PSYC 317 Living with Loss
This course examines psychological processes associated with death and separation. Bereavement, grief, and mourning are the central elements of this course, and we will explore how these have been studied in response to death along with other losses people face in life. Emphasis will be placed on discussing how we can help others and ourselves better face loss in its myriad forms. While taking a lifespan approach and addressing normative loss (i.e., death in old age), this course will emphasize how loss impacts children, adolescents, and emerging adults.
