Introduction to clinical psychology
This lecture aims to provide an understanding of the origins of clinical psychology and its representative theories. We will learn about representative theories and their origins regarding how humans maintain and develop mental health, and how to understand and approach psychological problems. Furthermore, as this is a required subject for obtaining certification as a certified clinical psychologist, we will also consider its relationship to the knowledge gained from basic psychology.
Specialized Seminars I and II
In this seminar, students learn proactively through discussion. In the spring semester, students will explore and present on topics related to children's mental health (attachment disorders, developmental disorders, abuse, etc.) through discussion. In the fall semester, students will write seminar papers based on topics they have chosen themselves. Through these activities, students will acquire valuable skills for society, such as identifying problems, formulating hypotheses, clarifying findings through research, and summarizing results.

How seniors learned
Psychology & Multicultural Coexistence
Learning to understand different cultures and use that understanding to provide psychological support.
Ami Izawa
I majored in psychology and aim to become a psychology specialist who can provide support from multiple perspectives. I have a broad interest not only in the field of psychology but also in the community coexistence of children, people with disabilities, and people from various different cultures, and I chose the multicultural coexistence program, which is an integrated Area for minor students. By combining psychology with multicultural coexistence, I believe our understanding of people from different cultural backgrounds deepens, enabling us to provide appropriate psychological support that empathizes with them. We encourage you to major in these two programs and deepen your personal learning.
