Specifically, students will receive instruction on:

• Recognizing the signs and symptoms of psychotic disorders and deploying negotiation strategies for the best possible outcomes;

• Identifying antisocial and borderline behaviors, distinguishing between the two, and employing negotiation tactics to effectively manage each;

• Interacting with individuals exhibiting indicators of mood disorders and engaging negotiation techniques most likely to result in a positive outcome.
