I am forwarding the attached new course proposal for Psychology 375 for the 

consideration of the Facult 

y

of Arts Curriculum Committee. You will note 

that we are also dropping two courses (Psycholog 

y

371 and Psychology 372). 

The new course will be offered in place of Ps 

y

c 371 and Ps 

y

c 372. This 

change is being proposed because the current courses which offer a survey 

of psychotherapy techniques, largel 

y

through guest presentations by 

practicing psychotherapists, do not offer the students a systematic 

overview of the fundamentals of clinical ps?cholog 

y

. The purpose of 

introducing this new course (Ps 

y

c 375) is to give students the appropriate 

methodological and theoretical overview of the field which is appropriate 

to the undergraduate level and is a necessary preparation for students who 

go on to further clinical training.

The Psychology Department recommends the followin 

g

calandar changes for 

FACCs consideration. These changes are requestion for the 1988-89 

calandar. In addition to these changes there are also some from last fall 

,

"including a new course, Psychology 375-3) which missed the annualization 

deadline and which should also be considered in September 1987. 

1.

Change of title: Psycholo

From: Animal Behavior 

To: Evolution and Social Behavior 

2.

Change of title: Ps 

y ch 

olog 

y

485-5 

From: Animal Behavior 

To: Evolutionary Psychology and Sociobiology 

Both of these charges have been requested b::' Dr. Crafcrd, who teaches 

these courses. The proposed titles more accuratel 

y

reflect the content of 

the courses than do the current titles.

3.

Change of Description: Psychology 335-3, Sensation I 

From: Title: Sensation I 

Course Description: Considers the capabilities of the visual and 

auditor;' sensory systems, and the sensory bases of experience 

with reference to the characteristics of stimuli, the 

receptor mechanisms, the 

1

processes of transmission, and the 

concomitant neurophysiological processes. Consideration is 

also given to the problems of response indicators and the 

measurement of sensory magnitudes.

the problems of response indicators and the measurement of 

sensory magnitudes. 

The deletion of "visual and auditor 

y

" is necessary because of dropping 

Psychology 336-3. When both 335-3 and 336-3 were offered the visual and 

auditor y s 

y

stems were covered in 335-3 and other sensory systems in 336-3. 

Because there was insufficient enrollment and teaching staff to offer both 

courses regularly, Psychology 336-3 was dropped and now Psychology 335-3 

will serve as a general course covering the various sensory systems.

4. Addition to Course Description: Psychology 366-3 

From: Treats language development from a psychological point of 

V

i

?

Topics include: origins of language in phylogeny, 

comparison bet'.eer animal and human communication systems3 

and the acquisition of language in the first years of life.

view. Topics include: origins of language in phylogeny,

and the acquisition of language in the first years of life. 

Students who have take Psychology 365-3 may not register for 

Psychology 366-3. 

This chan g 

e is necessary because of the significant overlap between 

Psychology 365-3, Psychol inguistics (which has been dropped from the 

calandar) and the new course Psychology 366-3.
