PY 637L - Human Development Across the Lifespan


This course explores developmental issues that impact functioning across the lifespan, ranging from conception through old age. Topics include how early life experiences influence the development of vulnerability and resiliency, the development of perceptual and cognitive processes, psychosexual roles, as well as familial and interpersonal processes occurring throughout our lives. Additionally, this course will review the process of consolidation of the middle years and the psychosocial, social, and biological issues surrounding late life adjustment, aging and long-term care. Current clinical considerations will be examined from diverse theoretical viewpoints and within the context of research findings. The entire course is contextualized through a lens that holds both developmental and relational aspects of human development and prioritizes an approach that is embedded with cultural humility.
