PSY 303 Week 1 Discussion Controversy Agree
On A Definition Of Abnormal
PSY 303 Week 1 Discussion Controversy:
Controversy: Agree on a Definition of Abnormal. You must successfully
complete the “Neurodevelopmental Disorders and the History of
Abnormal Psychology” quiz before you will be allowed to post in this
discussion forum. Before working on this discussion, please read
Chapter 1 in the course text, the articles by Szasz (1960) and Ausubel
(1961), and review any Instructor Guidance.
For this discussion, you will enter into a dialogue regarding a classic
and ongoing controversy within abnormal psychology. Specifically, what
is the definition of abnormal psychology?
As you enter into the conversation, provide your definition of abnormal
psychology. Relate historical events that influenced your thought
process as you created your definition. Identify a major theoretical

perspective that closely matches your definition. What diagnoses come
to mind when defining abnormal psychology?
Your challenge, as a class, is to come to a collective agreement on a
definition for abnormal psychology. The goal of this discussion is to
have a single dynamic and respectful conversation about the definition,
not a series of 20 to 30 separate conversations. This means that every
post should be in response to another post. Your instructor will be
posting the initial thread to which you will respond. Only start a new
discussion thread if you want to address an entirely different theme or
question(s) within the discussion subject area. Additionally, only post
after first carefully reading what all the others within the thread have
written.
A simple agree or disagree statement is insufficient to be counted as a
response. When presenting your opinion, cite relevant sources (beyond
your text) to support your statements. Do not repeat what your
classmates have already written, and do not ignore them if they ask you
questions. Any questions asked of you must be answered, including
questions from your instructor. Try to keep the conversation moving
forward by presenting options, insights, alternative ideas on and/or
interpretations of the topics and research.
You must post a response within the discussion on at least three separate
days by Day 7, and your posts must total at least
800 words. There is no required word count for individual posts as long
as your posts together total at least 800 words. There is no maximum
number of posts for any discussion.
Once your discussion is graded, your instructor will provide you with a
summary of the week’s discussion and any conclusions or definitions
that the class agreed on in your grading feedback. Please keep this
summary in mind for future discussions in this course.

Attitudes Toward Psychopathology
PSY 303 Week 1 Journal Your Personal Attitudes Toward
Psychopathology
Your Personal Attitudes Toward Psychopathology. For this journal, you
have two tasks:
Task 1: Indicate which character or historical figure you will investigate
for your Week Two assignment, Week Three assignment, and your Final
Paper. The character must be the same for each assignment, and you
may not alter your choice after the conclusion of Week Two.
Review this list of movies or this list of historical case studies that are
approved for use for this assignment (these are available in your online
classroom). You must choose from the provided lists.

Task 2: This week’s discussion forum and readings may have triggered
some personal thoughts and feelings regarding abnormal psychology.
One of the most important aspects of developing competence in
abnormal psychology is to be honestly and completely aware of your
personal attitudes toward people who have mental health conditions.
This 250- to 500-word journal entry is an opportunity for you to
honestly reflect on your thoughts regarding abnormal psychology. For
instance, what insights on bias or prejudice does this topic raise? What
potential perception issues or conflicts between belief systems and
knowledge sets might arise? Consider any other questions that came up
for you over the course of this week’s assignments. You may share as
much or as little as you wish, as long as it is evident in your journal that
you have taken the time to reflect.
This journal does not require you to share personal information about
your mental health or the mental health of people you know. Psychology
instructors cannot ask students to divulge this kind of information for
grading. For further information see Standard 7.04 in the Ethical
Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
Your journal will be graded based on whether or not you provided a
substantial and thoughtfulentry.

PSY 303 Week 2 Assignment Taking The
Patient’s History (2 Paper)

This Tutorial contains 2 Papers
PSY 303 Week 2 Assignment Taking the Patient’s History
Taking the Patient’s History. Each assignment in this course will help
you prepare your Final Paper. For each assignment, you will use the
movie character or historical figure you chose in your Week One
journal. Remember, after submitting this week’s assignment, you will not
be allowed to change your movie character or historical figure.
One of the first steps in any clinical assessment is to gather a thorough
history from the patient. This history includes, at minimum, the patient’s
identifying information, presenting problem, and relevant personal
history relating to their presenting problem.
For this assignment, you will write the first few sections of your
psychological report. View the complete instructions for the Final Paper
in the link within Week Five of your online course or the “Components
of Course Evaluation” section of this guide. This week, your assignment
must cover the following sections of your psychological report and
include the headings as listed:
1. Identifying Information
Within this section, you will record basic information on your patient,
including the person’s name, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, race,
occupation, and location of residence (country, state, region).
2. Chief Complaint/Presenting Problem
Within this section you will include the patient’s primary complaint
verbatim to identify the main source of his or her distress and/or

concerns. If there is no verbatim complaint, include observable
information to create an overall picture of the presenting problem.
Typically, this section within a psychological report seeks to answer the
following question (further elaboration within this section is
encouraged where possible):

complete the “Mood and Personality Disorders” quiz before you will be
allowed to post in this discussion forum. Before working on this
discussion, please read Chapters 6 and 9 in the course text and review
any relevant Instructor Guidance.

For this discussion, you will enter into a dialogue on another ongoing
controversy and contemporary issue regarding abnormal psychology.
Specifically, how accurate are the various media representations of
psychopathology?
As you enter into this conversation, analyze depictions of the
identification and treatment of abnormal behavior in media sources.
Then take a moment to consider and comment on the consequences of
accurate and inaccurate depictions of mental health conditions in
popular media. Identify at least one theoretical perspective (e.g.,
biological, cognitive, psychodynamic) from the literature that informs
your observations. Additionally, you should integrate information on
how media shapes our cultural expectations and norms with respect to
abnormal/maladaptive behavior. Be sure to utilize fundamental concepts
for the ethical application of psychology from Standards2.04 and 5.04
of the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct as you
create your responses.
If you chose to write about a movie character for your psychological
report, you are welcome to include your evaluation of that movie’s
depiction of psychopathology in this discussion forum. However, your
evaluation alone will not suffice in the completion of this discussion.
Again, the goal of this discussion forum is to have a single dynamic and
respectful conversation about how psychopathology is represented in the
media and the consequences of those representations, not a series of 20
to 30 separate conversations. This means that every post should be in
response to another post. Your instructor will be posting the initial

PSY 303 Week 2 Journal Responding To Bias
And Prejudice Toward Psychopathology

PSY 303 Week 2 Journal Responding to Bias and Prejudice Toward
Psychopathology
Responding to Bias and Prejudice Toward Psychopathology. In last
week’s journal, you honestly reflected on your thoughts regarding
abnormal psychology. Through that reflection, you may have recognized
that you have some biases or prejudices toward specific groups of
people. Recognizing any possible biases and prejudices is an essential
step toward becoming a scholar of psychology. Taking reasonable steps
toward resolving those biases and prejudices is a significant opportunity
for personal growth and professional development.
This 250- to 500-word journal entry is an opportunity for you to
describe ways that you might go about resolving any biases and
prejudices within yourself. Alternatively, you may want to write about
how you will respond to bias and prejudice you might encounter in your
everyday life.
For instance, what kinds of education or experiences might help you
address bias and prejudice within yourself? How might you respond to a
person who thinks that people with mental health conditions should be
locked away in institutions and never allowed to rejoin society? What
kind of education might you provide to a person who believes that
Autism is due to poor parenting? What resources might you draw from
to support healthy, accurate, and research-supported views regarding
psychopathology? What available resources might you point people to
who need more information on specific
issues? If you have any favorite websites or web resources, please add
entries for those into the Webliography for this course.

Consider any other questions that came up for you over the course of
this week’s activities. You may share as much or as little as you wish, as
long as it is evident in your journal that you have taken the time to
reflect.

Gathering Collateral Information. Each assignment in this course will
help you prepare your Final Paper. For all assignments, you will use the
movie character or historical figure that you used in your Week Two
assignment and selected in your Week One journal.
After gathering your patient’s history, it is considered good practice to
contact people who interact with the patient on a regular basis and/or
are related to the patient. These people often provide valuable insights
into the patient’s behavior(s) and mindset. Typically, the gathered
information provides a context for the patient’s environment.
For this assignment, you will write another section of your Final Paper.

Treatment Practices In Psychology

PSY 303 Week 3 Journal Questionable Treatment Practices in
Psychology
Questionable Treatment Practices in Psychology. This week’s discussion
touched on changes in perception regarding psychopathology in
response to shifts in societal attitudes toward specific behaviors. Now,
let us look critically at treatments in general. A number of treatments for
currently diagnosabledisorders have been discontinued, such as
trepanning and lobotomies, because they were discredited and are now
considered crude and/or barbaric. A number of disorders have been
completely removed from diagnostic manuals and their corresponding
treatments have been discredited and discontinued. For example, the
treatment known as conversion therapy or reparative therapy for
lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals is known to be ineffective and
even harmful.
In this 250- to 500-word journal entry, you will consider current
treatment methods (e.g., electroconvulsive therapy, exposure, and
response prevention). Choose a current treatment method and comment
on what ways future researchers might consider this current treatment
barbaric or crude. Explain why you chose to comment on this treatment.
What would need to happen for current acceptance of this treatment
procedure to change? What are the ethical implications involved in
using a questionable treatment option?

The Subjectivity and Art of Diagnosis. Although psychology prides itself
on being a science, the art of diagnosis goes beyond a simple checklist
of symptoms. Clinicians generally recognize that any diagnostic exercise
must include a culturally sensitive interpretation and analysis of
symptoms.
This week’s discussion touched on how an individual’s culture may

PSY 303 Week 5 Final Paper Psychological
Report (2 Paper)
PSY 303 Week 5 Final Paper Psychological Report
Focus of the Final Paper
For your Final Paper, you will demonstrate your knowledge of
psychopathology and apply your skills to a realistic scenario.
Throughoutthis course, you have developed unique knowledge and skill
sets that will allow you to critically analyze depictions of
psychopathology in popular media and historical case examples from an
informed point of view.
Your Final Paper will be a psychological report that may be based on a
character from a movie or a historical case study. Review the provided
lists of movies and historical case studies that are approved for use in

this assignment. You must choose from these lists. You may not use
examples from your personal life in the psychological report since doing
so would be unethical (see Standards 2.04 and 9.01a in the Ethical
Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct).
As you create this report, you will be taking on the role of a clinician
who is conducting an assessment and providing treatment
recommendations for a patient (a character from your selected film or
historical case study). Please note that a psychological report does not
follow the same structure for reports you may have used in other
courses. Your report must follow the format below and it must include
each of the sections and their headings listed in this order:
1. Identifying Information
Within this section, you will record basic information on your patient,
including the person’s name, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, race,
occupation, and location of residence (country, state, region).
Chief Complaint/Presenting Problem
Within this section, you will include the patient’s primary complaint
verbatim to identify the main source of his or her distress and/or
concerns. If there is no verbatim complaint, include observable
information to create an overall picture of the presenting problem.
Typically, this section within a psychological report seeks to address the
following question (further elaboration within this section is encouraged
where possible):
III. Symptoms
IV. Personal History
V. Family History
VI. Therapy History
VII. Medical Conditions
VIII. Substance Use
IX. Collateral
X. Results of Evaluation

XI. Diagnostic Impression With Differential Justification
XII. Recommendations

the conversation in “The Role of Big Pharma” discussion forum. Offer
and reflect on any conclusions that the class came to regarding the
discussion forum topic. What were the conclusions, and what are your

thoughts regarding these? If you do not see that the class came to any
significant conclusions, what kept conclusions from being drawn in the

might they be answered? What other issues regarding this controversy
need to be considered? Your journal will be graded based on whether or
not you provided a substantial and thoughtfulentry.
