| Course Description: |
Managing Professional Relationships --- Effective leadership is effective relationship management. This course is designed to help managers think and act effectively to build high quality relationships with others. For individuals, high quality relationships generate and sustain energy, equipping people to do their work, and do it well. High quality relationships offer other benefits as well. In a world of continuous change, downsizing, and a press for speed, high quality relationships enable effective individual growth and adaptation to change. Research on managerial effectiveness and derailment also suggests that successful managers are skilled at understanding, managing and leveraging high quality relationships with others. High quality relationships also facilitate the speed and quality of learning, particularly where knowledge is tacit as opposed to explicit. In organizations where knowledge is the basis for competitive advantage, high quality relationships between people enable more effective individual and organizational learning. Finally, in the new economy and free-agent nation, individuals? commitment and identification with their work organization is no longer a given. Organizations can no longer trade employment security for cooperation and commitment. High quality relationships in organizations build individual commitment and cooperation. Managers of the 21st century need to be effective at building high quality relationships for themselves, and enabling the creation of high quality relationships for others. |

| Course Description: |
A "decision" is a commitment to a course of action that is intended to produce outcomes that are satisfying to particular people. Decision making plays a prominent role in the phenomena addressed in many disciplines. PhD students who want their research to make significant contributions to understanding those phenomena would do well to become aware of current as well as classical developments in decision psychology. PSYCH 722 is intended to help students achieve such awareness.
The lectures for the course are shared with PSYCH 449 (whose description prospective PSYCH 722 students should consult). The elements of the course that are unique to PSYCH 722 are evident in the discussion sessions, supplementary readings, and course requirements. The most critical of the latter are students reflections' on readings and their course projects, which entail the assembling of an annotated bibliography on a decision or decision-related topic of the student's choosing. |

| Course Description: |
The course will review the major theoretical models, assessment strategies, and treatment modalities of behavior therapy. The syllabus will initially introduce behavior modification within the context of traditional psychology and review its underlying assumptions. Basic principles of classical and operant conditioning and social learning theory will be described, and the respective paradigms will be extended to explain the mechanisms and remediation of childhood and adult psychopathology including marital and family dysfunction. Recent trends in behavior therapy, including the growth of cognitive schools of behavior change and the application of learning principles in the investigation and treatment of a wide variety of medical disorders, will follow. Finally, a critical evaluation of behavior therapy and relevant ethical concerns will be discussed. Student evaluation will be based on three examinations and a behavior modification project. |
