PSYC 405 - DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOPATHOLOGY

Hours: 5
This course addresses what happens when development goes awry. The course examines patterns of abnormal development, including developmental delays and behavioral, learning, and emotional problems in childhood and adolescence. Through the examination of theoretical models, hypothesized causes, symptom configuration, and common treatment or interventions, this course introduces students to the myriad of ways in which development can be adversely affected and/or corrected. Models of risk and resiliency will be explored to address the variety of outcomes observed in children who are at high risk for developmental problems. The nature/nurture debate is confronted as students explore multifactorial, dynamic, and systemic models of child development and developmental psychopathology.
Prerequisites: PSYC 210.
