Full description:	Course introduces topics concerning main aspects of psychological counseling. We start from discussing counseling definition, its forms, counselor’s role and ethics. Crisis intervention, rehabilitation, psycho- prevention and psychotherapy are discussed within evidence based major approaches in counseling (e.g. psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, cognitive-behavioral, systemic and postmodern models). Each approach is presented including its concepts explaining symptoms development, counseling principles, specific therapeutic techniques and their limitations. In general presented approaches keep historical order of their development, addressing differences and similarities between them, finishing with the idea of integration in counseling. We discuss specific settings and principles of family, couple and group counseling with their use in rehabilitation and prevention counseling. Presented issues are illustrated with counseling cases and session videos.
