Bipolar Disorder and Anticonvulsant/Mood Stabilizing Medications

“Dylan  was now having blackouts at frequent intervals. On more than one  occasion he had been warned by his doctor that he must go on a regime of  complete abstinence from alcohol if he was to survive…Dylan seemed  exhausted, self-preoccupied, and morbidly depressed. He went out alone,  and an hour and half later returned to announce, ‘I’ve had eighteen  straight whiskeys. I think that’s the record.’ (Shortly afterwards) he  died.”

—Quote about Welsh poet Dylan Thomas

Although each client is unique, trends emerge across cases that may result in numerous, negative, and lasting consequences (DSM-5). In the case of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who tended to abuse alcohol during manic episodes, the lasting consequence was death.

Counselors  are aware of tendencies and respond to behaviors like impulsivity in  order tocreate treatment plans that are intended to prevent or  ameliorate symptoms before lasting consequences occur. Although  counselors should follow established protocols by attempting to have  clients act on their own behalf, they should also understand that at any  time they might need to intervene to protect and assist these clients.

Select one of the following disorders treated with anticonvulsant/mood stabilizing medications:

  1. Schizoaffective disorder
  2. Bipolar I disorder
  3. Bipolar II disorder

For  this Discussion, review the Learning Resources. Create a case study of a  client with the selected disorder. Include the client’s age, gender,  major presenting factors (including losses and symptom manifestation),  when symptoms emerged, and any other pertinent information. Consider  possible medical treatments that a psychiatrist might prescribe for the  hypothetical client and the role of the counselor in these treatment  cases. Be creative in your description, but also be as realistic as  possible. Use the DSM-5 and your other texts to construct the background story for your hypothetical client’s presentation

one of the central premises of social psychology is the power of the situation. The very definition of social psychology reflects this, pointing out the influence of others on thoughts, feelings, and actions.  In this discussion, we will consider contextualization by evaluating the fundamental and far-reaching role of culture.

To inform your thinking on this topic, begin by reading “Toward a Psychological Science for a Cultural Species” (Heine & Norenzayan, 2006), “Lessons Learned from a Lifetime of Applied Social Psychological Research” (Ross, 2004), and “Reflections on the Stanford Prison Experiment: Genesis, Rransformations, Consequences” (Zimbardo, Maslach, & Haney, 2000).

Then, locate a peer-reviewed empirical article (see Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) describing a research study that examines a psychological phenomenon from a cultural perspective.  Discuss the research, considering the various elements of a critical review (see Using a Scientific Journal Article to Write a Critical Review (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) with reference to/explanation of the more broad social-pychological domain (social thinking, social relations, social influence).  Appraise the role of culture in our psychological understanding of this phenomenon.  Assess the relevance of one “lesson” of applied psychology (Ross, 2004) to your selected study.ne of the central premises of social psychology is the power of the situation.

At this point in the course, you should have begun reviewing the guidelines and grading criteria for your final projects. Please note: SCHOLARSHIP is the largest part of the grading criteria for this assignment, and you are expected to research the topic or cultural area you are addressing in this paper. If you only rely on the course materials, you will not earn high marks in the area of scholarship. SO, if your interviewee identified as Muslim, for example, you are expected to find library articles that address this spiritual practice. If your interviewee identifies as a member of the LGBT community, you should be reading articles that help you to understand this better and include reflections and scholarly support in this area. If you interview someone who identifies as bi-racial, then research should be included that explores this. I hope this makes sense. Please contact me BEFORE the assignment is due if you need assistance with this. You need to have at least 4 outside professional resources written within the past 5 years in order to receive the maximum points for the scholarship portion of your paper.

The Final Project is a 4- to 6-page narrative that includes the following components:

Have your paper in three sections:

I. Summary of Interview (Be sure you address each question)

II. Create Profile

This is the section where you have the ADDRESSING Model Chart with all of your interviewee’s chart information listed. After the chart, you will explain your interviewee’s cultural worldview which is not something you are directly addressing in the first section.

III. Summation section–answer all of the questions.

References:

This paper has 8 points devoted to scholarship. You must have outside scholarly references written within the last 5 years. My recommendation is having a minimum of four.

You are not required to submit the typed transcript of your interview.

I expect any previous feedback on writing and APA style to be used. I need to see evidence that you tried to improve in these areas if previously noted.

Prepare a table of historical influences and modern descriptions that identifies and explains five commonly used contemporary clinical

approaches in psychotherapy in the treatment of mental illness. Your audience for this table is a class of graduate students who will use your

table as a study guide as they learn the history of clinical psychology.

Column 1 in your table of influences should present the commonly used name of the approach and a brief definition as well as one or two key

aspects of its practice today. Column 2 should list one or two of its principle theorists or founders with a few important details about who they

were and what they contributed. Column 3 should contain one or two individuals or traditions from history that influenced the development of

the approach. Finally, Column 4 should include a brief statement of your assessment of the efficacy of the approach. You can include a brief

introduction before the table and/or a brief conclusion after the table if you wish, but a reference list is required.

Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly

resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages  Use APA format.
