SIAP/NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITYMaster’s Program in Clinical PsychopharmacologyCOURSE OUTLINECourse # & Title:CEP 801 Introduction to Psychopharmacology for Psychologists I(Introduction to Gross Anatomy and Introduction to CaseHistory Construction and Analysis)Credit Hours:3.0Location:Milton Hall, Room 81Class Meeting Dates:September 18, 2010Instructor(s):Elaine S. LeVine, Ph.D.Douglas W. Hoffman, Ph.D.Marlin Hoover, Ph.D.Class Meeting Times:8:00 AM – 6:00 PMRequired Text(s):Shier D., Butler J., and Lewis R., Hole’s Human Anatomy &Physiology, 12th Ed. McGraw Hill (2010); ISBN 978-0-07352570-9. This is also published in paperback and you arewelcome to use an earlier edition, which should be readilyavailable used as this is a common textbook.Readings:Shier, Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology p 1-49;Tissues 143-169Course Description: CEP 801 (Taught over 5 separate days, as 5 separate modules or 2 ½weekends of classes) is an introduction to gross anatomy and microanatomy. By the end of thecourse, psychologists will have an up to date understanding of human biology, physiology,anatomy, and neuroanatomy. Systems, organs and tissues of the body and anatomical positionsand orientations are reviewed with emphasis upon anatomical features and physiologicalprocesses that must be well understood in the prescribing of psychotropics. Today’s lecturefocuses on basic medical terminology and homeostatic mechanisms. In addition, Dr. Hoover andDr. LeVine will present a complex case with both psychological and physical manifestations tointroduce the student to the broad knowledge base required of a prescribing psychologist. Thiscourse is congruent with the College of Education's Conceptual Framework in that it providesa general knowledge background, addresses assessment competencies, and integrates contentknowledge and professional knowledge.Objectives: Students will:1. Understand the complexity of issues involved in determining appropriatepsychotropic intervention.

2. Will have a new appreciation for how patient’s underlying medical conditions mustbe considered in the use of medications.3. Begin to learn how side effects of certain medications can actually assist in bothpsychological and medical symptomology.4. Understand and be able to communicate using appropriate medical terminology fororgan parts and positions.Evaluation: There will be a test (multiple choice, short answer or true/false) which will begiven at the end of each day. The answers will be reviewed in class. Students’ experiential casestudies will be graded on pass/fail with the expectation for a demonstration of a high levelcompetence of the biopsychosocial model of care. The grades on the standardized tests willconstitute two-thirds of the grade and the grade on the case studies one-third of the grade foreach course.GradingAssignmentsTests (5 @ 12 pts ea, 90% 12pts, 80% 11 pts, 70% 10 pts)Experiential case studies (30 pts)Points Possible60 pts.30 pts.Course grades70 pts total “A” course grade60 pts total “B” course grade50 pts total “C” course gradeStudents with Disabilities: If you have or believe you have a disability, you may wish to selfidentify.

By theend of the course, psychologists will have an up to date understanding of human biology,physiology, anatomy, and neuroanatomy. Systems, organs and tissues of the body andanatomical positions and orientations are reviewed with emphasis upon anatomical features andphysiological processes that must be well understood in the prescribing of psychotropics. Thissecond day will provide students with an in depth understanding of morphology at the cellularand structural level, with particular emphasis on interactive processes. This course is congruentwith the College of Education's Conceptual Framework in that it provides a generalknowledge background, addresses assessment competencies, and integrates content knowledgeand professional knowledge.Objectives: Students will:1. Review and increase understanding of morphology on the cellular, tissue and grosslevels.2. Be able to explicate homeostatic mechanisms involved in each system.

3. Develop extensive understanding of feedback mechanisms among systems.4. Understand and be able to communicate using appropriate medical terminology for organparts and body positions.Evaluation: There will be a test (multiple choice, short answer or true/false) which will begiven at the end of each day.

Hoffman, Ph.D.Class Meeting Times:8:00 AM – 6:00 PMRequired Text(s):Shier D., Butler J., and Lewis R., Hole’s Human Anatomy &Physiology, 12th Ed. McGraw Hill (2010).Readings:Nervous System 1 & II p 353-436Course Description: The next 3 days of classes of CEP 801 constitute a thorough study ofgross, micro and chemical anatomy of the nervous system. The structural anatomy of thecerebral cortex, sub cortex, brainstem, spinal cord and autonomic nervous system will also bediscussed in regards to the ways in which these structures interact with psychopharmacologicalagents. Special focus will be given to the structural aspects of the frontal cortex, hippocampus,basal ganglia, thalamus and hypothalamus with particular attention to the locus coerulus, dorsalraphe nuclei and the nucleus accumbens. The function of neurotransmitter systems will becategorized according to the pharmacological agents which affect them and according to theways in which they interact with a variety of anatomical pathways. This course is congruentwith the College of Education's Conceptual Framework in that it provides a generalknowledge background, addresses assessment competencies, and integrates content knowledgeand professional knowledge.Objectives: Students will:1. Develop extensive understandings of feedback mechanisms among systems.2. Learn the basics of the synthesis of neurotransmitters, protein hormones, enzymes, andother organic substances.3. Learn the chemical and electrical properties involved in neurotransmission.4. Learn the functions and importance of the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems.

Evaluation: There will be a test (multiple choice, short answer or true/false) which will begiven at the end of each day. The answers will be reviewed in class.
