DPSY 701

DPSY 701 Advanced Psychopathology is an advanced course on psychopathology, emphasizing the conceptual foundations for research on the psychological treatment of major mental disorders, the long-term course of illness and functioning of treated individuals, and unexplored areas that require further research. This course examines long-term studies on psychoses, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and substance use disorders, among others, as well as unresolved issues in diagnosis and treatment. Students also learn about topics in psychopathology that are considerably understudied to understand the shape and focus of outcomes research as influenced by breakthrough findings on antecedents, risk factors, and effect modifiers (Formerly DPSY 701 Psychopathology).
