PSY 220 - Psychology of Adjustment

3 Credit Hours

Mental Health focuses on the various forms of adjustment that individuals use to cope with stress, frustration, and pressures. Students will be given an opportunity to improve their coping skills - i.e., dealing with problems in a task-oriented rather than ego-oriented manner. Discussion will be held concerning the use of defenses and secondary gains in the different forms of psychopathology. In Mental Health, humans are viewed holistically as a product of physiological, psychological, social, and cultural factors.
