MCP 520 - Psychopathology and Diagnosis

3.00 credits.
The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the theories and underpinnings (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, and sociocultural) of psychopathology. We will discuss existing classification systems (e.g., DSM 5) and their strengths and limitations. We will apply concepts of normal and abnormal behavior to case formulation, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Throughout, we will consider issues of cultural bias and sensitivity in the diagnosis of psychopathology. Fall semester.
