PY 667 - Psychopathology I (3)

The first of a two-course sequence which integrates two dimensions of conceptualizing and diagnosing the most prevalent mental conditions. The first dimension examines paradigms used to understand psychiatric disorders, including their etiology, maintenance, and social implications. The second dimension provides a familiarization with the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders, with a consideration of individual differences. Upon completion of this first course in the sequence, students will: have practiced creating a formal diagnostic impression, be able to appropriately code and document the most common conditions, and begin to implement these skills in practice. Prerequisite: PY 621 .
