- Psychopathology

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to the scientific study of psychopathology. We will consider contemporary approaches to defining abnormal behavior and the current diagnostic system: DSM-5. For each disorder, we will examine its essential features, associated characteristics, prevalence, course, and etiology. We will also examine both pharmacological and psychosocial treatments for each disorder. This course is especially designed for students interested in clinical/counseling psychology, psychiatry, social work, neuropsychology, or other helping professions.
