Graduate Courses

Corey Mackenzie regularly teaches courses within the Clinical Psychology area of the Department of Psychology at the University of Manitoba.

PSYC 8430 (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) provides graduate students with opportunities to learn the theory and practice of empirically supported therapies that emphasize cognitive and behavioural methods. This course is clinically-focused and includes experiential opportunities for CBT skill development which can be applied to a wide range of psychological problems.

PSYC 7260/7270/8080 (Case Conceptualization and Communication) is taken by clinical students in the first three years of the program. This course combines empirical research on case conceptualization with practical experience presenting clinical cases. Students develop increasing sophistication in their ability to conceptualize cases as they move through the progression of courses. 

Undergraduate Courses

PSYC 3460 (Abnormal Psychology) is a 3-credit course that provides a broad overview of the most common psychological disorders, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). In addition to discussing the etiology, symptomatology, and treatment of these disorders, the course also touches on broader issues such as theoretical perspectives on abnormal behavior, and how such behaviors change across the lifespan.

Dr. Mackenzie occasionally teaches PSYC 4540/8040 (Psychology of Aging) which is a 3-credit undergraduate honours/graduate course that's designed to provide students with an understanding of psychological factors that affect and are affected by aging, including basic biological processes (e.g., genetics, cognitive neuroscience), fundamental cognitive abilities (e.g., memory, dementia), social and personality factors (e.g., caregiving, attitudes toward aging), and physical and mental health (e.g., healthy aging, depression).
