Switzerland is a country with some of the most progressive mental health treatment strategies in the world. However, it has also seen some of the worst outbreaks of mental health disorders in recent history, and a quarter of the population reports suffering from poor mental health. Switzerland is therefore fascinating country in which to study the question of what contributes to our mental health, and the factors which can damage it.
This course provides a detailed analysis of mental health and mental illness. Students will learn about good mental health, the various causes of poor mental health and mental disorders, and specific psychiatric and personality disorders. Diagnostic criteria for these disorders will be addressed, and sociocultural components will be explored. Specific attention will be paid to prevalence rates, treatment options, and mental health promotion in Switzerland.
Independent study and pursuing individual projects are key features of this course. Students will be given the freedom to choose the topic for their final assignment, and encouraged to carry out original research on innovative questions. |
