NUR 284B - PMHNP IV: Care of the Psychiatric Client Across the Lifespan
Semester Hours: 3
This is the fourth of four clinical courses that provide the theoretical content and clinical practice guidelines for intervening in dysfunctional coping patterns and psychiatric disorders of individuals across the lifespan. The theoretical bases for a range of psychotherapeutic interventions across the lifespan are examined; cognitive treatment and select evidence-based therapy techniques receive particular emphasis. These evidence-based approaches are integrated with the clinical practice guidelines directing the management of highly prevalent psychiatric disorders. Neurobiological models of development provide a theoretical basis for understanding psychopathology and the interpersonal approach to building relationships. This course will allow the students to develop their psychiatric diagnostic and assessment skills and integrate practice guidelines and evidence-based approaches into their treatment planning. Opportunities to participate in emergency telemedicine experiences for a diverse population of individuals across the lifespan in the New York metropolitan area will be available. Clinical and simulation and standardized patient learning experiences will provide opportunities for students to develop their psychiatric diagnostic and assessment skills and integrate practice guidelines and evidence-based approaches into their treatment planning. Learning in this course is a collaborative process and in an interprofessional learning environment, providing quality, holistic, scientifically sound, and patient-centered care.
