There is an emphasis placed on the interconnective nature of physiological, cognitive, social, emotional, personality, and moral development. Students will analyze major theories, from infancy to old age, and their application in working with people across the lifespan, describe multicultural implications (including issues of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, immigrant status, history, trauma, etc.) and explore how creative art therapists and counselors can promote optimal development when working with clients.
