Applied Psychology - Specialty: Clinical Sexology II 23-PSDM-SEK2

The aim of the course is to familiarize participants with contemporary sexological knowledge and recognized approaches to the pathology in psychosexual human functioning, the diagnosis of pathologies, classification and treatment. This knowledge takes into account the perspectives adopted by medicine and psychology and, contextually, by other disciplines of social knowledge (sociology, law, cultural anthropology).
The aim of the lecture is to provide knowledge about diagnosis and help for patients struggling with disorders of gender identity, sexual preference and sexual dysfunctions. The lecture is to provide information constituting the theoretical framework for developing the ability to correctly diagnose and plan help for a patient with specific sexual problems and disorders.
The seminars are to create an opportunity to discuss the essence and sources of controversy around the issues of diagnosis and sexological intervention. It also enhance the students to reflectively read of literature, identyfy the areas agreed in science and subject to polemics (vague issues, still studied, influenced by social disputes). These classes also create an opportunity for students to reflect on their own attitudes on the issues discussed and to analyze their ieventual impact for clinical practice.
The purpose of the classes is to create opportunities for participants to acquire the skills of conducting clinical interview on sexological fuctioning of the patient and his/her development and his/her observation for the use of the diagnostic process. During the classes, students learn to use these methods, interpret their results and relate them to the problem reported by the person being diagnosed.

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

good plus (4.5): 81-90% of correct answers
good (4,0): 71-80% of correct answers
satisfactory plus (3.5): 61-70% of correct answers
satisfactory (3.0): 51-60% of correct answers
insufficient (2.0): 50 and below correct answers
