The course focuses on the field of psychosomatics and introduces different perspectives and schools examining somatic manifestations that are strongly associated with the psychological development of the individual. The course also studies symptomatology of psychosomatic disorders from early childhood to adulthood, resulting from psychological development. It also explains the different aspects of the therapeutic procedure addressing psychosomatic symptoms.

This course is divided into two parts: The first part includes a base of theoretical and conceptual skills of communication. This is how the communication will be detailed as a psycho sociological object with its theories and ideologies, analyses of mass communication, psycho sociological perspective, critique of contemporary currents analysis of communication and information, psycho­sociological reading of communication and professions. Analytical openings will be made on the study of public discourse in the media, and the media itself, through its policies, its positioning and audience. The second part focuses on practical skills.

The course then develops the group notion and covers its theoretical perspectives (cohesion, interaction process, conflicts and resistances, etc.) and group animation (methods, techniques and applications). The practice of social interactions is inherent to this teaching (role play, information clips, case simulations etc).

Most of the analysis within Human and Social Sciences and decision­making is founded on statistical data. Students work individually on data collected either in their research or in their professional lives. This course provides students with the tools and knowledge required to present, in tables and graphs, the data they have to handle, to analyze the characteristics of a statistical distribution to a character and to study the correlations between two variables. Particular attention is devoted to the choice of statistical methods and interpretation of results.

This course introduces students to the concepts of statistical inference essential to research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Students are often required to collect information on samples of individuals and not on the entire population. They learn to draw conclusions about the population they are Interested, in from the data collected on samples with prudence and necessary rigor. For this purpose, this course introduces the students to the laws of probability, the estimation of population parameters by an interval of confidence and benchmark testing of two, as well as many mediums, by analysis of variance.

This course will provide 1st year students in Humanities with essential methods for the preparation of their work during the years of study at the University. These methods are common to all material and address different levels, ranging from exercises promoting correct educational attitudes in the introduction to the methods of work, the investigation of a text, and finally, to the mastery of speech essential to establish one Exchange with others, orally and in writing, and to assert with confidence and autonomy. In addition, the objectives of this course will address data essential for the design, drafting and the realization of research work.

This course enables the recognition and use of the psychometric tests adapted to adults: intelligence test, personality, recruitment or referral, psychopathology rating scale etc. It also allows analysis, data processing and interpretation, in order to establish a diagnosis of mental functioning and evaluation prognosis. The student will learn to write a report (or psychological assessment) and to communicate the results as appropriate.

This course identifies the psychiatric disorders of the adult; specifically their symptoms, etiologies, and the different modalities of management and treatment. It allows students to differentiate psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, delusional disorders), mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorders), anxiety and conversion disorders (OCD, phobia, panic disorder, GAD, conversion), alcohol and substance use disorders, as well as personality disorders. Another student objective for this course is to identify disorders, make differential diagnoses, and be introduced to the treatments used in psychiatry, in order to have a comprehensive understanding of adult psychopathology.

This course is divided into two segments: The 1st segment allows students: to recognize essential psychoanalytical notions based on Sigmund Freud’s theories, particularly the discovery of the unconscious, psychic apparatus, psychosexual development and fundamentals of analytical therapy; The 2nd segment allows students: to identify leading figures in psychoanalysis, namely the post­Freudian authors (Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, etc.), as well as neo­Freudians (Alfred Adler, Carl G. Jung, etc.) The course aims to offer the students a means to adopt a psychoanalytical method of interpretation that can be applied in clinical psychology.

The aim of this course is to develop further theories regarding personality structures and psychological disorders based on Freudian and post­Freudian concepts within contemporary psychoanalysis. More specifically, students will comprehend the relationship between theory and practice in the clinical framework, through a variety of theoretical constructs amongst current authors of the Psychoanalytical Society of Paris (Jean Bergeret, Pierre Marty, Françoise Dolto and others), the International Lacanian Association (Jacques Lacan). Students will also be introduced to recent researches from the European and American psychoanalytical schools, thus benefiting from the scientific activities and the recent publications of these schools.

The course demonstrates how intelligence is implemented in cognitive activities such as attention, perception, memory, problem solving, decision­making and reasoning. For each of these core activities, the information processing theories will be determined, as well the methods and techniques used by psychologists to understand, analyze and assess cognitive functioning.

This course is twofold: Validate the clinical approach, maintenance procedures and clinical examination and the method of testing at the level of the child and adolescent. Use and review data analysis of different tests: intelligence test (verbal and non verbal), personality tests (questionnaire, scales etc.), projective tests (CAT, Black Legs, scéno ­test, drawings etc.), in order to establish a diagnosis of mental and psychic functioning and prognosis of evolution, adapted to children and adolescents

The course is divided into two distinct but complementary parts: Psychodiagnostic Rorschach and the Thematic Apperception Test 1.

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) aims to understand the foundations of psychoanalytic interpretation of TAT by the method of Vica Shentoub and its successors; and counting chart developed by the school without excluding other interpretations.
