We will also be introduced to the terminology and language used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Metal Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-V), and also the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). We will spend time discussing the relative importance of a number of pervasive and social issues in the study of psychopathology. Prerequisite(s): PSYC-10000 [HSS]
