Abnormal Psychology
Prerequisites PSYC300 Theories of Personality.
Teaching Organisation 3 hours per week of lectures and tutorials, 2 hours
per week in laboratory.
This unit deals specifically with psychopathology in terms of theory and research
pertaining to the topics covered. The unit considers aspects of methodology
in research in psychopathology, and presents models of aetiology in abnormal
behaviour. The unit is not aimed at the discussion of treatment per se, although
treatment issues are discussed as they relate to aetiology. Although there is
some emphasis on the description of various disorders, including diagnostic
categories, the unit is not aimed at students becoming diagnosticians. The unit
does not attempt to cover all areas of psychopathology but rather selects out
across the areas to highlight different theories and research.
