General Psychology

The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge and tools needed for a conscious and correct management of the behavioral, psychological and social-relational aspects that characterize an individual and that are essential for the rehabilitative profession. To this end, the course includes a part aimed at providing the foundations of general psychology, essential for an understanding the mechanisms of individual behavior; a second part aimed at framing the behavior of the individual in a social and group dimension; and a third part in which the theoretical, methodological and psychometric aspects of neuropsychological tests in the neurological and psychiatric field will be examined, with particular attention to the methods of use and interpretation of the data obtained from the tests.

At the end of the course, the student will have acquired an understanding of how the individual's behaviour and psychological processes are structured and modified according to events, individual experiences and social interactions. In addition, the student will have acquired methodological and psychometric know-how on the various neuropsychological tests in the neurological and psychiatric fields, with particular emphasis on their conscious use and the correct interpretation of the data obtained from them.
