Introduction to Psychology
AUTUMN PN123
Monday
Tutor: Martina Carroll
This course introduces developments in Psychology through the 20th Century to the present day. It will be delivered in a very practical and fun way, making it accessible to anyone who has an interest in finding out more either personally or professionally. It will clarify the different traditions of psychology, mental health and therapy e.g. Counselling and Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
The core topics will introduce you to the wonders of the human mind. There will be lectures followed by class activities and discussion about human behaviour including individual behaviour, the behaviour of social groups and what's often considered abnormal or deviant behaviour. All of the topics have implications for understanding mental health and psychological wellbeing. These are all topics that would be studied in a Psychology degree.
