PSYS801 Psychological Science I: Child & Adolescent Development
This course provides an overview of major theories of human development. The five-week section on child and adolescent development covers basic scientific knowledge and theory (e.g., 121 psychological stages, brain development, attachment, social context, emotion and cognition) as well as applying these topics to applied material (e.g., case vignettes and clinical examples). While the course is intended as a basic psychological science class, special attention will be paid to how theory and empirical knowledge is applied to practice, as well as the importance of developmental knowledge while working with clients across the lifespan.
