Mental Disorders will be focused on through a series of lectures, presentations of selected disorders, and case studies (written/video). Attention will be given to understanding how developmental crises, disability, trauma, and situational and environmental factors that affect both normal and abnormal behavior. Student comprehension of the material will be evaluated throughout the course. The format for the training will be intensive and participants will be expected to attend all sessions to receive credit for completing the course.

Upon successful participation in the course which includes full attendance for all six days and satisfactory completion of all assignments and assessments, students will be given a certificate verifying that they have completed the course. Participants may use this certificate as evidence of training in Psychopathology and Diagnosis and are encouraged to consult with their respective licensing boards for requirements. Participants may also choose to seek continuing education units (CEUs) for this course; it can qualify for 45 core and 5 Ethics CEUs.
