  • PSYC-7650: History of War and Traumatic Stress Injuries: a Social Justice Perspective

    This cross disciplinary course represents the first-ever exploration into the perplexing history of war stress injuries and repetitive military mental health crises that have plagued generations of the warrior class and American society since the turn of the 20th century. A social justice framework is adopted when examining the underlying factors believed responsible for cyclical failures to meet mental health needs including mental health stigma, disparity, and antiquated dualistic policies of mental and physical health that negatively impact military and civilian populations alike. The aftermath of military experiences in war have traditionally had a profound influence on a broad range of postwar polices and professions such as medicine, psychiatry, psychology, social work, occupational therapy, neurology, nursing, pastoral care, journalism, sociology, history, etc. What is the likely impact from the current wars, and how might our views of mental health change?

  • PSYC-7670: Pediatric Psychology: Best Practices

    This is a general survey course in pediatric psychology. Children and adolescents present unique challenges to psychologists working in school, community, outpatient, and inpatient settings. Presenting issues may include neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism, ADHD, and learning issues), anxiety, depression, trauma, parent-child conflict, other behavioral/emotional challenges,and medical challenges (e.g., Crohn’s Disease and diabetes). Among the topics presented will include specific assessment, treatment, and intervention strategies (e.g., assessment of ADHD and autism, play therapy, applied-behavioral analysis, parent/school/physician collaboration, classroom/learning interventions, and pediatric psychopharmacology. This course aims to expand upon the teachings of PSYC-7760 (Developmental Psychopathology) as well as the program’s other courses in assessment, psychopathology, and clinical interventions.

  • PSYC-7680: Clinical Neuropsychology

    This course serves as an introduction to the field of clinical neuropsychology. Topics will cover functional neuroanatomy, the neurologic examination, the clinical interview in neuropsychology, pertinent behavioral observations (identifying neurologic signs), domains of neuropsychological assessment, how to administer and interpret the most widely used tests from each domain, and integrated neuropsychological report writing. We will review the neurologic and psychiatric disorders that frequently present for neuropsychological evaluation and the empirically supported techniques that can help manage and treat them. Subspecialties within clinical neuropsychology such as rehabilitation psychology, forensic neuropsychology, and pediatric neuropsychology will also be covered. Ethical and cultural considerations will be considered throughout the course. The emphasis on functional neuroanatomy is based on the assumption that, despite my best efforts, many of you will choose a specialty outside of clinical neuropsychology. Psychologists are experts in the study of the mind, yet few have a good grasp on the machinery that powers it. A detailed understanding of functional neuroanatomy is important for psychologists from all subdisciplines and essential to a comprehensive understanding of cognition, emotion, and behavior. This class will also focus on specific neurologic signs and syndromes such as agnosia, amnesia, aphasia, apraxia, etc. Students will acquire knowledge through lectures, video and audio case examples, explanation and demonstration of the neurological examination by a neurologist, human brain dissection (if possible), demonstration of a neuropsychological evaluation, practiced neuropsychological test administration, reviewed interpretations of neuropsychological test data, and supervised report writing.

  • PSYC-7690: Introduction to Prescriptive Authority,for Psychologists (RxP): History, Research, and Practice

    PSYC-7690 introduces the field of prescriptive authority for psychologists (RxP). Since the endorsement of RxP by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1995, RxP has experienced a slow, but steady growth. RxP is now legal in five States (Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, and New Mexico); the Department of Defense (US Army, Navy, and Airforce); Public Health Service; and the Indian Health Service. There are now over 200 prescribing psychologists nationally. This course reviews the history of RxP, APA model curriculum, state laws, current research, drug classifications and target of treatment, adverse effects, medical issues posing as psychological issues, and clinical practice of the prescribing psychologist. Pathways to prescribing will also be discussed. Completion of this course, and along with a graduate course in psychopharmacology, is meant to satisfy the Level 2 (collaboration) involvement with psychopharmacology as described in APA’s Practice Guidelines Regarding Psychologist’s Involvement in Pharmacological Issues. This class does not provide sufficient coursework to prescribe in states in which RxP is legal. We will take about what it takes to become a prescriber in the class.

  • PY-7180: Human Sexuality and Sex Therapy

    This course is designed to help students develop a broad appreciation for the complexity of human sexuality and sex therapy. The aim is to understand the development and context of one’s sexuality and to enable the individual to sharpen his/her self-identity and clinical skills based on this knowledge.  Moving beyond a “homework assignment” mentality of traditional sex therapy, students learn to think about sexual dilemmas as complex interpersonal and intergenerational realities. Sexual problems become but one of many important “elicitation windows” through which individuals and couples begin to view their sexual “problems” as developmental challenges and interlocking binds.  We will compare and contrast this systemic focus with traditional cognitive-behavioral and analytic methods. Alternative views and categories of dysfunction, beyond the DSM-5, will be examined.

  • PY-8170: Introduction to Risk Assessment

    Assessing and managing violence risk is an expanding area of forensic psychology. Over the past 20 years, research has led to the identification of empirically derived risk factors associated with violence and sexual offense recidivism and the development of specialized risk assessment tools. These tools have incresed the predictive ability above that of clinical judgement, as well as influenced public discourse and policies related to the management of violent and sexual offenders. Emipically-validated risk assessments have applications in a wide array of mental health and criminal justice proceedings including aiding fact-triers with regard to civil commitment (Sexually Dangerous Persons/Sexually Violent Predators), pre-trial mitigation, and setencing; family courts in determining custody issues and safety planning; community supervising agencies (parole and probation) in offender classification and allocation of resources; and treatment providers in guiding interventions. Psychologists are best suited to conduct violence risk assessments and psychosexual evaluations. Our specialized education and training in behavioral sciences provides decision-makers with evidence-based tools aimed at violence prevention.

During the course, transtheoretical (e.g., common factors of brief therapy) and contextual issues that cut across the approaches are identified and discussed. Finally, the course focuses on developing students’ personal approaches to brief therapy.

  • PY-8340: AdvSem-Psyc Test/Eval Infts/Chldrn/Yth

    This course covers approaches to psychological assessment with children and youths. Primary attention will be given to clinical presentations commonly encountered from ages 5-17, though infancy/toddlerhood and emerging adulthood are also briefly covered. Through this course, students will have exposure to general practices in navigating the assessment process with children, youths,  families, and other collateral sources (e.g., schools, therapists, etc.).  The primary foci of the course will (a) expose students to assessment measures and methods most often used with this population and (b) cover assessment practices and differential diagnosis of presenting concerns commonly encountered across this age span (e.g., neurodevelopmental). Testing measures will include developmental, cognitive, social/emotional, personality, and behavioral instruments/rating scales. Students will practice integrating assessment/testing data with history, behavioral observation, records, and clinical interviews to develop  meaningful conceptualizations and individualized recommendations. An emphasis is placed on creating accessible methods of data presentation to provide feedback to clients and referral sources (e.g., therapeutic letters, fables, visual presentations, etc.).


    It is not within the scope of this course to cover all psychological tests available to psychologists nor to teach basic test-specific administration and scoring practices. Rather, students will focus on learning to apply psychological assessment/ testing data to (a) develop a comprehensive understanding of children/youths and their presenting concerns, and (b) enhance students’ emerging competency in conceptualization, diagnosis, and feedback/recommendation development.

  • PY-8701: Tests & Measurement: Foundations of Psyc Measurements in Psychology

    This course continues to train students on various psychometric constructs (e.g., empirical criterion keying, base rate interpretation) and introduces students to the applications of objective and other norm referenced tests to make clinical inferences. Students will develop a beginning level use of the most widely used objective personality tests: the current version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI). The MMPI will also be combined with the MCMI with the goal of contextualizing testing and subsequent report writing, within the broader professional activity of psychological assessment. The use of the MMPI and MCMI with clients from diverse backgrounds will also be studied.
