In Introduction to Abnormal Psychology, a seven-hour course, Dr. Pihl navigates the complex landscape of mental health, from foundational concepts and diagnostic frameworks to the biological and environmental influences on mental disorders. The course examines the development and limitations of classification systems such as the DSM, while addressing key issues in diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. We also consider the roles of genetics, neurotransmitters like dopamine, and environmental factors, concluding with emerging, multidimensional approaches to understanding and improving mental health.
