Course Description:
This seminar will take on clinical psychology from a public health, global, and multicultural perspective. Over the course of this seminar, class meetings and materials address macro level factors that impact the mental health of groups and individuals. Class discussions and readings will focus on social determinants of mental health, the role of cultures and identities in clinical psychology more broadly and community-based interventions and global mental health perspectives. On an individual level, how do these and other macro factors impact psychological assessment and therapy? How can therapy be culturally adapted for specific groups and people? How can mental health be improved by focusing on these "upstream" variables? The study materials are varied, and this seminar is discussion and process focused. |
