courses

The courses I am teaching this year are:
  • PSY5401HS - Abnormal: Advanced Psychopathology / Abnormal Psychology
  • PSYB32H3 - Clinical Neuropsychology
  • PSYC31H3 - Clinical Neuropsychology

The study of abnormal psychology is a search for why people behave, think, and feel in unexpected, sometimes bizarre, and typically self-defeating ways. Much less is known than we would like. However, this course will focus on the ways in which psychopathologists have been trying to learn the causes of abnormal behaviour and what they know about preventing and alleviating it.

Clinical neuropsychology is an applied science concerned with the behavioural expression of brain dysfunction. In this course we will first examine the brain and localization of neuropsychological function. We will then explore the science and practice of clinical neuro-psychology where tests measuring different neuropsychological domains (e.g., memory, attention and so on) are employed in patient populations to infer brain dysfunction.
