We will explore ways psychology can be of service in an increasingly diverse society by addressing the concepts of mental health, the mental health system and psychological counseling that are critical to the creation and maintenance of healthy communities and a more just and peaceful world. We will address theoretical and experiential aspects of multicultural and transpersonal psychology in a community context, and how psychology can contribute to the current United Nations Decade of Nonviolence. Students will learn social science research in the context of the counseling practice. Multimodal expressive arts laboratories based on person-centered psychology will be explored throughout the program.
