COUN 515 Psychopharmacology

In this second graduate-level course of a two-part Psychopathology and Psychopharmacology sequence, students learn core skills in case conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment planning, while developing an understanding of developmental crises, disability, psychopathology, psychiatric medications, and situational and environmental factors that affect both normal and abnormal behavior. Students achieve this objective by completing a series of case studies using the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), with instructor feedback provided before students begin the next case study.
