Implications for health and well being will be discussed. Shannon Simonelli, Ph. D did her Doctoral Dissertation on Educational Wounding. She is a consultant and teacher. This course gives an introduction to Epidemiology.
Epidemiology looks at patterns of disease, diabilities, and mortalities in communitites and nations.
It looks at comparative risks and benefits of health practices and practices of health institutions. This course will give students the basic concepts and background necessary to critically read and understand epidemiology and clinical research published in the medical literature and apply them to actual behaviors both personally and in working in various populations. The integral yoga and integral philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, with the contributions of Haridas Chauduri, form the spiritual foundation of the Institute. This course explores the profound implications this integral approach has for psychology and psychotherapy. This course will balance the theoretical with the experiential with a one day retreat toward the end of the spring semester.
