What It Is - And Is Not

What this class is:
  • A very broad view of developmental theories of psychology throughout the lifespan.
  • 3 cubic sh*tloads of information crammed into a very short period of time.
What this class is not:
  • Your personal therapy
  • Training for you to "do" therapy, so don't even try.
  • A venue for you to analyze Crazy Aunt Hattie, your mother-in-law, spouse, kids, et cetera.
  • Your personal social outlet.
  • Your project to "convert"everyone over to your pet whatever (religion, multilevel marketing scheme, diet craze, ad nauseum). Life does not begin when everyone agrees with you.
What I am:
  • Your instructor.
  • Direct.
  • Assertive.
  • Intolerant of BS.
What I am not:
  • Your mother.
  • Your friend.
  • Your therapist.
  • Responsible for you.
  • Tolerant of BS.
