Understanding behavioral disorders - When do our behaviors become problematic?

Serious Topics

Why do certain behaviors seem difficult, unusual, or concerning to us? How can we distinguish a passing reaction from a deeper psychological difficulty? This training provides an accessible introduction to behavioral disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. We will cover ADHD, oppositional behaviors, anxiety disorders, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Through a few fictional situations, we will discover how different psychological disorders can manifest in behavior and why interpreting them requires caution. The objective is to better understand these difficulties, without seeking to make diagnoses, and to develop a more nuanced perspective on behaviors that raise questions for us. Target audience: General public, parents, teachers, and anyone interested in psychology.
