COURSE OFFERINGS IN PSYCHOLOGY:
PSY 3380-1B: FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY
An introduction to the study of civil and criminal law, psychology, and behavior. We will review psychiatric classification and diagnosis, evaluate the legal criteria for "insanity" and "competency," review case histories, discuss decision making by juries, and review the use of expert testimony in legal proceedings. We will visit "Old Bailey," the highest court in England, Bethlem Hospital, the oldest and most notorious psychiatric hospital (originally called a "lunatic asylum" and the origin of the word "Bedlam"), the final home of Sigmund Freud, even study the most famous forensic case in history, Jack the Ripper. (We'll even take a walking tour retracing the scenes of the crimes). Other trips will include Cambridge, home of the Applied Psychology Unit, Oxford, Down House (home of Charles Darwin), Edinburgh, Dover, Brighton, and many others. You'll also have plenty of time to tour all of the British Isles using your first-class BritRail pass. This course is open to both majors and non-majors, with no necessary prerequisites, and will meet daily while in London.
PSY 1305-1B: Introductory Psychology
We will study the major elements of psychology: neuroscience, learning, memory, language, development, psychopathology, social psychology, and psychological treatments. Special emphasis will be placed on the work of European (and especially British) psychologists. We will visit such historical sites as British Museum of Natural History. In addition, we will visit the Freud Museum in London (where Freud spent the final years of his life) and Down House, the home of Charles Darwin (and the site of the Darwin Museum). This will be taught as a "readings course," meeting informally several times a week before dinner, and can be taken as a second course by anyone in the program.
