This course introduces the concepts related to the classification of psychopathologies across the lifespan, emphasizing the DSM-5 and other classification systems. Students gain an in-depth familiarity with how psychological disorders are conceptualized and diagnosed and develop a strong understanding of the essential features of psychopathologies which occur across the lifespan. Significant emphasis is placed on a thorough analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of diagnostic systems, examination of categorical versus dimensional understandings of psychological functioning, and exploration of the historical and societal factors that have influenced, and continue to influence, how clinical psychologists conceptualize psychopathology. Students are also introduced to the rapidly growing field of developmental psychopathology, a theoretically and empirically-based framework that provides a unifying perspective for understanding the onset and development of both health and clinical disorder across life. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Thursday 08:30AM - 11:15AM, Memorial Hall, Room 104
