NURS 544 - Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Health Conditions

3 Credits
This course enables students to develop the knowledge necessary to accurately assess and diagnose common mental health conditions and to create holistic and comprehensive plans of care based on these data. Students are provided with a broad theoretical base for understanding psychopathology, from not only an individual, descriptive, symptom perspective as presented in the DSM-5, but also from a contextual systemic perspective including developmental hallmarks, familial patterns, and socio-cultural contributors. Students learn to understand, assess, and plan treatment for patients based on a variety of perspectives: biological, psychological, developmental, interpersonal, environmental, and socio-cultural.
