Teaching Status and Improvement Paths of Abnormal Psychology Courses

As an essential branch of psychological science, Abnormal Psychology has received growing attention regarding its curriculum development and instructional methodologies. However, significant challenges persist in current teaching practices, including insufficient qualified faculty, outdated teaching materials, and a problematic disconnection between theoretical frameworks and clinical applications, all of which substantially constrain students’ learning efficacy and practical skill development. Through systematic analysis of existing pedagogical approaches, this study proposes strategic improvements focusing on curriculum modernization through international benchmarking and enhanced integration of theoretical knowledge with clinical practice, aiming to optimize educational outcomes and better equip students with professional competencies.
