This course will be a lecture-seminar course focusing on the topic of mental illness within the context of 20th century clinical psychology and psychiatry. The first half of the course will focus on issues pertaining to the scientific adequacy of concepts employed in clinical discourse, while the second half will focus on ethical issues. Scientific issues to be addressed in the course include the problem of defining "mental illness" or "mental disorder," criticisms of disease explanations of abnormal behavior and the medical model of deviance, evolutionary explanations of abnormal behavior, cross-cultural issues, and problems in classifying different "disorders." Ethical issues to be addressed in the course include the social implications of clinical categories, what the aims of clinical discourse and practices should be, and the prospects of alternative models (besides the medical model) for addressing the problem of abnormal behaviors. Students will read a variety of perspectives including writings by Thomas Szasz, R.D. Laing, Christopher Boorse, Peter Sedgwick, Jerome Wakefield, Arthur Kleinman, Carl Rogers, B.F. Skinner, Hobart Mowrer, and Michel Foucault.
