This course introduces students to the basic concepts and ideas in Humanistic and Existential psychologies, and involves applying and integrating psychological theory to personal experience. Students learn about theorists such as Jung, Rogers, Maslow, May, and Frankl, and the ways in which meaning, purpose, choice, and consciousness are fundamental to existence. The development of humanistic psychology from phenomenological and existential approaches is considered, and the differences from experimental psychologies are discussed. As ways of comprehending our lives, themes of personal ('self ') and interpersonal ('self-in-relation') experience will be explored within a larger sociocultural context. Topics may include: being/becoming, intentionality, authenticity, values, growth, agency, identity, anxiety, and transcendent experience. Since this course focuses on finding ways for students to apply psychological insights to their every day lives, experiential learning, personal reflection and class discussion will be emphasized. Active class participation is therefore essential for this course, and may involve journals, small group work, written responses to the readings, or other opportunities for personal reflection, both inside and outside of class. Three hours a week. 08-01-2024-09-04-2024 Web Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced

Building upon their undergraduate advanced statistics coursework, students learn to interpret and evaluate research designs and quantitative data analyses most commonly encountered in the clinical literature and in program evaluation. Included are epidemiological methods, single case designs, analysis of correlational data, quasi-experimental and experimental designs, structural equation modelling, and meta-analysis. Emic and etic approaches to research are discussed, and attention is paid to issues related to cross-cultural research, equivalence, and data collection with cultural minorities and vulnerable populations.

Self and Society:
This course presents students with the concepts and theories used in the study of social definitions of the Self and its relationship to social institutions and structures. Emphasis is placed on ideas regarding personality, communication, motivation, and the interpersonal forces at play in face-to-face and group processes. This course will look at key theoretical approaches to the “self” and “society” from different philosophical, ideological, and political perspectives. We will look at contemporary philosophers and theorists who have discussed the interesting, complex, and sometimes conflictual relationships that emerge when different individuals participate in societies, globally. The course offers students an introduction to the work of widely cited theorists and philosophers in the Liberal Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences who are interested in how societies are formed by the legal recognition of personhood among diverse social actors. We will also look at how and why societies shape and discipline the self. Finally, the course asks you to consider how different social actors, such as artists, attempt to blur the boundaries between the self and society.
