Short description:

During the course psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral understanding of chosen mental disorders will be explored and compared.

Full description:

The purpose of the course is to present knowledge about understanding adult psychopathology from two main perspectives: psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral. We will explore how these theoretical approaches explain the process of impaired development, and, as a result – impairments in the functioning in adulthood. The question “what is common and what is different in the way both approaches understand particular disorders?” will arise. We will discuss unconscious and emotional or cognitive and behavioral mechanisms underlying chosen mental disorders. Recommendations, different methods of treatment and effectiveness research will also be discussed. Numerous case studies and clinical material will be presented and analysed.

Learning outcomes:

The course will deepen students` knowledge about psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral understanding of particular mental disorders. After

the course students will be able to use psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral ideas to interpret patient`s psychopathology mechanisms and to formulate treatment`s recommendations.
