What is Prenatal Psychology? What falls within its interest? What has each embryological scene to tell us about our human experience? How are our primal and adult experiences interlinked? What do people’s narratives tell us about their deep essence? As you study you will find out most significant aspects about who we are and who we become!
The Course is an introduction to Psychology concepts and acts as a framework of understanding for what is to follow, gradually introducing the Students into Prenatal Psychology. It teaches the essential concepts for anyone interested in psychology to find her/his own way as (s)he moves on with her/his studies:
- how it all started and how from philosophy, reflection and observation we came to modern psychology studies
- how concepts like psyche, logos, consciousness, mind, identity, self, etc developed
- how different scholars see human experience and the theories or schools of thought they developed
- how the system works in terms of what is involved in the understanding of how the information is perceived;
- how the human system interprets the data;
- or responds to the stimuli;
- how all this functions when the person is relaxed or when under stress.
The Student will have the opportunity:
- to study issues of consciousness and recognize altered states of consciousness;
- to distinguish between memory and recollection as seen not only by the modern Sciences but also the Aristotelian Philosophy;
- to delve into the depths of intelligence and how it develops;
- to examine the ways we learn and acquire not just knowledge in the meaning of new information but also how we learn ethical behaviors; how we develop a higher sense of living; how we can create civilization.
At the end of the course, the learner will be familiar with
- terms used in psychology
- models and theories in the discipline
- different schools of thought in the field
- what prenatal psychology is and how it differs from other schools of thought
- the various perspectives within prenatal psychology
