Have you ever wondered if the sociopath you see in the movies qualifies for an actual mental health disorder? Or if there are people who actually experience seeing things like a talking dog?  We'll answer these questions, using the diagnostic criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM 5), and my experience as a licensed clinical counselor, in this fascinating and informative class.

This class is ideal for learners who have an interest in abnormal psychology and human behavior. Every class, I use an engaging lecture-style presentation, with google slides and polls to encourage learner participation. An outline/handout is also created for each class to help learners to follow along. No prior psychology experience is needed for this course.

While chat box participation is welcomed, research informs us that learners understand, retain and recall information better when they are relaxed.  With this in mind, I don't call on students to participate.  Opportunities are provided, but students can relax knowing they won't be called on or put on the spot.

Optional homework application assignment, and final exam available upon request.
