Have you ever wondered what causes someone to become super paranoid? Or why someone might actually believe the planes they see overhead are spying on them?  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.  

We'll cover all new disorders that are not covered in Science of Abnormal Psychology and Mental Health, my other 8-week abnormal psychology class.

This class is ideal for learners who have an interest in the branch of psychology called abnormal psychology. Every class, I use an engaging lecture-style presentation, with google slides and polls to encourage learner participation through the chat box. An outline/handout is also created for each class to help learners to follow along. No prior psychology experience is needed for this course.  I have another Abnormal Psychology course which covers different disorders, and doesn't need to be taken prior to 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.
