Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn
Week ten is a synchronous week, with class on 11/01. The readings will be about cognitive theory. Further description and slides to come.
Unit Assignments
Reading
- Read Cooper and Granucci Lesser’s (2022) Chapter 9 Cognitive Theory: A Structural Approach
W-10 A-01: Asynchronous Participation and Engagement
The expectation is that each of your replies will be substantive and provide meaningful perspectives, contributing to the forum’s conversation and scholarship. They can be related to the prompts or building on conversations shared by peers. There are three forums for this week, and you are expected to make at least three replies across any of the forums. These forums include the following:
- The reflection questions for chapter nine explore the case study.. Students can consider her irrational thoughts and schemas, some considerations for how you could help her dispute her thoughts, what positive psychology could add to the case, and what role the relationship has.
- The reflection on your own thoughts forum asks students to spend time documenting their thoughts and feelings in a log and share about the impact doing a task has on themselves.
- The forum on considering dysfunctional thinking offers space for students to consider how we explore client experiences for dysfunctional thinking and what examples we might find in practice.
