This course represents the second half of a year-long sequence focusing on assessment, psychopathology, and treatment of children, adolescents, and families (the first half of the sequence being Psych 681). The primary goal of this course is to provide a foundation of knowledge for clinical psychology graduate students' clinical work and research with children, adolescents, and families.

This course consists of 1) an overview of the ethical principles and conduct pertaining to clinical practice, research, and teaching; and 2) a consideration of challenges and risks in the professional practice of psychology. Open only to doctoral students in the clinical psychology program.

This course will cover current literature relating to the neural bases of psychological development. The origins, emergence, and acquisition of cognition and behavior are examined from a neuroscientific perspective with diverse approaches including but not limited to neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and lesion studies both in humans and in animal models. Some of the questions addressed in this course are: What is the role of experience and innate biological predisposition in the development of the human mind?

Fundamentals of research, the varieties of method, and practicalities of application in clinical psychology research. Generally limited to beginning graduate students in clinical psychology. Required of clinical psychology students.

This course serves as a graduate-level introduction to the scientific methods and practical aspects of conducting research in social and personality psychology. Emphasis is placed on the development of such skills as experimental design, construction of reliable and valid measurement procedures, critical analysis of research literature, and effective writing of empirical papers.
