Following a general introduction to the nature and study of abnormality, each of the main forms of psychopathology is discussed, along with theories of psychopathology and their evidence (when available) as well as science-based interventions. Tutorials are online. An intermediate level of research methodology and statistical knowledge is a pre-requisite for this unit, as this knowledge is required to understand the scientific basis of psychopathology and its theories.
