Module 22 -- The medical model, the cognitive-behavioral approach, the psychoanalytic approach (generally what these 3 are), the DSM-IV (what it is, what it’s used for), psychotic disorders, neurotic disorders (know what this distinction is), anxiety disorders (generally what they are), generalized anxiety disorder, free floating anxiety, panic disorder, panic attacks, phobic disorder, specific phobias, social phobias, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, obsessions vs. compulsions (attempts to ward off anxiety), somatoform disorders (generally what they are), culturally relative, somatization disorder, conversion disorder.

Module 23 -- Mood disorders (generally), major depressive disorder, dysthymia, bipolar I disorder, mania, flight of ideas, biological view -- genetic connections, underactivity in nor-epinephrine and serotonin pathways (anti-depressants heighten activity), sometimes smaller frontal lobes, psychosocial factors -- as interacting with biological predisposition, socially dependent personality, achievement personality, treatment -- (depression) Tricylics, MAOI’s, SSRI’s (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil) -- raise serotonin activity by preventing its reuptake, (bipolar I disorder) Lithium, psychotherapy, ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) causes a seizure, improvement of over half of patients who didn’t respond to anti-depressants, but, associated with memory loss, personality disorders (generally what they are) -- paranoid personality disorder, schizotypical personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dependent personality disorder (generally what each one looks like), antisocial personality disorder (a.k.a., sociopath, psychopath), characteristics (as in class), schizophrenia (generally), problems in thought (delusions, incoherency), problems in attention, problems in perception (hallucinations, auditory most common), motor problems (inappropriate, catatonia), emotional (a.k.a., affective) problems (inappropriate, flat affect), types of schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, disorganized schizophrenia, catatonic schizophrenia (generally what these look like). Positive symptoms (better prognosis), examples, negative symptoms (worse prognosis), examples. Biological causes, strong genetic component, Neurological causes: lower activity in frontal lobes, larger ventricles, over-activity in dopamine pathways, Environmental causes, connected to significant life-stress, esp. in family, diathesis-stress theory (what it is), Treatment: anti-psychotic drugs (a.k.a., neuroleptics) lessen dopamine activity, more effect on positive symptoms, typical vs. atypical narcoleptics, problems: side effects (e.g., tardive dyskinesia), relapse rates. Dissociative disorders (generally), dissociative amnesia (forgetting important factual information, but retaining procedural information), usually related to great life-stress, usually comes on suddenly & leaves suddenly, dissociative fugue (forgetting + change in identity, location), dissociate identity disorder (older name: multiple personality disorder), host vs. alters, often associated with early child-abuse, product of cultural conditions?

Module 25: Social Psychology -- Asch's famous experiment on conformity (generally what it was + what it said), conditions when conformity is greatest, Milgram’s experiment in obedience (the basic experiment, its results and its point), conditions when obedience is highest. Social facilitation vs. social inhibitions (and the general finding about these), deindividuation (what it is), the bystander effect (what it is + informational influence vs. diffusion of responsibility theories), social loafing (what it is), group polarization (what it is), groupthink (what it is). Attitudes (cognitive, affective and behavioral components), (predisposing, interpreting and evaluative functions), changing (cognitive dissonance + self-perception theory). Persuasion -- central vs. peripheral routes (what this distinction is), elements of (source, message and audience), one-sided (if audience sympathetic) vs. two-sided (if audience unsympathetic) messages, idea of matching route and one-side/two-sided to audience.
