PSYC 101-001 — Introduction to Psychology
T TH 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m., BA 005
Dr. David Clement
This course provides a broad coverage of all the basic areas in psychology, at an introductory level. You are expected to learn the vocabulary of the discipline, some of the basic research knowledge in the field, and the types of professional activities going on in psychology. In addition, you will be encouraged to apply the things you are learning in trying to understand and predict your own behavior and the behavior of people around you.

The course begins with coverage of the scientific bases of psychology, the biological bases of behavior, and the principles of the development of behavior, from infancy through aging. It goes on to include perception, learning, and memory. This is followed by coverage of intelligence, the principles of motivation and emotion, and personality. The final section of the course deals with social psychology, abnormal behavior, psychotherapy, and other applications of psychology.

Obviously, there is a wide variety of topics presented, with the type of material changing rapidly from week to week. Most students find some areas quite interesting (and other areas at least acceptable!), and many students find applications of the material to their everyday lives.

T TH 8:00 a.m. - 9:15 a.m., S 112
Dr. Kendra Cusaac
This survey course is an introduction and designed to provide students with a broad range of information about sexuality. This course has four major objectives:
  • To provide practical information needed for everyday living and to deal with problems in sexual functioning.
  • To help students appreciate the diversity of human sexuality among many dimensions including age, sexual orientation and identity, ethnicity within the United States, and cultures around the world.
  • To help students feel more comfortable with thinking and talking about sex, both to minimize their own personal anxiety about a tension-causing topic and to help become responsible decision makers in this important aspect of their lives.
  • To familiarize students with methods used in research on sexuality, and particularly with problems inherent in some of these methods, so that they can read research reports critically and intelligently.

Prereq: PSYC 101 or SCCC 130

Dr. Diane Follingstad

The only prerequisite for this course is Psychology 101, although it is useful for students to have had even some of the 226-228 course sequence. The course is presented in several segments. The initial segment provides the groundwork for the course by focusing on the issues of defining abnormality, historical aspects of the field, the basic theoretical models which influence assessment, diagnostic considerations and treatment of individuals with disorders and general causes. The largest segment of the course reviews the many major diagnostic categories, addressing everything from prevalence, description, etiology, and treatment of the disorders. The final segment focuses on the impact of psychopathology for the community and society. The aim of the course is to provide frameworks for understanding the development of disorders and how they fit on the continuum from normal to abnormal. Videoclips, movies, roleplays, and demonstrations are part of the classroom experience to enhance the lecture material.

This upper-level course is designed to introduce students to the major issues in the assessment, diagnosis, classification, and treatment of childhood psychological disorders. Although a broad range of disorders (e.g., ADHD, autism, depression, eating disorders) will be covered in the class, we will also focus on issues that have recently received media attention. Examples include bullying and school violence, the use of psychiatric medications in children, and the long-term effects of exposure to natural disasters or sexual abuse. The course will be taught in a seminar format and will encourage the development of critical thinking skills. Therefore, emphasis will be placed on class participation/discussion, in-class activities, writing, and reading original journal articles. Grades will be based on three exams and a variety of writing assignments, mostly brief. Students will be able to earn extra credit through class participation.

This practicum class focuses on working with families through the Psychological Services Center (PSC). Clients are recruited by the PSC, direct referrals to me, or for family therapy from other programs, such as the after-school program. Students receive about 2.5 hours a week of supervision, with one hour of individual and 1.5 hours of group supervision on a typical week. Students develop their own treatment plans and are exposed to transtheoretical therapeutic skills and specific evidence-based interventions in group supervision. Students are encouraged to provide services in the clinic, in the client's home, and at school, when necessary. Students are expected to consult with teachers and other professionals, when appropriate. Students are expect to average six direct contact hours per week.

In the Fall of 2006 enrollment in Psychology 782 will be limited to four graduate students in the department of psychology. All enrollment must be approved by the instructor. Prerequisites include successful completion of Psychology 720 or the equivalent.
