The rubric is also attached here. This assignment allows students to demonstrate their ability, with the aid of the DSM-5, to make informed psychological diagnosis and offer differential diagnoses based on interpretation of case study material. The instructor will provide links to two different case studies through Symptom Media in which an individual is interviewed over the course of a video session. The disorder represented may not necessarily be one of the disorders covered within the chapters of the textbook, as students need to show that they can use the DSM-5 as a reference text to help them identify new or unique symptoms. Students will then be required to use the material provided to indicate the diagnosis that best fits the symptoms described. They will do so by writing a 3-4 page paper that (1) accurately identifies and uses DSM-5 appropriate terminology to describe the symptoms presented by the case study and indicate a diagnosis, (2) examines the etiological factors that may have led to the development of those symptoms, (3) reflects on any multicultural concerns that may impact the conceptualization and/or presentation of the mental disorder, and (4) identifies possible differential diagnoses that may require further investigation before ruling out. Students will write the paper in APA style and use the DSM-5 as well as at least two (2) peer-reviewed resources to support their diagnostic impression.
