An overview of this course.

Psychological Disorders and Treatment (DSM-5 Edition)

Psyc 213: Psychological Disorders and Treatment (formerly Abnormal Psychology) (DSM-5 Edition) – David R. Bailey

Note: The podcasts in this collection were made during previous years when the course was titled Abnormal Psychology. Due to the stigma associated with the term “abnormal”, the course title was updated. As new recordings are made using the newly released DSM-5 TR, the term “abnormal psychology” will be phased out to remove the negative connotations that have developed over time. An updated podcast collection based on the new DSM-5 TR is currently in development.

This course collection is intended to provide a survey of theories and etiology of abnormal behavior and its social significance; description of symptoms; consideration of techniques of therapy and theories of prevention. The material in this series related to mental health diagnoses is based on the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, which was published in 2013. The podcasts presented in this series will include live class recordings of lecture presentations and additional pre-recorded segments that focus on frequently asked questions and concepts that often provide a challenge for many students. These recordings may also be supplemented by PDF files or handouts designed to further enhance the student’s understanding of the field of abnormal psychology. These materials are intended to supplement the traditional classroom approach of my courses and to enhance the student’s learning experience. Target audience should include current students and others who wish to know more about the topic areas. The materials will not be textbook specific so that they will be useful to others. For HACC students, the purpose is to allow them an opportunity to review or catch up on lectures/class periods that they may have missed or misunderstood. For other learners outside of HACC, the purpose is to supply another resource for their learning that is both entertaining and educational. The course was originally recorded during the Fall and Spring Semesters from 2013-2017 with some updates as necessary. Please send any suggestions/feedback to drbailey@hacc.edu. I hope you enjoy listening and thanks for exploring the world of psychological disorders and treatment with me.
