This course considers the nature and origins of psychological and
behavioral disorders in adults and children.  It emphasizes social
factors, cognitive factors, neural factors, and developmental processes.
In addition to considering the known facts and existing theories about
psychopathology, the course will also consider the scientific methods by

understanding the origins of common problems of children and adolescents
and developing effective treatments for those problems.
