Psychology is a one semester elective course. It is  designed with the expectation that many of you will take an introductory psychology class in college and some of you will even be wonderful enough to major in psychology.  Additionally I hope  that each of you will develop increased understanding and empathy toward those struggling with issues of mental health and illness.  The odds are extremely, extremely high that your life will be touched by mental health issues and this class hopes to prepare you for that eventuality.     The textbook  is  extremely well written and challenging.
