ASSIGNMENTS
ANALYSIS PAPERS Students are required to complete two assignments: 1.
“Diagnosing the Celebrities” —Select any “celebrity” or famous person who you believe has a clinical disorder. Select someone personally intriguing and famous, such as a musician, movie star, politician, historical figure, or criminal. Please DO NOT select a family member, friend, professor, or anyone else in the local community. Gather data from a variety of sources, including books, popular magazines, Internet sites, television interviews, articles, scholarly resources, etc. Make up a reason for your referral, as well as any material for the mental status examination. However, this material should be congruent with existing evidence (i.e., magazines, books, etc.) about the person’s behavior and symptoms. Before you begin the project, review your ideas with the professor to eliminate overlap in assessment subjects. Before you begin typing your paper, include the following disclaimer: “This document is entirely fictional, the person named in the evaluation was never actually evaluated, and the report author is not qualified to conduct psychological evaluations.” DUE 11/5 Worth: 100 points Your essay should be 3–4 typed pages (points will be taken off if you do not meet the minimum page requirement), and double spaced with no larger than 12 point, Times New Roman font; summary of each assignment is required.
2.
For each class, you will write weekly journal entries based on the readings and how the subject matter was presented (PowerPoint presentation, speakers, in-class discussion, activities, videos, etc.) Your journal can be kept in a spiral-ring notebook or something of your choosing. Toward the end of the semester turn your journal into your own “Personal Memoir of Being in an Abnormal Psychology Class.” Organize the entries by looking at themes: did your perception of abnormality change, what did you find particularly interesting or not interesting, did you find you wished you had the opportunity to explore something else in detail, etc. This is where you can use your creativity. Then design your own journal cover, dedication page, title page, table of contents, abstract, and the main text; you may also include an appendix with pictures or actual journal entries. Again this is where you can use your own personal style and creativity. DUE 11/24 Worth: 130 points
CASE STUDY Students are to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Read the case study, given by the professor, of a fictional patient describing his/her medical history. Assess the symptoms. Assess any other potential problematic areas of the person’s life, such as social, spiritual, emotional, cognitive, work/education level, physical. Provide diagnostic criteria based on the DSM. Identify stressors. Recommend treatment. Assess the prognosis. Summarize the results in a written statement.
Your written statement should be 3–4 typed double-spaced pages, no larger than 12 point, Times New Roman font. Points will be deducted if you do not meet the minimum page requirements.
DUE 10/1 Worth: 130 points
IN-CLASS ORAL PRESENTATIONS Students will make two in-class oral presentations: 1.
Students will learn about several different AXIS I (i.e,. serious) mental disorders. After learning the diagnostic criteria according to the DSM-IV-TR, treatment options, medication, therapy, and how each psychological model views the disorder, the student will use their own creativity to come up with their own AXIS I mental disorder. What is the criterion to be diagnosed with this disorder, what does it look like, what would be the wording of the disorder according to the DSM-IV-TR, who is typically diagnosed with this, how does society view this disorder, and what are the best treatment options? DUE 10/29 Worth: 10 points
2.
Students will explore abnormal behavior and the various different psychiatric diagnoses. Using their creativity and personal interests, have the students select a song that can be related to abnormal behavior, mental illness, psychiatric disorders, therapy, treatment, or the field of psychology, etc. Then examine the song lyrics and/or music video. What message is the song sending about abnormal psychology? Is it positive, negative, stereotyping, etc.? What specifically is the song trying to get across, and how would you use this to teach someone or a class about a specific disorder, treatment, the field of psychology, etc.? Students may use their textbook as a source to reflect clinical knowledge with “pop culture” knowledge. DUE 11/19 Worth: 10 points
