Discuss and explain the specific methods of that therapy that would be utilized in the treatment of your chosen disorder.

 

The DSM identifies many specific psychological disorders. While research has found that in general, no one type of therapy is substantially better than others, different treatments may be more appropriate for specific disorders. In this project, you are asked to choose a psychological disorder that is of interest to you. You will describe the disorder in detail, indicate what is known about its causes and progression, and identify a treatment or treatments that would be most appropriate.
As you complete this project, think about the following:

  • What do we know about psychological disorders and their treatment?
  • What does research tell us about the most effective treatment for disorders?

At the end of this activity, you will:

  • Submit your course project dealing with psychological disorders and their treatment.

At the end of this module you will be required to submit a course project on psychological disorders and their treatment. You will be asked to choose one of the following:

  1. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  2. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  3. Major Depressive Disorder
  4. Bipolar Disorder
  5. Schizophrenia

After choosing the one disorder on which to focus, make sure to:

  • Describe key features of the disorder, including its symptoms
  • Address the biopsychosocial explanations that could account for the development of that disorder

After choosing a disorder, read the associated module in the textbook and choose an appropriate therapy or therapies for that disorder from the following choices:

  1. Psychoanalysis
  2. Humanistic Therapy
  3. Behavioral Therapy (you may choose combined Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy)
  4. Cognitive Therapy (you may choose combined Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy)
  5. Drug Therapies

When applying your chosen therapy or therapies (i.e. an eclectic approach), make sure to:

  • Discuss and explain the specific methods of that therapy that would be utilized in the treatment of your chosen disorder.
  • Provide a rationale for the effectiveness of your type of treatment (i.e. present evidence that supports the effectiveness of that therapy for your chosen disorder.

From the information presented in the Psychology webtext and from your research in the library or onthe Web (i.e. make sure to incorporate what psychological research and studies have shown that would support your points raised in the paper), present your position and support it with credible sources of information using APA style citations and references. You are required to use at least three (3) references, to include the course webtext; the other references should come from psychological journal articles or from relevant psychologyspecific websites.

NAME:                         Question  2           It   is  well-­‐known   that  a  key  mechanism  by  which  drugs   increase   locomotor  activity   (i.e.   cause   hyperactivity)   is  by   increasing  extracellular  dopamine.     In  preclinical   tests,   investigators   found   that  a  novel  compound  (called  “hyper”)  increased  locomotor  activity  in  mice.    The  investigators   wanted  to  know  the  mechanism  by  which  “hyper”  produced  this  behavioral  effect  and  asked  the   question,  “Is  the  increased  locomotor  activity  induced  by  “hyper”  due  to  an  action  of  the  novel   compound  to  increase  extracellular  dopamine  by  inhibiting  dopamine  uptake  via  the  dopamine   transporter  in  vivo?”    Based  on  material  covered  in  the  “Neurotransmitter  Transporter”  lectures,   and  your  supplemental  readings,  design  experiments  to  answer  their  question.     Hint:    Design  your  answer  as  if  you  were  writing  a  short  research  proposal  (therefore  your  answer   should   be   longer   than   a   few  pages).     Your   research   proposal   should   have   the   following   sub-­‐ sections:   1.  Background  and  rationale  for  the  proposed  experiments   2.  Hypothesis  to  be  tested   3.  Experiments  to  be  carried  out   4.  Expected  results   5.  Alternative  outcomes  if  you  do  obtain  the  expected  results   6.  Literature  cited     Note:    Providing  definitions  of  the  techniques  you  would  use  is  NOT  a  sufficient  answer.    Use  your   training   in   neuroscience   and   pharmacology   to   provide   an   answer   that   demonstrates   critical   thinking  and  appropriate  experimental  design.

Assignment 2: LASA

In examining the history of gerontological nursing, one must marvel at the advocacy and perseverance of nurses who have remained deeply committed to the care of older adults despite struggling against insurmountable odds over the years.
Bernita Steffl asserts “There is always an interesting person there, sometimes locked in the cage of age. I think I have helped at least a few of my students with this approach, ‘You see me as I am now, but I see myself as I’ve always been and all the things I’ve been—not just an old lady” (as cited in Ebersole & Touhy, 2006, p. 52).
