Identifying Specific Psychiatric Condition
Instructions
For this final assignment, you will identify a specific psychiatric condition about which you would like to develop a deeper understanding. To do this, you will prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you will present a clinical case, provide a diagnosis, and outline a treatment approach using the best current treatment evidence. Speaker notes must be included in the slides, along with APA-formatted references supporting the information provided.
The PowerPoint presentation (15-20 slides total, not including title or reference slides) must include 1-2 slides addressing each of these:
- A succinct case summary/presentation.
- A thorough diagnosis.
- A slide that addresses the five domains of Garcia and Petrovitch’s (2015) Diversity/Resilience formulation (see Week 1 readings): Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Community, Spiritual, and Diversity. How is each of these illustrated in the client vignette?
Identifying Specific Psychiatric Condition
