PSY3405ID SPRING 2017 In­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary Health Psy­chol­ogy

This course pro­vides an overview of ex­ist­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal and epi­demi­o­log­i­cal find­ings on the re­la­tion­ship be­tween be­hav­ior and dis­ease. The course ex­plores how be­hav­ior, emo­tion and cog­ni­tion can in­flu­ence dis­ease processes and ex­am­ines the im­pact of stress and per­ceived con­trol of one’s des­tiny on coro­nary, im­mune and in­fec­tious dis­eases and symp­toms. The bi­o­log­i­cal processes of sev­eral rel­e­vant chronic ill­nesses are cov­ered as well as re­lated racial and so­cial eco­nomic health dis­par­i­ties. Tem­plates for un­der­stand­ing and treat­ing chronic ill­ness in­clud­ing so­cial sup­port, re­fer­ral and in­ter­ven­tions for op­ti­mal phys­i­cal and men­tal health are dis­cussed. The in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary theme of this course will pro­vide an overview of ex­tant lit­er­a­ture on the­o­ries of health psy­chol­ogy within the con­text of crit­i­cal race the­ory, epi­demi­ol­ogy, re­search meth­ods, phi­los­o­phy of sci­ence, bi­o­log­i­cal an­thro­pol­ogy, so­ci­ol­ogy, as well as ap­plied health/med­ical fields for an en­riched un­der­stand­ing of the biopsy­choso­cial ap­proach to health and ill­ness. Lec­tures and in-class ac­tiv­i­ties as well as films, guest lec­tur­ers, and in­ter­ac­tive com­puter pro­grams make up this text­book-free course with re­quired read­ings made avail­able through CityTech’s Open­Lab and Open Ed­u­ca­tional Re­sources (OER).
