In at least 1000 words
typed in proper APA format (including a 12-point font, double spacing, a title
page, a reference page, in-text citations, a running header, page numbers, and
an abstract page), you will write a review onany psychological disorder(can be an anxiety disorder, a mood
disorder, a personality disorder, a somatoform disorder, a dissociative
disorder, or even schizophrenia) of your choice.
One friendly piece of
advice here is to choose a specific disorder versus a category of disorders.
For example, instead of trying to do your essay on all personality disorders,
you might choose just one personality disorder, such as avoidant personality
disorder. That should make the paper more manageable.
First, you should discusswhat
the disorder is(general
description, types if different types exist, symptoms), andhow
one gets the disorder(possible
causes, risk factors).
Second, you should choose
four of the perspectives listed in the textbook–psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral,
cognitive, group, biological–and discuss how a
psychologist/doctor from each perspective would treat a patient with your
disorder.
Part of this assignment
will require you to enter the Grantham library. You should consider contacting
the librarian (well before the due date) for help if you do not understand what
peer-reviewed sources are or if you do not understand how to use the library
functionally at Grantham.
You must
include two peer-reviewed sourcesfrom an
electronic journal within your essay, using at least some information from each
of these sources within your writing. These sources should come from the
Grantham library. You may use other resources, but at least two of your sources
must come from the library and be peer-reviewed sources.
Your assignment should be
at least 1000 words in length and should be presented in APA format, including
a title page, in-text citations, a running header, page numbers, double
spacing, and a reference page. Your assignment should use terms/references
directly from the chapter, and all extra outside research must be properly
cited.
