About the Course
In this course, Professor Nick Maguire (University of Southampton) explores models of mental health. In the first lecture, we think about the medical model of mental health and some supporting research. In the second lecture, we think about the mechanisms of pharmacological treatments for psychological illness. In the third lecture, we think about some psychological models of, and treatment for, mental health problems. Next, we think about psychosocial treatments, which incorporate situation and circumstance into methods to tackle mental illness. In the fifth and final lecture, we think about how pharmacological and psychological forms of treatment can complement each other.
