GPSY 859 - Holistic Theory & Practice

1 credit(s)
This course overviews integral psychology and yoga philosophy as foundational theories to guide holistic clinical conceptualization and practice for psychologists in health service settings. It reviews conceptualizations as grounded in comprehensive, culturally competent diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, and treatment plans, each adapted to the unique individual and collective circumstances of the client or community of interest. Clinical practices are selected or developed to acknowledge that clients or communities are complex organisms with individual and collective subjective experiences and objective realities that combine to influence developmental trajectories, physical and biological realties, social structures and expectation, relational choices and priorities, and values-based meaning.
