美国大学本科，心理学专业，有哪些必修课？

　一、美国大学心理学论文联盟主要课程

经美国教育统计中心(National Center for Education Statistics)

2006年发布的统计结果，2005年从全美4140所大学毕业的本科生为143万余人，其中心理学本科毕业生为8万5千余人，将近占总毕业生人数的6%

。美国心理学会统计每年美国心理学硕士毕业生有1万5千余人，心理学博士学位获得者有4千多人。全美几乎所有知名大学都有心理学系和具有代表性的、完整的一套心理学课程。仅是专业心理学学校就有60余所，其中有13所提供网上远程教育课程和学位。

美国心理学会2005年的调查和统计表明，98%的大学有心理学导论课，93%有变态心理学课，90%有社会心理学课，78%有人格心理学课，75%有统计方法课，71%有认知心理学课，71%有生理心理学课。其他课程，如心理学历史与体系、研究方法、发展心理学、学习心理学、工业和组织心理学、儿童心理学、青少年心理学、感觉与知觉等被一半以上的大学安排在课程里。由此可见，以上课程是构成美国大学心理学课程的主要部分，受到美国心理学教师们的重视。

二、美国大学心理学课程安排

在美国，心理学的学士分为心理学理学士(Bachelor of Science缩写为B.S.)与心理学文学士(Bachelor of

Arts缩写为B.A.)两种。

心理学文学士相当于我国的心理学理学士。学生毕业后可从事心理学基本辅导与咨询工作，但一般要求在有硕士以上学位的工作者指导监督下进行。如继续读取硕士学位，可以按各州规定考取执照，单独给病人进行辅导与心理咨询。获得心理学博士才可称心理学家或心理学者(Psychologist)。心理学博士分为两种，Doctor

of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Psychology 或Doctor of Psychology

(Psy.D.)。心理学的Ph.D.偏向于理论研究，而心理学Psy.D.更倾向于临床。心理学理学士与心理学文学士的本质区别是，整理士在心理学领域里更倾向于医学。一般心理学理学士毕业后都会继续去医学院学习硕士或博士学位。如果继续学习心理学，他们学的是精神病学(Psychiatry)，取得学位并考取执照后成为精神病学者或精神病医生(Psychiatrist)。精神病医生与心理学者最关键的不同是，精神病医生可以给病人开处方用药，而心理学者则不能开药。因此，在美国医院，心理学诊所和其他心理学工作环境中，精神病医生通常占有最高的工作岗位，领导着其他心理学者。所以，在选择心理学本科学习方向时学生们要进行仔细而周全的思考，以免耽误时间、经费和以后的发展方向与前途。

为了更详尽地说明美国心理学系统中大学的课程设置与学位的要求和区别，下面以美国弗吉尼亚州威廉玛丽大学(The College of William and Mary)为例，具体介绍大学心理学专业的课程安排。

威廉玛丽大学心理学系建系在1946年，现有21位全职教授和6位非全职或访问教授。所有教师都有博士学位，并且在各自的研究领域非常活跃，在美国国内或国际享有声誉。这些教授们的研究代表了心理学的主要分支，如发展心理学、社会心理学、变态心理学/精神病理学、人格心理学、认知心理学和生物心理学/神经行为学。

威廉玛丽大学心理学系给学生们提供三种学位：本科学士、硕士和博士。其中，本科学士分为文学士(B.A.)和理学士(B.S.)，一般在四年内就可获得。硕士学位为文学硕士(Master

of Arts缩写为M.A.)，需要两年时间。而博士学位则是临床心理学的博士(Doctor of Psychology in Clinical

Psychology)，是与其他三所弗吉尼亚州的大学合办的项目，获取学位需要四年时间。威廉玛丽大学要求本科生有至少120个学分才能毕业，而它的心理学文学士学位要求学生在心理学系至少上32个学分的课。在这32个学分里，必修课为作为自然科学的心理学、作为社会科学的心理学、初级统计学与研究方法。此外，学生们还需从系里规定的选修课中挑选5门课程。

最后，学生们还须从高级研究课中选择一门课。心理学理学士学位在心理学文学士学位的所有要求上要再添加3个自然科学的选修课，而且最好是生物学的选修课，总共大约41个学分。

犯罪心理学英文介绍?从各个方面说，词稍微高端一点。字数多一点。

Criminal psychology is the study of the wills, thoughts, intentions and reactions of criminals, all that partakes in the criminal behavior.It is related to the field of criminal anthropology. The study goes deeply into what makes someone commit a crime, but also the reactions after the crime, on the run or in court. Criminal psychologists are often called up as witnesses in court cases to help the jury understand the mind of the criminal. Some types ofPsychiatry also deal with aspects of criminal behavior.

Psychiatrists and psychologists are licensed professionals that can assess both mental and physical states. Profilers look for patterns in behavior to typify the individual(s) behind a crime. A group effort attempts to answer the most common psychological questions: If there is a risk of a sexual predator re-offending if put back in society; If an offender is competent to stand trial; whether or not an offender was sane/insane at the time of the offense.

The question of competency to stand trial is a question of an offender’s current state of mind. This assesses the offender’s ability to understand the charges against them, the possible outcomes of being convicted/acquitted of these charges and their ability to assist their attorney with their defense. The question of sanity/insanity or criminal responsibility is an asses**ent of the offenders state of mind at the time of the crime. This refers to their ability to understand right from wrong and what is against the law. The insanity defense is rarely used, as it is very difficult to prove. If declared insane, an offender is committed to a secure hospital facility for much longer than they would have served in prison. Theoretically, that is.

A major part of Criminal psychology, known as offender profiling, began in the 1940s when the United States Office of Strategic Services asked William L. Langer's brother Walter C. Langer, a well renowned psychiatrist, to draw up a profile of Adolf Hitler. After the Second World War British psychologist Lionel Haward, while working for the Royal Air Force police, drew up a list of characteristics which high-ranking Nazi war criminals might display, to be able to spot them amongst ordinary captured soldiers and airmen.

A renowned Italian Psychologist Cesare Lumbroso (1835-1909) was thought to be one of the first criminologist to attempt to formally classify criminals based on age, sex, gender, physical characteristics, education, and geographic region. When comparing these similar characteristics he better understood the origin of motivation of criminal behavior. Published his book called The Criminal Man. Lumbroso studied 383 Italian inmates. Based on his studies, he suggested that there were three types of criminals. Born Criminals which meant these people are degenerates and the insane criminals are ones that suffer a mental illness. Also he studied and found specific physical characteristics. A few examples include asymmetry of the face, eye defects and peculiarities, and ears of unusual size and etc.

In the 1950s, US psychiatrist James A. Brussel drew up what turned to be an uncannily accurate profile of a bomber who had been terrorizing New York.[citation needed]

It was first introduced to the FBI in the 1970s when several classes were taught to the American Society of crime lab directors. Most of the public at that time knew little if not anything about how profilers would profile people until TV came into play. Later films based on the fictional works of Author Thomas Harristhat caught the public eye as a profession in particular Mindhunter (1986) and Silence of the Lambs (1991). The fastest development occurred when the FBI opened its training academy, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), in Quantico, Virginia. It led to the establishment of the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and the violent criminal apprehension program. The idea was to have a system which could pick up links between unsolved major crimes.[citation needed]

In the United Kingdom, Professor David Canter was a pioneer helping to guide police detectives from the mid-1980s to an offender who had carried out a series of serious attacks, but Canter saw the limitations of "offender profiling" - in particular, the subjective, personal opinion of a psychologist. He and a colleague coined the term investigative psychology and began trying to approach the subject from what they saw as a more scientific point of view.[citation needed]

Criminal profiling, also known as offender profiling, is the process of linking an offender's actions at the crime scene to their most likely characteristics to help police investigators narrow down and prioritize a pool of most likely suspects. Profiling is a relatively new area of forensic psychology that during the past 20 years has developed from what used to be described as an art to a rigorous science. Part of a sub-field of forensic psychology called investigative psychology, criminal profiling is based on increasingly rigorous methodological advances and empirical research.[citation needed]

Criminal profiling is a process now known in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as criminal investigative ****ysis. Pro-filers, or criminal investigative ****ysts, are trained and experienced law enforcement officers who study every behavioral aspect and detail of an unsolved violent crime scene in which a certain amount of psychopathology has been left at the scene. The characteristics of a good pro-filer are discussed. Five behavioral characteristics that can be cleaned from the crime scene are described: 1) amount of planning that went into the crime, 2) degree of control used by the offender, 3) escalation of emotion at the scene, 4) risk level of both the offender and victim, and 5) appearance of the crime scene (disorganized versus organized). The process of interpreting the behavior observed at a crime scene is briefly discussed.
