Abstract

The main goal of this course are to gain an introductory exposure to the nature of the psychiatric disorder known as schizophrenia as revealed by the scientific method. We will discuss a broad range of findings from the scientific investigation of biological and psychological factors related to schizophrenia and its treatment. A brief historical overview of the recent emergence of the psychiatric category of schizophrenia will be presented as well.

Learning Objectives

• to learn about key symptomatic features through discussion and enactments of interviews with actors portraying many of the cardinal features of the illness,
• to learn about what brain imaging studies (MRI and fMRI) and neurochemistry have taught us about the neuroscience of the disorder
• to learn about scientific psychological data and theories concerning cognition, emotion and behavior in schizophrenia
• to learn about current, evidence-based somatic and psychosocial approaches to treatment of schizophrenia

Expected Learning Outcomes

• Point key symptomatics of illness
• Identify two major symptoms of the disorder
• Outline history of the treatment of schizophrenia in Western culture
• Understand the neuroscience of the disorder
• Discuss theories concerning cognition, emotion and behavior in schizophrenia
• Analyse the approaches to treatment

Course Contents

• An Introduction to the Disorder
  The first module is focused on introducing key symptom characteristics of the psychiatric diagnosis known as schizophrenia, and describes current thinking around potential causes and biological correlates of the disorder.
• Symptom Assessment and History
  The second module is focused on a continuing exploration of symptoms in the disorder through simulated client-clinician interactions. Lectures in this unit also focus on the history of the treatment of schizophrenia in Western culture.
• Neuroanatomy and Neuroimaging
  In the third module we begin to discuss the neurochemistry of the disorder as well as common manifestations of those diagnosed with schizophrenia on structural and functional brain MRI scans. First, though, we look at two more client-clinician simulations to explore symptoms and recovery.
• Psychological Science
  In the fourth module we discuss common cognitive deficits, disruptions in social cognition and cognitive models of the disorder.
• Intervention
  In the fifth module we discuss approaches to treatment with a focus on both pharmacologic and psychosocial approaches.
