Introduction to
Psychology
Intensive Introduction (suitable for
beginner to intermediate students)
Taught by Jason Solomons. Click here
for Jason's profile.
Join us for a 10-week exploration into the depth and breadth of the
human mind. This course will cover all of the basic concepts of
psychology, as we examine the views and theories of the greatest minds
the field has ever known. You will learn about dreams, the unconscious,
mental illness, psychotherapy, how the mind is formed, and how our
personalities develop. Our journey into this fascinating discipline
will take us from psychology’s early beginnings, through its major
developments and movements, right up to the latest thinking and
practices that define the field today. We will cover the following
areas:
Developmental Psychology
Perhaps the most exciting field in psychology today is developmental
psychology. Discover how our minds are formed in infancy and early
childhood. Students will learn about Freud’s ideas of psychosexual
development, Erikson’s model of development, and Kohlberg’s stages of
moral development.
Motivation and Emotion
Students will learn about emotions, emotional intelligence, and
motivation. Discover the purpose of human emotions and explore in-depth
the destructive emotions, such as depression, anger and fear, and the
healing emotions of empathy, flow and joy.
Altered states of consciousness
This section introduces the field of altered states of consciousness. We
will explore states such as mystical oneness, meditation, hypnosis, and
dreams. Students will be introduced to dream interpretation and taught
to analyse their own dreams.
Personality
How do people tend to think and behave, and what causes these
tendencies? These are the questions addressed by the psychology of
personality. This section will cover the ideas of some of the great
personality theorists, such as Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers,
and Abraham Maslow.
The Psychology of Health
How do the mind and body interact and affect each other? We will attempt
to answer this fascinating question as we learn how different states of
mind can impact negatively on our physical health, and how certain
states of mind can lead to physical wellness.
Psychopathology
This section will explain the various ways mental illness is classified
as well as the effects of mental illness on the individual and society.
Students will learn about a wide spectrum of mental illnesses, from
schizophrenia through to depression.
Psychotherapy
Treatment of
mental illnesses can take various forms, such as medication,
talk-therapy, or a combination of both. Students will be introduced to
the different types of psychotherapy, including treatment approaches and
modalities.
