Prerequisites: PSYCH 100 ,, PSYCH 211 , PSYCH 280 , PSYCH 340 , and at least junior standing
Developmental psychopathology is a subfield of psychology that integrates principles of clinical and developmental psychology. Developmental psychopathology provides a unique perspective that facilitates the assessment, treatment, and research of traditional clinical problems. This course will examine the origins and course of psychopathology across childhood and adolescence and will focus on several of the most common clinical problems in children (i.e., depression, conduct problems, peer rejection, etc.). For each problem domain, discussion will focus on the continuity /discontinuity of the disorder across development and the challenges presented by each clinical PSYCH issue.
