Course Description
Psyche, a 20-hour course on specific mental disorders, is given in the second year in conjunction with neurology, respiratory, cardiovascular and the pharmacology of drugs affecting the central nervous system. The epidemiology, descriptive psychopathology, etiology, and prognosis of the major child and adult mental disorders are presented. The focus is on the chronic, severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, manic-depression, and alcoholism, which have an early onset and will affect as much as 20 percent of the population. Consideration of treatment is limited to elucidation of etiology. Six hours of the course are taught in a small-group format (12-15 students), which uses videotaped examples of psychopathology.
