Additional Course Details: 

This course is designed to familiarize you with the vast field of abnormal psychology. Because this is an introductory-level course, you will find that we will cover a lot of topics this semester. Topics will include clinical assessment and diagnosis, problems of stress and anxiety, problems of mood, problems of mind and body, psychotic disorders, and life-span problems. Online content, lecture, videos, and case studies will complement your textbook readings and in-class experience.
