, cultural considerations, and clinical skills required to work with Spanish-speaking clients. This course will emphasize skills common to all theoretical approaches, such as developing a therapeutic relationship; conveying warmth, empathy and genuineness; eliciting appropriate information; defining a presenting problem; assessing risk factors; being culturally-sensitive and appropriate, and managing transference and countertransference. Clinical examples and assignments will include diverse clients from varying identities.
