CNS 310 Models of Helping Skills

This is a preparatory counseling course. The aim is to introduce students to skills needed to function as effective helpers in a helping relationship. While the course offers an introduction to current treatment approaches, specific theories of helping and practice models are also presented. The course re-emphasizes skills in attending, listening, responding, and other interviewing skills learned. Throughout the course, each approach is viewed from a historical, cultural, spiritual, and philosophical perspective. Students demonstrate each theoretical model and assess its potential for incorporation into their developing counseling style.  Course Prerequisite(s) – Junior Status, HSV 200, HSV 202, HSV 206
