ACADEMIC FOCUS
- PSYC 181GS: Psychopharmacology - Drugs and Behavior (draft PDF)
- PSYC 186GS: Early History of Psychiatry: Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Pharmacology of the Renaissance-Enlightenment (draft PDF)
WHY YOU SHOULD GO?
This program will focus on the re-emergence of medicine and physiology that occurred during the counterreformation and proceeded in a continuous fashion until the modern period. Vienna is well placed to study a number of these events, especially since it was the home of Sigmund Freud for 47 years. We will be ideally located to visit sites related to the emergence of psychiatry and “lunatic asylums” as the view of the mentally ill transformed from that of supernatural possession to mental disease.
WHO SHOULD GO?
Students should have a broad interest in psychoactive drugs and neuroscience. The courses are taught so they do not require specific prerequisites, but students are encouraged to have some exposure to biology, neuroscience, or chemistry. Although we will cover everything you need to know, those students will be better prepared to understand the pharmacology.
Warren College students may be able to fulfill 2 Programs of Concentration requirements or 2 Area Studies requirements or 2 Upper-Division Non-Contiguous requirements. Consult your academic advisor to determine officially how the courses will apply to your graduation requirements.
