The first part of the module provides students with a theoretical and practical background on
neurobiological and neurochemical bases of psychiatric disorders and pharmacological
interventions. This will be complemented by psychiatric interviews in simulated patients
focussing on psychopathological assessment. In the second part, the students will learn to plan
and assess the effectiveness of psychological interventions for selected disorders.

Substance Abuse (e.g. psychostimulants, hallucinogenics)

The seminar (voluntary) will be given in German as clinicians and patient actors are involved.
