0 Comments

 
The 2023 Demystifying Psychology Course begins on Tuesday 18 July. This structured 5 session program will be held on 3rd Tuesdays of the month from July to November, 10:00 to 12:00 noon, in U3A room #1 at Benalla Senior Citizens Community Centre, 18 Fawckner Drive, Benalla.

Demystifying Psychology Course content:

The 2023 program content is a re-vamp of the 2020 Demystifying Psychology Course. It is not designed to offer group or individual therapy.

The aims of the five-session course are to create a relaxed introduction to psychology in everyday life; a review of theories that explain how relationships/events happen; and to apply these theories to our everyday life.

Key psychological concepts/theories will include: 
  • Pre/post testing;
  • Personality types and preferred coping styles;
  • Addiction (including drugs) treatment;
  • Raising children;
  • Leadership and the rise and rise of Donald Trump (yep, that old “T” word),
  • plus topics suggested by participants.

    'Demystifying Psychology' Course

    The 'Demystifying Psychology Course' is a five-session course held monthly on the third Tuesday of the month from 10:00am to 12noon in U3A Room 1 in the Benalla Seniors Building in Fawckner Street, Benalla.  Session #1 begins on Tuesday 20 February 2024.

    The course is a light-hearted introduction into psychology in everyday life focusing on some theories that attempt to explain how and why we act, think and feel in some circumstances. 

    The course includes personality types and preferred coping styles' theories and practices applied to drug treatment, Donald Trump, and other topics suggested by participants. 

    The course looks at social psychology, concepts of obedience, power, group dynamics and states of mind.  We'll discuss how we experience the various theories as they play out in daily life.
