. Identify the theoretical  perspective you are using, and describe the most salient characteristics  and issues presented by the individual

Instructions

To complete this assignment, first select one of the two case studies  located in the Resources, either Case Study: John or Case Study:  Sandra.

Then, write and submit a 6- to 7-page paper including the following major sections, in addition to title and reference pages:

• Introductory paragraph: Be sure to identify the case study you selected and the accompanying diagnosis.
• Analysis: Analyze the case study from the  perspective of a personality theory. Identify the theoretical  perspective you are using, and describe the most salient characteristics  and issues presented by the individual. Integrate factors such as  gender, ethnicity, culture, and age into your analysis, as appropriate.
• Plan: Describe how your chosen theory of  personality applies to a professional situation by describing how you  would approach resolving the case study. Devise a plan to work with the  individual based on your particular type of practice and the theoretical  perspective you chose. For example, if you work as a clinician, use  personality theory to inform your conceptualization of the case and  intervention. If you work as an I/O psychologist, use personality theory  to help inform aspects of your interaction with the case study subject.  Make sure that your plan is supported by your analysis.
• Evaluation: Evaluate the personality theory you  used: assess its usefulness in relation to the case study and identify  any limitations or gaps you discovered.
• Concluding paragraph.

Include citations as appropriate, using APA format (current edition).  Refer to the Case Study Scoring Guide to guide your work and to learn  how this assignment will be graded.
