Grad and Undergrad. Prerequisite: HCCF 371. Explores the nature of parenting and parent/child relations over the lifespan from a historical, theoretical, and developmental perspective. It examines attachment, practical parenting strategies, the unique challenges faced by families in today's complex society, and the behavioral, emotional, social, spiritual, and relationship factors that help parents to create positive, nurturing family environments. The dynamics of parent/child interactions are analyzed from a systemic perspective that considers the reciprocal impact of children on parents as well as the impact of parents on their children.
Specific parenting issues related to a wide range of family structures and circumstances are explored, including: single-parent families, two-parent families, gay- and lesbian-headed families, adolescent parents, adoption and adoptive parenting, foster parenting, grandparents, dual-career families, dual-earner families, cohabiting parents, homeless families, abusive parents, step-families, and racial and cultural diversity in families. Options for childcare and early education are reviewed. The choice whether or not to become a parent is examined and the implications of that decision are also considered.
Your experiences with your own primary caregivers, and as a parent, if you are a parent, form an important component of the course. The opportunity to reflect on and discuss your own experiences and the experiences of others, share your learning and understanding with other students, and integrate those experiences with class readings and experiential exercises, will be a key factor in your learning.

6-10 pm F; 9-5 pm Sa · GROV E206
Grad and Undergrad. Examines the history, scope, and impact of human trauma, loss, and recovery. It investigates a wide spectrum of traumatic events and considers the impact of these experiences from a biopsychosocial and developmental perspective: psychological trauma has somatic consequences. Treatment, intervention, adaptation, resiliency, and recovery are explored. Fundamental to the study of trauma is the study of attachment and issues of personal meaning, which will also be explored in depth.
Provides the student with the opportunity to reflect on and discuss your own experiences with loss and trauma. For this reason, you are urged to considier not taking this course if you feel that these memories and events are too painful. Recovery from trauma often means coming to terms with events and their meanings. However, recovery can also be an illusion: some traumas are borne through life without the person "getting over it".
