This course will offer an opportunity to explore clinical interventions with children and adolescents within the major contexts influencing their development and mental health – their families, schools, communities, and legal system. Emphasizing the fact that children and youth are particularly susceptible and dependent upon their environments, this course will attempt to provide the student with an appreciation of how these influence a child’s personal identity and actual behavior as well as an understanding of the need to take these into account in developing viable clinical interventions.
