  • CAMS-UA 170: While You Were Sleeping

    4.00 Credits
    New York University

    Sleep is somewhat akin to the ocean-it surrounds us, and we could not live without it, yet it remains a mystery whose secrets we are only now beginning to unfold. Scientific research into sleep and dreams began in earnest about 50 years ago. Since that time, the small and burgeoning field of sleep medicine has taught us a great deal about how and why we sleep. This course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to sleep and dreams throughout the life cycle. Our study includes a focus on normal sleep behavior and physiology, the evolution of sleep, circadian and biological rhythms, dreams, and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Through exercises and assignments, students learn about the importance of sleep for mental and physical wellbeing and how to best establish a healthy sleep routine.

  • CAMS-UA 204: Advanced Seminar: Family Systems and Child and Adolescent Mental Health

    4.00 Credits
    New York University

    Until the mid-20th century, the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and mental health were dominated by individually oriented theories of human experience, development, and psychopathology. Family systems theory emerged as a response to the limitations of that paradigm, offering a radically different way both of thinking about individuals and doing psychotherapy. This emerging model views human experience as irreducibly relational. From a systems perspective, an individual is always an individual embedded in networks of significant relationships, the most central of which is the family. This course presents family systems theory as a powerful tool for understanding families and for working with children and Minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies adolescents and includes various clinical experiences. Special emphasis is placed throughout on multicultural dimensions of theory and practice.
