1. Part One: Discovery Draft
Before you start this part of the assignment, make sure you have
your topic completely narrowed down so that you know which
abstract concept you will be writing about. Then, you will free-
write about your chosen concept. Your goal should be to
generate about 2 pages, and the overall purpose is to start to
notice what you already know about your concept and what you
might need to find out. Please do not worry about having any
organization or flow to this assignment. It can be brainstorm-y
and messy. That is the whole point of a discovery draft!
To help you get started, you might try answering the following
questions:
·
1. What are some common definitions that exist for my concept?
(For example, how do philosophers, lawyers, scientists,
historians, other experts, etc. view my concept? How does
someone who is part of my community view this concept vs an
outsider?)
2. Has the definition of my concept evolved over time? What
was the "original" definition? What happened to cause the
definition to change or evolve?
3. What is my personal understanding of my concept? What
personal experience led me to develop my own unique
understanding?
4. Why/How is my unique and personal definition of the
concept useful for others in my community and beyond? Who,
specifically, really needs to hear and understand my unique and
personal definition?
5. What special strategies might I use to fully explain my
concept to others (specific example, analogy, description,
compare/contrast to similar concepts, classification (is this an
emotion, a mindset, a philosophy, etc)?
Part Two: Research Plan
Consider what information you still need to find out about your

2. concept. What search terms might you use to google that
information? Have you found any websites that seem promising
for helping you understand the history or different
understandings of your contested concept?

.CASE STUDY.. JENNY: Hi there.
My name is Dr. Jenny.
Can you tell me your name and how old you are?
DEV CORDOBA: My name is Dev, and I am seven years old.
DR. JENNY: Wonderful.
Dev, can you tell me what the month and the date is?
And where are we right now?
DEV CORDOBA: Today is St. Patrick's Day.
It's March 17th.
DR. JENNY: Do you know where we are?
DEV CORDOBA: We're at the school.
DR. JENNY: Good.
Did your mom tell you why you're here today to see me?
DEV CORDOBA
: She thought you were
going to help me be better.
DR. JENNY: Yes, I am here to help you.
Have you ever come to see someone like me before,
or talked to someone like me before to help you
with your mood?
DEV CORDOBA: No, never.
DR. JENNY: OK.
Well, I would like to start with getting
to know you a little bit better, if that's OK.

3. What do you like to do for fun when you're at home?
DEV CORDOBA: Oh, I have a dog.
His name is Sparky.
We play policeman in my room.
And I have LEGOs, and I could build something if you want.
DR. JENNY: I would love to see what you build with your
LEGOs.
Maybe you can bring that in for me next appointment.
Who lives in your home?
DEV CORDOBA: My mom and my baby brother and Sparky.
DR. JENNY: Do you help your mom with your brother?
DEV CORDOBA: No.
His breath smells like bad milk all the time.
[CHUCKLES] And he cries a lot, and my mom
spends more time with him.
DR. JENNY: So how do you feel most of the time?
Do you feel sad or worried or mad or happy?
DEV CORDOBA: Worried.
DR. JENNY: What types of things do you worry about?
DEV CORDOBA: I don't know, just everything.
I don't know.
DR. JENNY: OK.
So your mom tells me you also have a lot of bad dreams.
Can you tell me a little more about your bad dreams,
like maybe what they're about, how many nights you
might have them?
DEV CORDOBA: I dream a lot that I'm lost,
that I can't find my mom or my little brother.
They seem like they happen almost every night, but maybe
not some nights.
DR. JENNY: Now that must feel horrible.
Have you ever been lost before when maybe you weren't asleep?
DEV CORDOBA: Oh, no.
No.
And I don't like the dark.
My mom puts me in a night light with the door open,

4. so I know she's really there.
DR. JENNY: That seems like that probably would help.
Do you like to go to school?
Or would you rather not go?
DEV CORDOBA
: I worry about by mom and brother
when I'm at school.
All I can think about is what they're doing,
and if they're OK.
And besides, nobody likes me there.
They call me Mr. Smelly.
DR. JENNY: Well.
That's not nice at all.
Why do you feel they call you names?
DEV CORDOBA: I don't know.
But my mom says it's because I won't take my baths.
[SIGHS] She tells me to, and it--
and I have night accidents.
DR. JENNY: Oh, how does that make you feel?
DEV CORDOBA: Sad and really bad.
They don't know how it feels for their daddy to never come
home.
What if my mom doesn't come home too?
DR. JENNY: Yes, you seem to worry about that a lot.
Does this worry stop you from being able to learn in school?
DEV CORDOBA: Well, [SIGHS] my teacher is, all the time,
telling me to sit down and focus.
And I get in trouble for [SIGHS] looking out the window.
And she moved my chair beside her desk,
but I don't mind because Billy leaves me alone now.
DR. JENNY: Billy.
Have you ever hit Billy or anyone else?
DEV CORDOBA: No, but I did throw my book at him.
DR. JENNY: Hmm.
DEV CORDOBA: [CHUCKLES]
DR. JENNY: What about yourself?

5. Have you ever hit yourself or thought about doing something
to hurt yourself?
DEV CORDOBA: No.
DR. JENNY: OK.
Well, Dev, I would like to talk to your mom now.
We're going to work together, and we're
going to help you feel happier, less worried,
and be able to enjoy school more.
Is that OK?
DEV CORDOBA: Yes.
Thank you.
MISS CORDOBA: Hi.
DR. JENNY: Thank you, Miss Cordoba, for bringing in Dev.
I feel we can help him.
So tell me, what is your main concerns for Dev?
MISS CORDOBA: [SIGHS] Well, he just seems so anxious
and worried all the time, silly things like I'm going to die,
or I won't pick him up from school.
He says I love his brother more than him.
He'll throw things around the house,
and gets in trouble at school for throwing things.
He has a difficult time going to sleep.
He wants his lights on, doors open, gets up frequently.
And he's all the time wanting to come home
from school,
claims stomach aches, and headaches
almost daily.
He won't eat.
He's lost three pounds in the past three weeks.
Our pediatrician sent us to you because he doesn't believe
anything is physically wrong.
Oh, and I almost forgot.
He still wets the bed at night.
[SIGHS] We've tried everything.
His pediatrician did give him DDVAP,

6. but it doesn't seem to help.
DR. JENNY: Hmm.
OK.
Can you tell me, any blood relatives
have any mental health or substance use issues?
MISS CORDOBA: No, not really.
DR. JENNY: What about his father?
He said that he never came home?
MISS CORDOBA: Oh, yes.
His father was deployed with the military when Dev was five.
I told Dev he was on vacation.
I didn't know what to tell him.
I thought he was too young to know about war.
And his father was killed, so Dev still
doesn't understand that his father didn't just leave him.
[SIGHS] I just feel so guilty that all of this is my fault.
DR. JENNY: Miss Cordoba, you did the right thing
by bringing in Dev.
We can help you with him.
MISS CORDOBA: Oh, thank you.
Review the video, Case Study: Dev Cordoba. You will use this
case as the basis of this Assignment
INSTRUCTIONS/ least three evidence-based, peer-reviewed
journal articles
Develop a Focused SOAP Note, including your differential
diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary
diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the
template:
Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this
patient.
Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this
patient.
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their
chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential

7. diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms?
How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
Objective: What observations did you make during the
psychiatric assessment?
Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination
results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a
minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence,
listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare
the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis
and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential
diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-
thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you
selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for
the specific patient case.
Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan
for treatment and management, including alternative therapies?
Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments,
alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters, as well as a
rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also
incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient
education strategy.
Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this
patient if you could conduct the session again? Discuss what
your next intervention would be if you could follow up with this
patient. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to
legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking
beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health
promotion, and disease prevention, taking into consideration
patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other
risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
Provide at least three evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal
articles or evidenced-based guidelines that relate to this case to
support your diagnostics and differential diagnoses. Be sure
they are current (no more than 5 years old).
