PSYCH 367-0 : Child Psychopathology


Description

This course examines the major psychopathologies of childhood and adolescence. Various theories for the etiologies of child and adolescent psychopathology are considered, and the implications for diagnosis, consultation, and treatment are also addressed. Since this is an upper-level research course, students will develop research skills by exploring the empirical research in the field. Each student will also develop an independent research proposal as a final project for the class.

Course assessments include two short case papers, co-facilitating class discussion, and the final research proposal.

Prerequisites: PSYCH 205-Research Methods. PSYCH 244-Developmental Psychology and/or PSYCH 303-Psychopathology are highly recommended.
