The main objective is knowledge of the essential aspects of psychopathology, the classification of mental illnesses, clinical phenomenology, and the main practices for treatment with or without the patient's consent. Another objective is the knowledge of treatments without consent (A.S.O. and T.S.O). The normal/pathological relationship and the various psychopathological approaches (biological, phenomenological, psychodynamic, sociological, anthropological) imply different conceptions of illness. The distinction between psychosis and neurosis is a fundamental point of orientation for clinical practice. The focal point of the course is specifically the psychopathology of the stages of the female life cycle, with an in-depth discussion of the psychological structuring of the various stages and the clinical pathology that may be correlated.
