Q1.)
In the United States, Psychologists and Psychiatrists use the DSM-5 to determine whether patients should be diagnosed with a psychological disorder. What are the criteria used to determine if one’s behaviors are normal or the sign of a psychological disorder? How do clinicians assess if a specific patient should be diagnosed? Where does the diagnostic process leave room for subjectivity?
Q2.)Choose a specific disorder from the list below, and then conduct web research to find a person (i.e., living or not, historical, famous, and/or even fictional) who suffers from that condition. Then acting as a cognitive-behavioral therapist who is treating that person, briefly describe the disorder. Then, identify the assessment strategy for diagnosing the disorder. Describe in detail a cognitive behavioral treatment plan you might use with this client to address the chosen disorder. Note: Your treatment plan should include both cognitive and behavioral aspects and be realistic.
Agoraphobia
Anorexia or Bulimia
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Depression
Panic Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Specific Phobias (e.g., public speaking, heights, animals, etc.)
Substance Abuse

Case Study Set Three
Carefully read the three attached
documents. The “Case Study Checklist and Rubric” will guide you through
the expecations and format for the paper. Use the Case Study Template to
organize and format your paper. The template has examples of what to
include in each section. There is only one case since the discussion
board featured others. Follow the template exactly. For example, use the
diagnostic criteria tables to link signs and symptoms to diagnostic
criteria.
Submit your assignment using the link above. Your assignment
should be attached via a word document. Please do not type your response
directly into the text box. 
Use the attached rubric to help guide your work.
Hint: Consider the disorders we already covered.

i gave 50 word per question, with 100 for the last question as a suggestion, but fill free to allocate the words as you see fit.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review Standard 9: Assessments in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and DSM-5.
It is recommended that you read Chapters 1 and 2 The assessment process. Vol.
2: Testing and assessment in clinical and counseling psychology. (2013) e-book, as well as the Kielbasa,
Pomerantz, Krohn, and Sullivan (2004) “How Does Clients’ Method of Payment
Influence Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decisions?” and the Pomerantz and Segrist
(2006) “The Influence of Payment Method on Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decisions
Regarding Minimally Impaired Clients” articles for further information about
how payment method influences the assessment and diagnosis process. 
For this discussion, you will assume the role of a clinical
or counseling psychologist and diagnose a hypothetical client.  Begin by
reviewing the PSY650 Week
Two Case Studies Download PSY650 Week Two Case Studies document and select one
of the clients to diagnose.
In
your initial post, compare the assessments typically used by clinical and
counseling psychologists, and explain which assessment techniques (e.g., tests,
surveys, interviews, client records, observational data) you might use to aid
in your diagnosis of your selected client. Describe any additional information
you would need to help formulate your diagnosis, and propose specific questions
you might ask the client in order to obtain this information from him or her.
Identify which theoretical orientation you would use with this client and
explain how this orientation might influence the assessment and/or diagnostic
process. Using the DSM-5 manual, propose a diagnosis for the client in the
chosen case study.
Analyze
the case and your agency’s required timeline for diagnosing from an ethical
perspective. Considering the amount of information you currently have for your
client, explain whether or not it is ethical to render a diagnosis within the
required timeframe. Evaluate the case and describe whether or not it is
justifiable in this situation to render a diagnosis in order to obtain a third
party payment.

Part 1
Answer the following questions:
1.  Do you agree with Thomas Szasz’s assertion that mental illness is a myth and that mental disorders are just an excuse to cover up moral or social problems? Why or why not?
2.  Do you agree with Erving Goffman’s assertion that mental illness is just an example of how we disparage non-conformists? Why or why not?
3.  Do you believe that medical model of mental illness promotes disparaging stereotypes about mental disorders? For example, do you believe that giving people labels (such as schizophrenic, psychotic, or mentally ill) can promote disdain and prejudice against the mentally ill? If so, what do you think would be a better solution?
4.  Do you believe that some disorders are overdiagnosed or underdiagnosed. For example, what do you think about the recent surge in autism and ADHD diagnoses?
Part 2
Dissociative disorders may be the most controversial group of disorders in the DSM. One explanation for dissociative disorders is that a traumatic event is so devastating that your conscious mind can’t deal with it. Therefore, the mind locks the memory of the traumatic event into the unconscious mind. This concept is known as repression. According to Sigmund Freud, these repressed memories can only be brought into the conscious mind and dealt with through psychotherapeutic techniques.
Answer the following questions:
1.  Do you believe in the concept of repression or one similar to it? Why or why not?
2.  Do you believe that psychotherapeutic techniques, such as dream interpretation or slips of the  tongue, can bring unconscious memories (traumatic or otherwise) into the conscious mind? Why or why not?
3.  Do you believe that methods other than psychotherapeutic techniques, such as medication or different types of therapy, could bring unconscious memories into the conscious mind? Why or why not?
4.  Are you skeptical of the existence of any of the main dissociative disorders—dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, dissociative identity disorder, or depersonalization-derealization disorder? Why or why not?
For example, if you’re skeptical of one or more of these disorders, then why do you think people are diagnosed with it? Is acting, attention seeking, covering up personal failures, psychotherapists implanting thoughts, etc. involved? If you believe in one or more of these disorders, then why do you think people are diagnosed with it? Is stress, genetics, a chemical imbalance in the brain, or brain damage involved? Note that you could argue that you believe in some dissociative disorders but not others.
