IS 342 - Behavior Disorders of Children and Adolescents

Institution:

Avila University

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore behavior disorders of children and adolescents from the perspectives of the fields of psychology and education. Students will study various disorders and their associated behavioral patterns, causes, sustaining factors, and treatment. Historically, there has been little collaboration and cooperation between education and psychology regarding understanding and treating these troubled youth. The intent of this course is to create a dialogue between these disciplines. Typically education has focused on the immediate, external, concrete solutions to these problems whereas psychology has taken a more abstract, holistic, and internal approach. Our goal in this course is to present a balanced perspective which incorporates the most beneficial theories of etiology and treatment for each discipline. CORE-III.
