As you are getting into the first lectures of the course, we wanted to start with giving you some idea of what to expect in regards to content and structure.

This course has been built around a "practitioner–scholar model" of instruction.

In that, it is our desire that this course imparts a lot of practical application points for those who work as behavioral health providers.

But students of this course should know that the curriculum also includes many lectures that focus on research/scholarly articles and other resources, as it is also our desire to help form the thinking/conceptualization process of our students as they consider developing their own frames and methods for the integration of Narrative and Story into the counseling/psychotherapeutic process.

Continuing education (CE) hours for article reading will be calculated using the NBCC and ASWB model of 1,500 words equals 0.25 clock hours.

This course has been designed for practitioners at the graduate level or higher. And though all helping-professionals, and even those just interested in the topic, are welcomed to take this course, please note that research, as well as application, will be explored through the curriculum.
