PSYC 312 - Child Psychopathology in Context

Type of Course: Graduate Seminar
In this course, we will approach child and adolescent psychopathology with special attention to how difficulties in adjustment and mental health develop over time. We will pay special attention to the risk and protective factors associated with various problems of living and problems of adjustment. In addition, we will take a contextual or ecological approach to developmental psychopathology –that is, we will consider the relevant contexts in which the problem develops and in which intervention or treatment should be pursued (e.g., families, schools, neighborhoods). In turn, we will discuss the utility and effectiveness of various treatments and interventions including individual therapy, group therapy, family approaches, and within-school prevention and intervention.
