Beginning in the late 20th century, human organization and experience has increasingly been influenced by digital forms of communication, production and integration with the environment.

In this course, we will explore and discuss mental health concerns and psychological problems using a developmental lens. Using foundational readings and through case studies, we will establish an understanding of the psychology field's approach to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of psychological problems that are circumscribed to (e.g., reactive attachment) or typically first appear or are first detected in childhood and adolescence (e.g., ADHD, conduct problems, anxiety, developmental disorders, neurodivergence).

Transdiagnostic approaches to understanding and treating psychopathology seek to identify psychological processes that serve as mechanisms across different types or categories of disorders. In this course, students will learn about the clinical psychology research process including developing research questions, considering ethical issues, conducting a literature review, selecting appropriate measurement tools, and analyzing and interpreting data.
