Course Description
This course deals with the nature of neurotic behavior, abnormal
behavior and the psychoses. Particular attention is given to
ego-defensive, adaptive and sociocultural aspects of behavior
and ways in which adaptive behavior becomes symptomatic. The
historical contexts in which psychopathology has been diagnosed
and viewed historically from early medical concepts through the
currently used Diagnostic Criteria, DSM-IV, are presented. Case
studies provide experience in classifying, diagnosing and
categorizing various mental disorders. Discussions of treatment
of mental illness include psychopharmacology, prevalent
psychotherapies used in individual, family, couple and group
psychotherapy and current research findings related to
treatment. This course utilizes films, tapes, case studies,
class presentations, lectures and group discussion.

Course Content
This course will familiarize you with the language and
categories of psychopathology as described in DSM-IV. We will
use case material to discuss the uses and limitations of
psychodiagnosis, especially vis-a vis etiology and treatment. I
will try to make this course as enjoyable and relevant as
possible. We will be using your own experiences and questions as
well as a wide variety of resources to learn the material. By
the end of this course you will know how to diagnose and develop
treatment plans (holistically)
In addition, this quote from a former students in the class (C.
David Frese) may help you to understand what my approach is
like.
“Irle, this is what I think you really want us to get out of
the class.”
. (PS I agree, IG.)
“ Look, people. What I want you to do here is to think about who
you really are as an individual. I want you to learn about the
continuum of the psychotherapeutic tradition because you will
become part of this tradition, and the larger view is fun and
important and informative. To me, this is tremendously exciting,
and I’d like it to be exciting to you as well. I’d like to
expose you to some of the ways that people actually do therapy,
and to see which appeals to you and which doesn’t. I want you to
absorb the materials and form opinions about them. I don’t care
if your opinions differ from mine, as long as they are informed
opinions. I want you to feel the theories and put them together
in a framework that you feel like you own, rather than they
owning you. Understand that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way,
as long as you act responsibly and authentically… “
.
Course Objectives:
1. To familiarize students with the structure and language of
psychodiagnosis and the DSM-IV.
2. To present etiological, philosophical, personal and treatment
perspectives- including biological, psychological, family
systemic and socio-cultural perspectives for many of the
categories of mental disorders.
3. To introduce students to the process of diagnostic thinking,
interviewing, mental status exam, and evaluating a client's
strengths and talents in relationship to their weaknesses and
difficulties.
4. To help students to understand and explore the uses and
abuses of psychodiagnosis.
5. To create a safe and open atmosphere for discussion and
participation which will allow for the exploration of the
nature of psychotherapeutic change across the psychopathological
landscape.
