While you can read a great deal about various disorders, being able to identify such disorders when they are present is challenging. To assist you with visualizing the disorders you are studying, you will have the opportunity to view the video interviews below with clients who have been diagnosed with various disorders.
- Video on Obsessive-compulsive disorder-https://youtu.be/dTl6P7L_ILc?si=efr42s8rKDu68aor
- Video on Borderline personality disorder-https://youtu.be/uWYj2wyFmQU?si=LYbxXgCMRZ9l_5Lo
For the assignment you need to:
- First review the diagnosis and case history of the disorder.
- Create at least 2 questions you would ask (these can also be taken from the videos) and identify the theme of the question.
- Make sure to keep notes on the questions and the answers that were given.
- Prepare a case summary covering the following points.
- Describe the diagnostic criteria for each disorder. See your textbook or DSM.
- List the interview questions that you created. Explain why you chose those questions. Summarize the responses given to your questions. Be sure to pick questions that were answered in the interview, work backwards.
- Describe the treatments for each disorder. See your textbook or DSM.
