CNS 5890. Psychopharmacology and Addiction (3 credits)


The understanding of basic neurobiology and psychopathology is one of three foundations of this class.  The other foundations are (2) an understanding of psychopharmacological medications and (3) an understanding of drugs of abuse.  An emphasis is placed on the role of the counselor as a member of a treatment team who helps facilitate client treatment compliance and monitors the efficacy and side effect manifestations of psychotropic treatment, while helping to integrate that treatment with other nonpharmacological modalities.
