This course entertains two broad questions within which numerous models, theories, and empirical studies are employed. First, what is the nature and burden of mental illnesses and the benefits of mental health? Second, what are the causes of mental illnesses and mental health? This course employs a bio–psycho–social model of health. We examine mental health in terms of its proximal (biological), medial (psychological), and distal (sociological) causes, which implies that we can and should direct treatments to improve mental health at all three levels.
