Case Study

The module critically examines core issues in the field of mental health. These include the conceptual and theoretical basis of a range of human experiences of mental distress. These could include, for example, experiences of worry, eating distress, psychosis and substance use. Students will be presented with information on contemporary models of human distress, covering a range of factors associated with mental distress and the support/interventions that are available for its alleviation. They will also critically examine the diagnostic approach of classification, and how it is used (or not) by different healthcare professionals. The aim of the module is to provide a basis for future study and/or employment in this fascinating area.
