May 22 - June 6, 2008
This two week intensive course is a collaborative effort on the part of the Graduate School of Education, the Department of Psychology at George Mason University and the Hellenic Institute of Psychology and Health, Thessaloniki, Greece. Students will have a truly unique opportunity to interact with Greek University students and faculty as they explore issues related to health psychology in a multicultural setting. The 3-credit special topics course is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, and of particular interest to education and psychology students. It will identify those components which make up multidimensional definitions of health psychology; compare the various psychosocial and behavioral theories, health of individual cultural differences in lifestyle, customs, perception of illness and the use of health services; discuss ways of promoting awareness and understanding of multicultural factors in health psychology.
In addition to classes, students will also have the opportunity to participate in guided tours and cultural excursions to Thessaloniki, Gherkin Beach, Petrolia, Athens and even take a four-day, all inclusive cruise to the Greek Isles.
