I dette emnet får studentene kunnskap om teoretiske perspektiver for å forstå utvikling, forebygging og avhjelping av ulike psykososiale vansker i individ- og systemperspektiv.

Emnet bygger på en relasjonell forståelse av psykososiale vansker, og fokuserer på ulike aspekter som har betydning og innvirkning på de ulike opplæringsarenaene. Innholdet vil derfor konsentrere seg om ulike former for psykososiale vansker og hvordan disse utvikles og opprettholdes gjennom individuelle og miljømessige faktorer.
