PS4112 Creating Wellness
This course explores wellness comprehensively, including study of its physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, social and spiritual dimensions. The class addresses the shifting paradigm of medical models from technocratic to biopsychosocial to holistic and looks at how this shift is affecting traditional areas of study. The focus is on biological-psychological interactions and the mind-body connection — how to stay healthy, how to become resilient and how to create well-being. The emerging field of positive psychology is also discussed.
