PM 621 - Clinical Psychopharmacology

Marriage and Family Therapists are increasingly members of interdisciplinary teams, and need to understand psychopharmacology information in order to communicate with other disciplines and in the case of private practitioners, to understand the medications that their clients may be utilizing. This course is designed to acquaint the student with the history and use of psychotropic drugs. Emphasis is given to the understanding of the uses of these drugs and the common side effects of the major categories of psychiatric medications. Relationships between major DSM-IV classifications and appropriate medications are presented. (2 credits)
