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.

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.
