REHB 568 - PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION Credits: Three This course will involve the study of the impact of significant
mental health disorders on the individual, family, and society.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the individual experience of
psychiatric disability and factors that facilitate role functioning
and recovery. Students will develop a working knowledge of
diagnostic nomenclature and criteria based upon the current
classification system of psychiatric disorders (the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision
- DSM-IV-TR). This will involve an examination of the genetic,
biochemical, psychosocial, and developmental issues related to
psychopathology. The course focuses on rehabilitation interventions
in collaboration with clinical treatment and peer support.
