Psychology and Religion

Catalog description

In this course we examine the assumption that constructs and theories in Psychology and in Religion must be in conflict. We compare and contrast ideas about human nature and human conduct in each of these fields. Using the respective data bases of each of the two fields, we separate popular notions of what each approach is purported to hold, from what each field actually does hold. We search for a constructive relationship between Psychology and Religion. Prerequisite(s): PSYC 2100C or a research methods course or senior status.
