Special note - The following Criminology Dept. course and the Biology Dept. course will count towards the Psychology graduate degree:
CRIM 671-301: Violence: A Clinical Neuroscience Approach (Raine) M 2-5 (Counts as a 709)
This course illustrates a clinical neuroscienceapproach to understanding violence in which the tools of neuroscience – neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroendocrinology, neuropharmacology, molecular and behavioral genetics – are used to help inform the etiology and treatment of violence. Clinical components include psychopathy, proactive and reactive aggression, homicide, domestic violence, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, antisocial personality disorder, crime, and delinquency as well as their comorbid conditions (schizophrenia, drug abuse, hyperactivity). The interaction between neurobiological and psychosocial processes in predisposing to violence will be highlighted, together with developmental and neurodevelopmental perspectives on violence focusing on prospective longitudinal and brain imaging research. Key implications for forensic psychology, the criminal justice system, neuroethics, and treatment will also be outlined. (Counts as a 709)
BIOL 506-301: Topics in Behavioral Ecology (Cheney) W 1-3, Solomon Lab Bldg. Rm C16, (counts as a Proseminar for Psychology grad students)
A department permit is required for all graduate courses.
For non-psychology graduate students, first get permission of instructor, then get permission of Dr. Mike Kahana, Director of Graduate Studies, then contact Mr. Mike Greer, Department Administrator, to obtain the permit (greermb@psych.upenn.edu).
