Course description
This course will focus on various paradigms for conceptualising mental wellbeing and psychopathology. A biopsychosocial model for assessing the mental health and wellbeing of clients will be emphasised. Students will be encouraged to consider the use of psychological testing in counselling and the major classificatory systems for mental disorders as well as develop an understanding of the major disorders.
