Psychology: Perspectives on Mental Health Part 2 (online)
We will explore the meaning and our experience of mental distress from four very different viewpoints; the Biological or medical model, various psychological approaches, the societal perspective and a spiritual one. Each has something to offer, none has the whole story.
This is an introductory level course, so no previous knowledge is assumed. It is suitable for those on a recovery journey, for those seeking to use their own experience to help others or for those simply curious about mental health. It follows on from part 1 but it is not essential to have completed that to do this course.
Teaching is a mix of short presentations of key ideas, challenging open questions and lots of open discussion in small groups online.
