The relationship between consciousness and physical, mental,<br />

objective brain and body functioning and subjective states of mind<br />
and consciousness. The 16 units in this specialization allow<br />
students to explore the fascinating implications of the<br />
mind/body/spirit equation in terms of physical health,<br />
psycho logical well-being, and personal longevity.<br />

Counseling Psychology<br />
Master of arts Program<br />
Encompassing the mission of <strong>John</strong> F. <strong>Kennedy</strong> <strong>University</strong> and the<br />
College of Professional Studies, the Master of Arts in Counseling<br />
Psychology program supports student learning and faculty<br />
involvement that integrates academic endeavor, clinical practice, and<br />
the unique development of each student. The goal of the program<br />
is to develop excellent future practitioners. The program and<br />
experienced faculty achieve this by providing intimate classroom<br />
learning experiences, offering hands-on supervisory feedback in<br />
clinical practicum settings, and encour aging personal exploration<br />
and growth in the student’s own psychotherapy experience.<br />
Graduates of the program proceed to licensure and professional<br />
positions providing mental health services in a variety of settings.<br />
The necessity of post-degree learning is encouraged and<br />
emphasized.<br />
The MA degree program in Counseling Psychology with an<br />
emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy is designed to prepare<br />
students for future clinical practice as marriage and family<br />
therapists (MFTs) in both private practice and community-based<br />
agencies. The curriculum covers a breadth and depth of core<br />
knowledge and skills in the field through a variety of theoretical<br />
orientations to therapy. The program is committed to interweaving<br />
essential themes such as community mental health practice,<br />
cultural diversity, systemic thinking, collaborative treatment,<br />
wellness, resiliency, recovery, and the impact of social stressors<br />
throughout sequential coursework. Additionally, the program<br />
encourages students to increase their self-knowledge through an<br />
ongoing examination of their own values, beliefs, cultural<br />
backgrounds and contexts, abilities and growth areas. The guiding<br />
philosophy of the program resides on the perspective that achieving<br />
proficiency in these areas prepares future clinicians to provide<br />
effective culturally-sensitive services for a wide range of clinical<br />
situations, from those that may be brief to those most severe,<br />
co-occurring and persistent. The program teaches and trains future<br />
clinicians through a combination of didactic and experiential<br />
classroom learning and supervised intensive fieldwork. The<br />
program reflects contemporary issues in the field and essential skills<br />
of effective practitioners.<br />
This innovative, applied, 87 unit program is composed of three<br />
phases: Phase I (coursework), Phase II (field placement,<br />
coursework, and written comprehen sive examination), and Phase<br />
III (field placement, coursework, and oral comprehensive<br />
examination). Successful completion of each phase is required in<br />
order to advance to the next phase.<br />
Students have a choice of full- or part-time programs at the Pleasant<br />
Hill or Campbell campuses, including a morning option as well as<br />
the traditional late afternoon/evening program. In addition,<br />
accelerated full-time cohort programs are available at the Berkeley<br />
campus and at the Santa Cruz/Central Coast campus.<br />
The student body is highly motivated and diverse. Faculty are an<br />
experienced group of practitioner-scholars who bring current<br />
knowledge and professional experience to the classroom.<br />
