Problem-solving interventions across the life-span at the individual, family and community level using behaviour analysis principles.
This is a one-semester, 15-point course in the application of problem-solving interventions of a behavioural and/or cognitive-behavioural kind. Such interventions may be applied across the life-span from infancy to old age and at the individual, family/group and community level. These applications and interventions studied are evidence-based and draw on the principles of behaviour analysis, social learning theory, and cognitive-behavioural theory/therapy.
Students who successfully complete this course are expected to be able to(a) analyse problems using the conceptual framework provided by behavioural analysis/cognitive-behavioural theory;(b) plan “in principle” problem-solving interventions which embody evidence-based principles;(c) structure interventions so that outcomes may be scientifically evaluated using appropriate research designs; and(d) relate specific problems and interventions to current relevant theory and research.
