STUDY EACH WEEK'S ASSIGNMENTS
The primary course content comes from the readings. The video programs are intended to emphasize and illustrate the reading material. You are tested on information from both the readings and video programs. If, for any reason, you miss watching a video program during the assigned week, you should still keep current with your reading assignments.
Work on the lessons in the following order:
a. In the study guide, read the sections: "Unit Theme," "Goals and Objectives," and "Unit Overview."
b. View the video program using the Video Notes section in the study guide as a viewing guide. Don't take notes while you're viewing.
c. Write out answers to the "Video Review Questions" in the study guide to help you recall what is in the video program.
d. Read the entire text assignment.
e. Study the lesson's "Key Terms" in the study guide.
f. Answer the "Self-Test's" multiple-choice questions in the study guide to test your comprehension of the lesson.
REVIEW MATERIAL FOR EXAMS
Attend the Lecture/Review Sessions
The instructor reviews the course assignments, and helps you prepare for the examinations. Past experience has shown that students who attend these review sessions have a better grasp of the course material and score higher on their exams.
For students who cannot attend the review sessions, videotaped copies will be available in the Open Media Lab for your use there or to check out overnight.
Review #1: Tuesday, April 29, 5:30-6:45 PM, room L-72
Review #2: Tuesday, May 20, 5:30-6:45 PM, room L-72
Review #3: Tuesday, June 10, 5:30-6:45 PM, room L-72
Since new information regarding schedule changes or other problems may be announced during these review sessions, students who do not attend or view the videotape may miss essential information.
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT (SEE PAGES 8-9)
One Clinical Case Study will be required of you and is due in the Distance Learning office on Monday, June 16 by 1:00 PM. Late assignments will receive an automatic reduction of 5 points. All papers must be typed and double-spaced with a font size of 12. Please type your name, date, and title of the Case Study Assignment at the top of your paper. Attach the PSYC 4 cover sheet on top of the assignment (make a copy of page 7 of this syllabus).
To complete the assignment, thoroughly read the Case Study entitled, "Diagnosis Not Provided," on pages 8 and 9 of this Syllabus. Take notes on the symptoms of the client. Read completely pages 10-12 in Chapter 1 of your text. Then write a 5 Axes Diagnosis of the client according to the DSM-IV criteria. Your diagnosis should take the form of Table 1.3 on page 12. You must make the actual diagnosis or diagnoses (if the client has more than one disorder).
After writing the 5 axes diagnosis, write a Mental Status Exam Narrative (or M.S.E.) in essay form in the following manner:
• Write 1 paragraph to justify your diagnosis. In other words, why do you think this client has the diagnosis you are making? DO NOT just summarize the case. Instead, identify symptoms that meet the criteria for the DSM-IV diagnosis. For example, if you think the person in the Case Study suffers from Schizophrenia, give examples of his symptoms and explain how those symptoms match the DSM-IV's criteria for Schizophrenia. Be thorough, convincing, and use the DSM-IV to back up your diagnosis.
• Write a second paragraph describing another diagnosis that the client might possibly have. This is called a differential diagnosis. Because Psychology/Psychiatry, like medicine, is not an exact science, you must consider other possible diagnoses for the disorder. For example: if you went to an M.D. with the symptoms of a sore throat, the Dr. would need to consider various diagnoses before deciding on the one that most closely fit your symptoms. He/she might diagnose you as having a "flu" but write "allergies" as your differential diagnosis to keep in mind for future reference. Similarly, if you were a psychologist working with a patient, you would need to consider different diagnoses. Again, in making the differential diagnosis for the Case Study assignment, use the DMS-IV to back up your argument.
• Finally, write a third paragraph describing which form of treatment (therapy, medication, etc.) you would suggest given your diagnosis of the case. You can tie in discussions from text, video, and Review Sessions, etc., to support your suggestion(s) for appropriate treatment.
Your end result for the Case Study should take the following format:
Axis I:
Axis II:
Axis III:
Axis IV:
Axis V:
Mental Status Exam Narrative
• One paragraph to support the diagnosis you have made above.
• One paragraph to name the differential diagnosis or diagnoses and support that argument.
• One paragraph to suggest treatment for the mental disorder(s) you have diagnosed. (The three paragraphs of the M.S.E. should be a minimum of 1 page total in length.)
We will discuss the assignment at the Orientation and in the Review Sessions. If you are unclear about the assignment, please do not hesitate to contact your instructor, as she is there to help you.
Turn in your assignment, with a cover sheet attached (page 7 of this syllabus), on the date due at the Distance Learning Center; LCW-102. You may also:
