Applied Psychology - Specialty: Clinical Sexology I 23-PSDM-SEK

The aim of the course is to familiarize participants with contemporary sexological knowledge and recognized approaches to key issues of the norm and pathology of psychosexual human functioning. The learning content includes the perspectives adopted by medicine and psychology as well as other disciplines of social knowledge (sociology, law, cultural anthropology).
The lecture part introduces the basic content and theoretical models ordering the perspective of the analysis of human sexual functioning and its conditions: taking into account developmental changes in human sexual experiences and behaviors in the life cycle, as well as etiopsychopathological mechanisms.
The purpose of seminar classes is to create an opportunity to reflect and disuss contemporary controversies regarding the sexual norm and pathology. Students develop and practise theirs skills of reading literature reflectively, identifiying the areas agreed in science and subject to polemics (issues unclear, still studied, influenced by social disputes). These classes are also aimed at bringing the students an opportunity to reflect on their own sexual attitudes and to analyze their eventual impact for clinical practice.
The purpose of the practice classes is to create opportunity for participants to acquire the skills to assess and differentiate between normative and non-normative psychosexual functioning at various stages of adult life. In particular, the classes are designed to teach the students the use of various types of psychological methods in the process of diagnosis of patient's sexuality: the types of these methods, specific tools and the procedures of conducting them, interpretation of their results and referring these results to the problem reported by a person diagnosed.

a) acquiring knowledge about the concept of human sexual development as a continuous and integral process with other spheres of life and about human sexuality models b) familiarizing with current classifications in the field of norm and pathology in psychosexual functioning c) acquiring the skills of an adequate selection and use of theoretical models to understand human sexual behavior in terms of norm and pathology d) developing the skills of critical assessment and application of standard criteria in relation to personalized psychosexual functioning

very good (5.0): the answer contains correctly reproduced knowledge (a comprehensive presentation of theoretical models or their concepts, research results) and is illustrated with relevant examples or comments
good plus (4,5): the answer contains correctly reproduced knowledge (presentation of theoretical models or their concepts, research results) and is illustrated with relevant examples, including minor deficiencies
good (4,0): the answer contains correctly reproduced knowledge (basic presentation of theoretical models or their concepts, research results) and correct analysis of the example given by the examiner; the answer contains minor deficiencies or minor errors
satisfactory plus (3.5): the answer contains basically correctly reproduced knowledge (basic presentation of theoretical models or their concepts, research results) and basically correct analysis of the example given by the examiner; the answer contains deficiencies or minor errors
satisfactory (3.0): the answer contains basically correctly reproduced knowledge (basic presentation of theoretical models or their concepts, research results) and basically correct analysis of the example given by the examiner; the answer contains clear deficiencies or errors, which, however, do not distort the essence of the issues discussed

Exercises:
a) 80% attendance, preparation for classes (reading the literature) and active participation in them;
