The Dynamics of Stress
Delivering a comprehensive exploration of acute psychological distress, this four-credit-hour course examines the psychological, physiological, and sociological dynamics of stress. Participants analyze human behavior, both normal and abnormal, and apply personality theory to crisis events. Identifying these complex dynamics provides a foundational understanding of how severe trauma impacts cognitive processing, physical health, and community systems. Applying this knowledge allows practitioners to tailor interventions to the specific systemic and biological needs of vulnerable populations.
