This is a seminar program in which students will review critically and discuss literature in principles of human behavior, developmental psychology, ethnicity and human behavior, and communication as it applies in the pediatric "triangle" concept. Various nonpharmacologic methods of guiding, managing, and shaping behaviour in the pediatric dental office will be discussed, from theoretical and practical perspectives. Some sessions will involve either case-based approaches to highlight behavioural aspects of dentistry or a review of videotapes of dentists, including graduate students in this course, interacting with patients.
