'A light hearted look at psychological theories and terms'

27/2/2024

0 Comments

 
A warm welcome to new enrolments, and welcome back to 2023 participants. This
structured five session program is a pre-requisite for the Demystifying Psychology
Discussion Group. The first session was, as promised, information dense and not likely to be covered in one session.

The course invites a light-hearted look at some of the many psychological theories and
terms that try to offer an understanding of how and why all sorts of relationships play out in every-day life.

So far, we have looked at concepts of:
  • Pre and post testing – a method often used by educators and therapists.
  • Psychology and its aims.
  • Studying Psychology.
  • Work options for Psychologists.
  • Theories … what are they ..what are they good for?
  • Schools of psychology.
  • “Abnormal” behaviour … is it really abnormal??.

At the next meeting we will look at:
  • DSM – Diagnostic Statistical Manual.
  • Ethics and psychology, with a look at some historical shockers!
  • History of Psychology.
  • Personalities and preferred coping styles.


This session the group will be invited to decide the topics for the remaining three sessions … surprises can be such fun !!!

Looking forward to the next catch up …Tuesday 19 March 10:00am - 12 noon at U3A large room at Benalla Seniors building.

    'Demystifying Psychology' Course

    Curious about why we do the things we do? This six-session course takes a light-hearted look at psychology in everyday life.

    We'll explore personality types and the different ways people cope, dip into how psychology is used in areas like parenting, drug treatment, assertiveness and topics suggested by you.

    We touch on social psychology such as power, group dynamics, obedience, and states of mind. We'll chat about how all these concepts are displayed in our daily lives.

    ​No heavy theory just plenty of relatable examples and good conversation.
