The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – 5 is the current tool used by mental health providers to ascertain a possible diagnosis for behaviors that are being exhibited by a patient or client. You are to choose one of the mental disorders and write a 4-page paper about that disorder. Your paper is to include not only the presentation of the behaviors, but also, in your opinion, which of the psychological theories could be successful in treating the disorder.  

In addition to the theory you choose for treatment, you are to include basic information on how the theory can be applied. Do not write about the following disorders: Bipolar I or II, schizophrenia, or depression.  There are many disorders from which to choose your topic.  The DSM-5 will give you many to chose from.  Include in your paper if medication is recommended as part of the treatment plan, but you only need to state whether or not medication is recommended.  You are not a psychiatrist so you are not expected to know which medication is recommended.

You will find information in the textbook that addresses the physical presentations of the disorders, and which theory may be applied to patients.  The therapeutic interventions are to be based on credible information; however, you will not be graded on whether or not you chose the correct  method (therapy & medication) for the diagnosis. 

You are to use the textbook for a reference; however, you must have at least 4 other references that are both valid and reliable.  All resources must be reliable, credible, and valid, and Wikipedia may NOT be quoted, nor magazines and newspapers.

Your paper must be in APA formatting and have an Introduction, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Conclusion sections. The Title and Reference pages are not included in the 4-page requirement.  Proofread your paper before you post it.  Verify accuracy of citations and references. 

Do not click FINAL until you are confident that you have made the necessary changes to correct grammar, spelling, sentence structure, citations, and formatting errors. The tools for APA formatting are posted in Announcements. They are to be used to help you format your paper.
