PSYC 322 Marriage and Intimacy
This course uses a critical-thinking approach to introduce students to the study of intimate relationships, encouraging them to interact and participate with what they read. Foundational topics like theoretical perspectives, cultural influences, gender, and sexuality are balanced with coverage of nontraditional relationships, cohabitation, couples therapies, divorce, and relationships across the lifespan. Current trends that affect students directly, from "hooking up" to social networking web sites and Internet dating make this course educational, pertinent, and practical.
