This course focuses on psychotherapeutic management of psychiatric disorders and behavioral/mental health problems, with an emphasis on early diagnosis and the appropriate treatment of “at risk” populations, and the use of psychopharmacotherapeutics across the lifespan.  Current research and epidemiological trends in psychiatric mental health care are utilized for the selection of relevant constructs to be addressed and therapies to be explored.  This didactic course is coupled with the clinical course providing laboratory and clinical settings allowing students the opportunity to provide examination and application of individual, family and group therapies across the lifespan.
