CPS1809H: Clinical Psychopharmacology

This course will provide students with a broad overview of psychopharmacology and the effects that various psychotropic drugs have on sensation, cognition, affect, and behaviour. Following an introduction to the principles of neuropsychopharmacology, the course will focus on the specificity and side effects of psychopharmacology and its role in the management of mood and neurocognitive disorders. This course is designed to introduce students to the pharmacological treatment of mood and neurocognitive disorders and also to provide part of the requisite training for prescribing privileges that are currently awarded to clinical psychologists in some jurisdictions.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
