PSYCHOLOGY

Description:

Since the Viet Nam war, our culture has become increasingly familiar with the terms trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But what is trauma, exactly, and what are its effects? Is the nature of the trauma (type, duration) related to its impact? As a discipline, what do we know about the onset, duration and prognosis of PTSD? What do we know about the experience of PTSD? This course addresses these questions and considers both intrapersonal (biological and cognitive) and interpersonal dimensions of trauma. On sufficient demand.
