Philosophy is one of the oldest intellectual pursuits in human civilization. Philosophers ask about the nature of things in a very general, abstract way.

Cognition and emotion closely interact; the way we think has significant implication in regulation of our emotions. This course 1) reviews theoretical and empirical work on the relationship between cognition and emotion regulation, as well as the mechanisms underlying the problems of emotion regulation that span different mental disorders; 2) introduces evidenced-based intervention techniques with broad clinical utility such as cognitive restructuring and mindfulness-based interventions; and 3) discusses ways to apply these skills to diverse contexts of everyday life.

Prerequisite: Intro to Psychology
