Pain is easy to recognize, but enormously challenging to define, describe and treat. This interactive and interdisciplinary course approaches the challenge of pain from the perspectives of philosophy, neuroscience and clinical psychology. We will examine what pain is, how we measure and treat it, and how it is instantiated in the body and brain.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the basic anatomy and function of the autonomic nervous system and other peripheral systems relevant to emotion; describe methodology commonly used to measure them; understand common psychological interpretations of these functions, including ambiguities.
- Apply principles from affective psychophysiology to socially important outcomes, especially phenomena in clinical psychology and selected processes in developmental and social psychology.
- Integrate principles across different aspects of the course, for instance, integrating principles from assigned readings to independent and group work, or from class discussions to weekly reading assignments.
- Demonstrate improved reading, writing, and communication mechanics in psychology and related fields; read more carefully and with deeper comprehension, even of content outside one’s knowledge area; communicate more clearly orally and in writing.
- Participate in learning as an active and self-motivated partner; evaluate one’s own progress in learning and scholarship.
- Practice balancing autonomy and collaboration in academic endeavors; develop original ideas in response to coursework and develop ideas further in collaboration with peers.
