HSC 550 Grief and Loss Counseling

This course is designed for master's level counseling students for the study of grief and loss counseling. Coping with loss and grief is a normal part of living. Although some clients enter counseling with the understanding that they are having difficulty with unresolved current or past losses, more often clients are unaware that their physical, emotional and psychological symptoms and complaints are related to an unresolved loss. This course will help counseling students to identify the potential connection between a client's symptoms and unresolved loss and to provide effective treatment for the client. The process of mourning and models of grief counseling and grief therapy will be presented and analyzed to promote greater understanding of how to facilitate bereavement in uncomplicated grief and how to conduct psychotherapy with complicated grief. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
