Class Details

The goal of this class is to help students develop an effective understanding of the definition, impact, and treatment of addiction. Students will be familiarized with the DSM-5, the text used to diagnose mental illness in the US. Speakers will tell their stories in their journey from addiction to recovery. Students will be expected to accurately diagnose the speakers according to the criteria in the DSM-5. Finally, an extensive annotated bibliography and oral presentation will be presented in groups at the end of the course. The goal of the class is to have students carry this knowledge forward and be more informed about addiction and recovery in personal, family, social, professional, and community life. That goal is two-fold; to help make better and more informed choices personally and with other people.
