CU Psychopathology in Each Diagnostic Possibilities & Mental Health Status Discussion

I don’t know how to handle this Psychology question and need guidance.




FIRST ASSIGNMENT

Overview

The purpose of this first assignment is to give you an initial opportunity to use the DSM-5 to make a diagnosis based on information provided in a specific case. Following the guidelines for diagnosis provided in the Unit 2 Introduction, think through the information in the case to come up with a diagnostic hypothesis. Follow the format of the Case Study Response Guide in the document you submit as your assignment. The focus of this assignment is the Case Study of Molly.

Instructions

  1. Read the Case Study of Molly.
  2. Using the DSM-5, follow the guidelines for diagnosis to think through how you would diagnose Molly’s condition.
  3. Once you have arrived at your diagnostic hypothesis, use the Case Study Response Guide to format your assignment, including your diagnosis in DSM-5 format.
  4. Address the following questions in Part 4 of the Case Study Response Guide:
    • What other kinds of information would you like to know about Molly?
    • For illustrative purposes, add your own additional facts to Molly’s case and describe how this additional information might alter the diagnostic hypothesis.

SECOND ASSIGNMENT

Review the Case Study of Bill. This case study is used for the second discussion as well as for this assignment.

Use the Case Study Response Guide to format your assignment. In Section 4 of the response guide, address each of the following:

  1. What diagnostic possibilities does Bill’s case present?
  2. What have you read in the case history so far that presents these possibilities for you?
  3. What kind of questions you might ask to evaluate each diagnostic possibility? You must consider at least two—but no more than three—diagnostic possibilities and develop a series of questions to interview for each possibility.
  4. What possible answers would lead you toward or away from each of your possibilities?

THIRD ASSIGNMENT


Read the Case Study of Ben, Part 2.

Use the Case Study Response Guide to assist you in revisiting your diagnosis of Ben’s condition, incorporating this new information. In Section 4 of the response guide, address each of the following:

  • In each of these scenarios, describe how the new information alters the picture presented in the original case study.
  • Describe your new diagnostic hypotheses, and justify your conclusions.
  • What further diagnostic evaluation do you believe is warranted?

FOURTH ASSIGNMENT

Review the Case Study of Kimberly, Part 1 and submit your responses to these questions as part of your assignment:

  • What diagnostic possibilities do Kimberly’s case present?
  • What evidence in the case history presents these possibilities for you?
  • What kind of questions you might ask to evaluate each diagnostic possibility? You must consider at least two, but no more than three, diagnostic possibilities, and develop a series of questions to interview for each possibility.
  • What possible answers would incline you toward or away from each of your various possibilities?
  • What further diagnostic evaluation is needed to clarify Kimberly’s diagnosis?

FIFTH ASSIGNMENT

Review the two new scenarios in the Case Study of Kimberly, Parts 2 and 3:

  1. Do not mix the two scenarios.
  2. When you respond to one, label it as either Part 2 or Part 3. Then, respond to the other and properly label it.
  3. In each scenario, do not assume the other scenario is true.

Read both of these scenarios and submit your responses as part of your assignment:

  • Describe how the new information alters the picture presented in the original case study. Be sure to address how the diathesis-stress model may apply.
  • Describe your new diagnostic hypotheses, and justify your conclusions.
  • Report on any further diagnostic evaluation you believe is warranted.

Use the Case Study Response Guide to format your response for each scenario in this assignment.

SIXTH ASSIGNMENT

Your assessment paper on the final Case Study of Danial, Parts 1, 2, and 3 will provide you with an opportunity to consider psychopathology issues from a developmental perspective, and to assess the differences between children, adolescents, and adults. This assessment will provide you with a further understanding of psychopathology and improve your diagnostic skills across the life span.

The Case Study of Danial provides three scenarios at different stages in his life. These scenarios each include:

  • A developmental history.
  • Family background.
  • Reason(s) for referral.
  • Basic assessment results.
  • Issues in treatment.

After you read each scenario, you will be asked to respond to the same series of questions and to integrate information at each stage of Danial’s life.

Use the Case Study Response Guide to format your assignment for each of the three scenarios. Complete your assessment paper by adding a Part 4 at the end, as described in the instructions.

Instructions

Respond to the questions below ( The Questions to Address for Danial…) for each part of Danial’s case study. Be particularly careful to integrate information from each preceding developmental stage into your responses, as they provide you with valuable history. Then answer the final questions as Part 4.

Think of each part of the case study as your first exposure to Danial, but in each successive part, you will be expected to consider all material from the previous scenarios. For example:

  • Part 1: When you respond to the questions in Part 1, all the information you know about Danial is contained in Part 1. Your answers will relate to only this scenario.
  • Part 2: When you respond to the questions in Part 2, you will have access to the expanded history. Respond to the scenario presented in Danial, Part 2, but also be aware of his previous history detailed in Part 1. Think of Part 1 as information from a medical record. Be sure to integrate this information into your response to the questions in Part 2.
  • Part 3: When you respond to Part 3, you will have access to the full history. Respond to the information presented in Danial, Part 3 at that point. Be sure to integrate his previous history from Parts 1 and 2 into your Part 3 answer.
  • Part 4: This is a separate section designed to integrate important issues from this course.

The Questions to Address for Danial, After Each Part (1, 2, and 3)

  1. What are your diagnostic hypotheses for Danial in this scenario? Justify your conclusions.
  2. Describe what further diagnostic information you need (what further diagnostic evaluation is warranted) at the end of this scenario.
  3. From a diathesis-stress perspective, what impact do the cultural, ethnic, and psychosexual issues have on Danial and his family in this scenario, and what other issues may play a role?

Part 4 Questions and Issues

  1. Given Danial’s family background and his open homosexuality, what cultural and ethnic factors do you need to be aware of at the different stages of his life, and how would you deal with them in arriving at your diagnoses? Give your reasoning with supporting documentation.
  2. Compare and contrast the changing roles of psychosexual diagnoses in the DSM text since the 1950s.

Assessment Requirements

To achieve a successful final assessment outcome, you are expected to meet the following requirements:

  • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • Thoroughness: The paper must address each question completely. Note: Do not restate the questions in your responses.
