Description

Provides the student with an historical overview of the history and systems of psychology from ancient to modern times. All major systems of thought will be reviewed. This course also examines the current systems of understanding human function including research into memory, cognition and affect, with which the modern clinician needs to be familiar. Ties are made between historical systems and current systems of understanding. Finally, the course connects all these systems of thought with the psychodynamic and systems orientations that underlie the philosophy of the Department of Professional Psychology at Chestnut Hill College. (Formerly GRCP-804.)
