A Medical Handbook For Psychologists 2500-PL-PS-FO-18

This course has not yet been described...

Term 2023L:

A series of 14 lectures for students of full-time and evening studies, presenting the basic is-sues related to the health of an individual and society, the organization of health care and the functioning of people in various phases of the disease. The series of lectures on health is inspired by the author's view that a contemporary patient of a psychologist is usually also a patient of a medical doctor or has a person who requires chronic treatment among his relatives. In both cases, the life of the patient and his relatives changes, often radically and for a long time. After diagnosis, "nothing will be as it used to be." The patient's life changes in economic, social, family, emotional, erotic and physical dimensions (activity restriction or, on the contrary, a recommendation to take up physical activity).
During each lecture, a separate issue will be discussed ("in a nutshell" due to the 90-minute limit), important for modeling the functioning of individuals and communities. On the basis of many years of and varied clinical experience, the lecturer has selected the health issues necessary for the psychologist to work with the patient.
