Together we will learn and become more familiar with the workings of the mind and all that influence it. We will learn different methods of data collection, research and disorders of the brain. Psychology topics we’ll cover include Overview of Psychology & Worldview, Nature vs. Nurture, Different Theories & their Focus, Psychological Evaluation, Abnormal Psychology, and Biblical Critique of Personality Theories. This class is geared towards preparing our students to know themselves as made in the image of God and so to be more prepared to face their next chapter of life outside of CRICS.
