高校選択科目心理学（パート 4/4）

This is part four of a four-part full curriculum high school psychology elective. In this 6-week course, learners will continue their study of psychology by exploring psychological disorders, therapies and treatments, stress, and health.

Information will be presented on interactive Nearpod slides and learners will have many opportunities to delve deeper into content through discussions, polls, and a variety of activities. Learners will be encouraged to ask questions and make connections to their own lives throughout the course. 

Week 1: Perspectives on Abnormal Behavior (historical and cross-cultural views, major models of abnormality, how stigma relates to abnormal behavior, impact of psychological disorders on the individual, family, and society)
Week 2: Categories of Psychological Disorders (classification of psychological disorders, challenges associated with diagnosis, symptoms and causes of major categories of psychological disorders)
Week 3: Perspectives on Treatment (how psychological treatments have changed over time and among cultures, methods of treatment)
Week 4: Therapies and Treatments (categories of treatment and types of treatment providers, legal, ethical, and professional issues in the treatment of psychological disorders)
Week 5: Stress (stress as a psychophysiological response, coping strategies to deal with stress)
Week 6: Health (behaviors and attitudes that promote health, factors that promote resilience and flourishing)

Learners do not need to have prior experience with psychology to take this course, however, I highly recommend taking "Psychology in Society - High School Elective (Part 1 of 4)," "Psychology in Society - High School Elective (Part 2 of 4)," and "Psychology in Society - High School Elective (Part 3 of 4)" prior to taking this course. This is part four of four courses that will cover the American Psychological Association's standards for high school psychology curricula.

CLASS RECORDING POLICY: When you enroll in this class, you are paying for the live class, just like if this were an in-person class. I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners—many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child, and to maintain the experience of the class—this class has been designed for a live experience that includes video and interactive slides. Watching a recording while simultaneously attempting to independently navigate the slides and activities will not result in the same experience.
