Assignment 2: LASA 1: Case Studies Presentation

By Week 3, Day 7, create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to educate a group of medical students participating in their grand rounds. There should be at least ten slides in your Microsoft PowerPoint as well as a title slide and a slide listing all your sources for creating this slideshow. You should also create speaker notes for each slide of your presentation, which include the main talking points for the topic addressed on the slide. Save the presentation as AU_PSY350_M3_A2_LastName_FirstInitial.ppt. Submit your assignment to the M3 Assignment 2 LASA 1 Dropbox.

In order to create your slideshow, review the two case studies and then answer the questions following each case study:

Case Study 1: Isaac is a fifty-nine-year-old man. Several months ago, he noticed a slight tremor in his hands. He assumed this to be a normal consequence of aging. The tremor, however, gradually worsened, along with some muscular stiffness and slowness in initiating movement. The tremor was more pronounced when he was not voluntarily moving. Isaac was referred to a neurologist, who diagnosed him with Parkinson’s disease. After visiting the neurologist, Isaac and his family ask you to further explain this disorder. Isaac also asks about L-dopa as a treatment—the neurologist had mentioned L-dopa as an effective medication but had instead prescribed selegiline:

  • What are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?
  • What are the possible causes? Be sure to discuss both hereditary and environmental factors thought to contribute to this disease.
  • What parts of the brain does this disease affect?
  • Why do you think the neurologist prescribed selegiline instead of L-dopa?

Case Study 2: Sabrina is a twenty-seven-year-old woman who recently underwent a corpus callosotomy. Initially after surgery, when given a verbal command, Sabrina demonstrated marked apraxia of the left hand. However, the extent of this issue diminished over time. Answer the following questions about this client:

  • What disorder was most likely being treated by this operation, and how is the surgery performed?
  • In what way is the surgery expected to help Sabrina?
  • What are the risks and benefits of the surgery? Compare these to the risks and benefits of an alternative treatment. If the decision were yours, which would you recommend? Explain your decision.
  • What was the cause of the apraxia?
  • What does the reduction in apraxia symptoms tell us about hemispheric specialization?

Assignment 2: Self-Regulation and Control

According to positive psychology, the absence of good feelings or experiences can cause more negative emotions. Focusing on the positive and bringing in positive experiences may cultivate pleasure, engagement, and meaning. Individuals can learn to control and even increase the number of positive experiences as well as to regulate and diminish the number of negative experiences.

Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, identify and analyze two articles concerning empirical evidence supporting the use of positive psychology, especially in the area of self-regulation and control.

Based on your research and analysis of the articles, address the following:

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of five positive psychology techniques.
  • Examine empirically supported positive psychology interventions to promote well-being.
  • Make a minimum of five recommendations for self-regulation and control.

Write a 3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

By Week 4, Day 7, deliver your assignment to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox.
