GPS 516 - Advanced Abnormal Psychology II

This course is a continuation of GPS 515 with the focus on adult psychopathology. Initially the focus will be on the study of several theories regarding adult self-development and psychopathology. The DSM IV-TR will be utilized to understand the classification and typologies of disorders. The goal of this course is to give students a sense of the phenomenological experience of the person living with a disorder, along with a grounding in developmental theoretical constructs that make the disorders more meaningful clinically.

GPS 515.  Course open to degree students only or with permission of the Director.
