Competences of the program to which the subject contributes
1. To know the contributions and limitations of the diverse theoretical models for Psychology.
2. To be able to identify the target recipients’ needs and to set appropriate goals for different fields of Psychology.
3. To be able to identify the most relevant traits of individuals, groups, organizations and contexts by using appropriate psychological techniques and instruments.
4. To conform with the deontological duties of Psychology.
Specific competences of the subject:
1. To be able to describe and analyse the basic symptoms of the different mental disorders.
2. To be able to identify the different mental disorders according to existing scientific classifications.
3. To be able to formulate diagnostic hypotheses in response to specific clinics.
4. To be able to formulate differential diagnoses.
5. To know Psychopathology in the framework of human development and, especially, as regards early childhood and adolescence disorders.
6. To be able to relate theory and empirical evidence for each type of metal disorder.
7. To prepare and interpret a clinical report with the aid of classification and diagnostics systems.
8. To know and comply with the ethical rules of professional practice and research in Psychology.
1. Lectures:
Lectures are intended to present the most salient contents of the programme units.
2. Interactive classes:
Interactive classes will be used to describe, analyse and discuss clinical cases illustrating selected disorders previously presented in the lectures. These activities will include whole-group or small-group sessions, as well as individual work by the students.
Depending on the health situation, the methodology may undergo changes to adapt to telematic or semi-presential teaching scenarios (see Observations).
The evaluation of learning will take into account both the evaluation of the knowledge acquired in relation to the theoretical and practical contents of the program, as well as the continuous evaluation of the tasks and activities proposed during the course.
The evaluation computation will be distributed as follows: The theoretical exam (multiple choice test) will be 50%; the practical exam (reasoned comment of a clinical case) 20%; and the remaining 30% will correspond to the continuous evaluation of the reports and proposed interactive activities.
To pass the subject it is necessary to pass the theoretical exam and the practical exam.
Depending on the health situation, the evaluation system may undergo changes that allow it to be adapted to telematics or blended teaching scenarios (see Observations).
IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES:
* Lectures: 25 hours
* Interactive classes: 13.5 hours
* Assessment: 2 hours
Total in-class workload: 40.5 hours
OUT-OF-CLASS ACTIVITIES:
* Preparation of lectures and interactive classes: 17 hours
* Production of practical reports: 17 hours
* Preparation of the exam: 40 hours.
Total out-of-class workload 74 hours
Attending class regularly.
Active participation in the classroom.
'CONTINGENCY PLAN'
Teaching methodology:
Given the uncertainty caused by the current health situation, part of the content can be worked on autonomously by the student, who will be duly informed through the Virtual Campus.
If certain theoretical contents cannot be worked on in the classroom, they will be taught through Microsoft Teams in a synchronous manner or through the virtual classroom in an asynchronous manner (e.g., guided presentations, texts and/or self-assessment questionnaires). As for the interactive teaching to be given in a telematic way, the activities to be carried out will be programmed through the virtual classroom and will be organized according to a schedule of deliveries and follow-up with the appropriate feedback.
Evaluation system:
Depending on the health circumstances, the theoretical-practical examination may take place telematically. In this case, in the event of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the 'Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of grades' will apply.
Given the uncertainty caused by the current health situation, part of the content, although it will be worked on, may not be subject to evaluation, which will be duly informed sufficiently in advance through the Virtual Campus of the subject.
The evaluation system will be adapted, if necessary, to semi-presential or telematic teaching scenarios: in these cases, the theoretical exam (test-type test) will account for 40%; the practical exam (reasoned commentary on a clinical case) will account for 20%; and the remaining 40% will correspond to continuous evaluation.
Recommendations for the study of the subject:
Given the uncertainty caused by the current health situation, it is recommended that the contents of the subject be kept up to date and that the activity recorded in the virtual classroom be continuously monitored, since certain contents and tasks that will be subject to evaluation can be proposed for work by telematic means.
