Developmental Psychology Across the Lifespan: A Drama Therapy and Clinical Perspective

This graduate-level course examines human development from prenatal life through late adulthood through a clinical, trauma-informed, and experiential lens. Students explore biological, cognitive, psychosocial, and ecological influences on development and learn how these principles directly inform therapeutic and helping practices.

Rather than relying solely on lectures or exams, this course emphasizes applied, embodied learning. Students demonstrate their understanding through virtual sand tray work, expressive arts activities, guided reflection, and APA-formatted professional writing that integrates developmental theory with real-world clinical practice. Each module intentionally bridges research and application, supporting students in translating developmental knowledge into meaningful, strengths-based interventions.
