PDR-279339 investigate and propose a psychiatric diagnosis

PDR-279339 Week 6 Psychiatric Diagnosis For this assignment, students will investigate and propose a psychiatric diagnosis based on the case study from the Gorenstein and Comer (2015) textbook Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology, chosen in the Week One “Initial Call” discussion. This paper will include an in-depth overview of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, treatment options for the diagnosis, and a sound rationale that explains why this diagnosis was made. Note that the diagnosis may include more than one psychiatric disorder. The paper must present a thorough overview of each disorder within the diagnosis. Assume the audience has no prior knowledge of the disorder(s) within the diagnosis, and provide relevant and easy to understand explanations of each for the readers. When writing the paper, it is critical to convey all the necessary information in a straightforward manner using non-technical language. (Reference the Professional Voice and Writing resource provided by the Southern Vance High Writing Center for assistance.) Support the analysis with at least five peer-reviewed sources published within the last ten years in addition to the course text.The Psychiatric Diagnosis topical paper must include the following: – Explain psychological concepts in the patient’s presentation using professional terminology. Identify symptoms and behaviors exhibited by the patient in the chosen case study. – Match the identified symptoms to potential disorders in a diagnostic manual. – Propose a diagnosis based on the patient’s symptoms and the criteria listed for the disorder(s) in the diagnostic manual. – Analyze and explain how the patient meets criteria for the disorder(s) according to the patient’s symptoms and the criteria outlined in the diagnostic manual. – Justify the use of the chosen diagnostic manual (i.e., Why was this manual chosen over others?). – Summarize general views of the diagnosis from multiple theoretical orientations and historical perspectives. Include a discussion on comorbidity if the diagnosis includes more than one disorder. – Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis.
