Advanced Psycholopathology Final Exam

/in /by

Begin Final Exam

The Final Exam consists of eight (8) Essay questions. Use the reading assignments thoroughly in an integrative discussion of your own understanding of the questions posed. Remember to reference all work cited or quoted by the text author. You should be doing this often in your responses. If you use outside resources, they should support the text information, but not replace the text.

All discussions must take into account the legal and ethical considerations, as well as issues of culture and human diversity that may pertain to the questions below. Legal and Ethical information is in Chapter 16 of the course text. Cultural information is covered throughout the course text and DSM 5. You may use alternative cultural resources to enhance your work.

Your response to each question should be approx. 1 page per question.

Your total assignment should be 8-9 pages plus a title and reference page.

Due Week 8

1. What is meant by the notion that mental illness is a social construction? How does cross-cultural research suggest that psychopathology is universal rather than a social construction?

2. It is widely recognized that people with autism spectrum disorder display deficits in communication and social behavior. It is perhaps less often noted that in some areas, their abilities may surpass those of people without autism spectrum disorder. What is your understanding if this theory? How do the enhanced abilities of those with autism spectrum disorder lend credence to an evolutionary approach to psychopathology?

3. Phrases such as “broken hearts” and “hurt feelings” liken emotional pain to physical pain. To what extent is the metaphor implied in these phrases supported neuroscientifically?

4. The role of trauma and the experience of unusual states of awareness or identity in the dissociative disorders have led psychologists to explore the relationship between dissociation and post-traumatic stress, on the one hand, and hypnosis, on the other. Briefly summarize the results of this research.

5. Discuss some of the reasons why the treatment of substance-related and addictive disorders is especially challenging. Addiction to methamphetamine is particularly difficult to treat. Review some of the cognitive deficits seen in methamphetamine addiction and explain how these deficits complicate efforts to treat the addiction.

6. Outline the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of the etiology of schizophrenia. In what way does schizophrenia represent a paradox from an evolutionary standpoint?

7. Discuss the evidence for genetic and environmental contributions to personality disorders. Identify the specific experiences that seem to underlie personality disorders. Which personality disorder seems the most genetic?

8. Highlight the beneficial effects of physical exercise not only on preventing cognitive impairment among older adults without neurocognitive disorders but also on reversing decline among those with mild neurocognitive impairment.

A Historical Or Fictional Character

/in /by

This Case Study is to demonstrate increased knowledge/growth in your ability to identify behaviors and to communicate about treatment. You will demonstrate course-related knowledge in speaking more “deeply” about 1 specific client or complete a case study on a historical or fictional character. Your case study will identify specific behaviors and how those behaviors are evaluated in light of a specific theory.

You will also identify ways that specific behaviors can be addressed in a manner consistent with the theories of your field.(Psychology) (Domestic & Sexual Violence)

· Without violating confidentiality, provide background information on your subject (or group/situation), including behaviors observed, any medical information that is available, socio-cultural factors that might affect treatment, etc.

· Provide information about current behaviors, specifically maladaptive behaviors, and current treatment plans/progress.

· Using knowledge gained in your study of psychology in general and/or your cognate in particular, provide a brief theoretical explanation of your case. (This treatment plan may be hypothetical.)

The paper must fulfil the following criteria:

· 3–4 pages (This does not include title, abstract or reference pages) Therefore, 6-7 pages total includes title, abstract and reference page.

· Current APA format

· This document must maintain the strictest level of confidentiality.

Theoretical Rationale Paper (Psychology)

/in /by

THEORETICAL RATIONALE PAPER

Individual Assignment

Each team member will work independently to write a 4 page (double-spaced) theoretical rationale that explains the choices that you made in creating your lesson. We are studying different theoretical perspectives on learning (e.g., Piaget, Vygotsky, behaviorism, information processing, situated learning, observational learning), and I would like you to explain how your lesson is based in learning theory and research. For example, was your lesson primarily Vygotskian? If so, what specific aspects of your instruction/ objectives/ assessment were consistent with Vygotskian developmental or educational principles? Be very specific in your analysis. Show me how well you understand the theories and related concepts. Most lessons draw from a few different theories. Just be sure you can explain your choices. APA style parenthetical citations should be included as well as a full references list. OUTSIDE CLASS RESEARCH ON THE THEORIES IS NOT REQUIRED. YOU CAN PULL FROM THE TEXTBOOK AND CLASS NOTES. (BOOK; Woolfolk, A. E. (2016). Educational psychology (13th ed.). Boston: Pearson.)

Information needed for the paper:

Lesson tittle: ‘The use of Foam Rollers’

Target Audience: College Students

Materials: Foam Rollers, Kahoot Questionnaire, Post Presentation Diagram Quiz

Instruction Objectives:

1. When students are asked about foaming rolling and avoiding tight muscles, students will be able to express the different ways to roll out muscles (Cognitive: Knowledge)

2. After a workout or physical activity, students will be able to loosen their muscles through the different foam rolling strategies (Psychomotor)

3. When asked to demonstrate a rolling technique, students will be able to perform and explain the desired technique (Psychomotor)

Classroom Management:

· Students will work in pairs performing the rolling techniques

o One student will roll while one student holds cards that direct the other student on which technique they are going to do

Theories

· Social Cognitive Theory

o Demonstrating the techniques

§ Bandura argues that people acquire knowledge by observing others

· Vygotsky’s theory

o Placing Students in groups and allowing them to perform the different stretches

§ People learn by doing things and being active in their learning

§ Guided Learning

· Information Proccessing

o Homework/Take Home Quiz

o Students will active their long term memory through rehearsing the techniques

o Through encoding, which is performing the desired technique, they will move the short term memory to long term

· Operant Conditoning

o Positive Reinforment

§ Students will be asked questions about different stretches and give granola bars as a reward for their answer

NOTE: The exercises demonstrated are going to be for lower body only, specifically, HARMSTRING, CALF and QUADRICEP
