This course places modern psychotherapy (and assessment) within its social and historical context by examining the various and continually evolving relationships between the "healer" and the "sufferer." The course begins with a review of the history of "abnormal" behavior from ancient to modern times, followed by a discussion of the emergence of modern psychotherapy in the late 19th century. World War II witnessed the rise of Psychology as the recognized professional body for psychological assessment and treatment. Numerous approaches to psychotherapy were soon developed, including behavior therapy, humanistic psychology, Gestalt therapy, cognitive therapy, systems therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (among others). The course concludes with an analysis of the current conditions of clinical therapeutic practice in North America, and a return to the question of the sufferer's relationship to the healer. Throughout the course, emphasis is given to the various individual and cultural influences that have characterized the story of clinical psychology so far, and how this narrative is connected to the larger social and historical conditions of Western societies.

This course helps students identify and evaluate various types of arguments couched in ordinary language. Different types of errors of reasoning are critically evaluated, such as argument from authority, begging the question, faulty causal correlation, appeal to emotions, inadequate sample, and deceptive use of statistics. The course aids the student in recognizing occurrences of these fallacies, and the conditions for logical error and weak argumentation in general. Emphasis is placed on the identification of weak arguments and the construction of strong arguments. Examples for critique and counter argument are derived mainly from the popular media.
