  • SW 365: Addiction Studies

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Humans are an intensely curious species. This trait has led us to discover substances which make us feel calmer, more alert, more powerful, more connected to or more distant from our surroundings. Today we live with a wide array of drugs that affect mind and body. Whether we desire to feel light-headed, euphoric and relaxed or have our senses heightened there is a psychoactive drug available to alter our consciousness. Some of these drugs, such as alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and inhalants, are legal in our society. Others such as stimulants, narcotics, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, and prescription drugs for mood disorders, are legally restricted. When used appropriately many of these substances have the capacity to enhance our lives. Inappropriate use, however, carries the risk of addiction - often accompanied by personal, social and economic decline. This is an introductory course in the field of addiction studies. In this course we will examine the relationship between drugs and behavior, the personal and social concerns of drug-taking behavior and how drugs work in the body and mind. Legal and legally restricted drugs as well as medical drugs will be discussed. We will also cover issues of prevention, treatment and education. By the end of this course students will understand (1) the differences between use, abuse and addiction to drugs; (2) the extent of substance abuse in the United States today; (3) the legal, social and cultural ramifications of substance abuse; (4) methods of treatment and prevention of substance abuse; (5) major classifications of addictive substances; and (6) how drugs work in mind and body. This course will be a mix of lecture, discussion, videos and other supplemental materials. In addition to their competence papers, students will work in small groups on projects related to addiction and will present their group's findings to the class. Competencies: A-3-X, H-2-A, H-3-F, S-2-C, S-3-B. Faculty: Robert Mills

  • SW 366: Expressive Arts Therapy

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Expressive Arts Therapy is a multi-arts approach in which different art modalities are woven into the therapeutic process as appropriate to a client's situation. It is grounded not in any particular techniques or media but in the capacity of the arts to respond to human suffering. Various arts--poetry, movement, drawing, painting, journaling, improvisation, music, and sculpture--are used in a supportive setting to facilitate growth and healing. Expressive arts processes have been used successfully in almost all psychotherapeutic contexts, ranging from work with the severely ill to the facilitation of human growth and potential. There is a growing use of the arts in health education, hospice work, and in community art projects especially after catastrophic events. The class will be conducted in a workshop format in which theoretical content will be combined with experiential learning. Lecture, discussion, audio-visual presentation, experiential exercise, guest speakers, and field trips comprise the structure of the class. Competencies: A-2-A, A-5, H-3-X, S-3-B.

  • SW 371: Dinosaurs

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Dinosaurs are one of the most diverse and successful groups of vertebrates in earth's history. Originating over 220 million years ago, they dominated earth's land biomes for over 150 million years and diversified to include the largest land animals in earth's history, a wide range of acquatic groups, and even a diverse clade capable of flight (the birds). Consequently, mammals remained in the background as small nocturnal creatures during the dinosaurs long reign. Only after a cataclysmic extinction event 65 million years ago involving most dinosaurs groups did the mammals diversify into modern groups including our own primate lineage. This course will introduce students to the remarkable dinosaurs, tracking their origin, surveying their success, and evaluating their decline. Learning will emphasize investigation of the forms, function, and variation within the major dinosaur groups as well as the connections of dinosaur evolution to diverse factors such as climate change, ecology, biological competition, and mass extinction. The course learning activities will encompass discussions, readings, lectures, labs, internet resources, museum resources and original inquiry. Competencies: S1B, S2A, S4. Faculty: Kevin Downing.
