PSY-338 Forensic Psychology This course involves the application of scientific and professional aspects of psychology to questions and issues relating to law and the legal system. This field encompasses contributions made in a number of different areas, including research, clinical practice and public policy, from a variety of perspectives within the field of psychology. This course introduces students to the major theories and research areas found within forensic psychology, and their application to a wide range of legal topics such as the insanity defence, criminal profiling, eyewitness testimony, interrogations, jury selection, and victim services. Prerequisite: PSY-121 or 122 PSY-339 Positive Psychology (W) Positive psychology is the scientific study of human flourishing. Exploring topics such as virtue and character, happiness and gratitude, willpower and self-control, emotion and optimism, students will be challenged to grow in their understanding and experience of human flourishing. Connections to Scripture and the long tradition of Christian reflection on flourishing will be explored. Prerequisite: PSY-121 or 122 PSY-341 History of Psychology (Capstone) (W) A study of the main concepts and major schools of psychology in their historical development. This course traces the development of psychology from its earlier status as a branch of philosophy to its present status as a special science. Prerequisite: Year 4 standing.

PSY-370-79 Special Topics PSY-417 Theory and Methods of Counselling (F) This course offers exposure to theories and methods of therapeutic counselling. Basic training in therapeutic communication and counselling techniques are also included. (Limited enrolment) Prerequisite: Year 4 standing in an Honours Psychology major or general psychology major, or permission of the instructor PSY-428 The Psychology of Will and Willpower (F) In recent years, psychology has experienced an explosion of interest in the topic of willpower or self-control. Numerous empirical studies show that human beings have a capacity for self-control, that this capacity is linked to the brain, that willpower can be strengthened, and that new insights are available that can help us to overcome bad habits and achieve our goals in life. Students will be challenged to understand this research and apply it to their lives. But is willpower really “the greatest human strength” as some researchers contend To answer this question, we will grapple with the deep historical connections between this new psychology of willpower and the traditional Christian idea of “will.” In the process, students will engage several foundational issues, such as the construction of psychological language, the role of metaphor in psychology, and the nature of “free will.” Prerequisite: Year 4 standing in an Honours Psychology major or general psychology major, or permission of the instructor (W) PSY-448 Topics in Psychoanalytic Psychology This seminar examines select issues in depth psychology, particularly classical drive theory (as developed by Sigmund Freud) and analytical psychology (as developed by Carl Jung). Based on student interest, developments in other psychoanalytic traditions, such as ego and self psychology and object relations theory may receive some attention. Prerequisite: Year 4 standing in an Honours Psychology major or general psychology major, or permission of the instructor PSY-458 The Psychology of Spirituality (W) An overview of the interface between the topics of psychology and spirituality viewpoints. The importance of these views for human development and the therapeutic process is examined. Topics include psychological perspectives on suffering, evil, forgiveness, prayer, spiritual assessment and the psychological effects of spiritual practices. Prerequisite: Year 4 standing in an Honours Psychology or Health Sciences major or Year 4 standing in a general psychology major, or permission of the instructor PSY-468 Topics in Social Psychology (W) This seminar provides an in-depth examination of topics in social psychology such as interpersonal relationships, stereotyping and prejudice, and self-regulation.
