Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) This course will examine different dimensions of how Culture affects our understanding of psychology and psychopathology, the challenges of cross-cultural practice, and the relevance of culture to the field of mental health and psychological research. The course aims to increase awareness and develop understanding around the topics covered through open-minded study, personal reflection and lively discussion. Texts will draw from cultural theory, psychology and clinical practice, inviting students to consider some fundamental questions which have far-reaching implications for psychopathology, research, and everyday clinical interventions. Students should be willing to critically reflect on the values and discourses informing their own perspectives and respect those of others. We will aim to cultivate a climate of respectful listening and curiosity, sensitive challenge, and personal reflection. |

Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Each week the chosen texts will aim to link theory to practice, examining cultural discourses around norms, race and ethnicity, mental illness, and cross-cultural practice and research, amongst other topics. Relevant theoretical issues and practical dilemmas concerning universalism versus relativism, power, difference, intersectionality and racism will be explored. Each week students will be required to familiarize themselves with 2-3 texts and take part in a discussion of the ideas explored in each seminar topic. Classes will involve student presentations, close critical reading of the texts, and structured discussion. Students will be able to explore particular topics in more depth through their presentation and essay. This Seminar course requires a commitment to reading the minimum assigned materials and interrogating the potential biases of existing perspectives on the topic areas. |
