Clinical approach to patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders. Knowledge of the main neurological and psychiatric disorders from childhood to elderly. The aims of the course is to provide students with theoretical notions necessary to apply the basic concepts of the development psychology to the helping relationship with children, adolescents and their families, in the principal contexts of the educational profession. Further objective is the knowledge of the essential aspects of psychopathology, classification of mental illnesses, clinical phenomena and the main practices for treatment with or without patient consent. Another objective is the knowledge of treatments without consent (T.S.O) which are a very delicate moment in the health practice. It is also proposed to make known how the sense given to "crazy" behaviors leads to coherent intervention initiatives. The normal / pathological relationship and the various psychopathological (biological, phenomenological, psychodynamic, sociological, anthropological) implications involve different conceptions of the disease. Moreover, make the distinction between psychosis and neurosis clear, a distinction which, while being little used, is a key point of reference for the clinician in his practice. Finally, to learn the basics of the more common neurological diseases (in particular those affecting cognition and behaviour) in terms of their pathophysiological mechanisms, signs, symptoms, diagnostic work-up and management.
