This course will explore contemporary topics in clinical practice. Class members discuss topics related to mental health practice from contemporary life, highlighting new, innovative or relevant issues. Students become active researchers, bridging the gap between theory, research and practice through researching literature to serve as a springboard to exploring aspects of practice. Students can develop self-efficacy by discovering resources that reflect a personal model of practice. The course discussion applies the literature to clinical practice. This course will focus on the readings of D.W. Winnicott and application to contemporary practice. (3-cr)
