Question.4432 - PSY 215 Project One Guidelines and RubricCompetencyIn this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:Describe various diagnoses of psychological disordersScenarioAt this point, Jamal feels enlightened (and empowered!) by how much he has learned about mental health during his time off between terms. He has learned about deinstitutionalization and its consequences for mental health and the public. Likewise, Jamal acknowledges how perspectives have changed regarding the duty of clinical professionals to provide treatment to those in need, as well as how social and cultural changes have influenced our conception of abnormality. In many cases, advancements in symptom classification and diagnostic assessment have caused us to question whether what we once viewed as disorders are actually disorders at all. Conversely, we now recognize new disorders that did not exist before.Given his newfound interest in mental health advocacy, Jamal wants to be able to speak to the many changes that have occurred within the mental health paradigm over time and how those changes continue to forge progressive new pathways in mental health reform. Jamal has recently created a blog to highlight the many ways in which we can change the conversation about abnormal behavior.For this project, you will first create a blog post that compares the diagnostic features and underlying biopsychosocial factors of various psychological disorders. Your post will outline the history of mental health disorders, the impact of deinstitutionalization, and the shared symptoms across various diagnoses. In addition, your post will provide perspectives, considerations, and awareness in an advocacy message that helps to change the conversation about a specific disorder.Supporting MaterialsThe following resource(s) may help support your work on the project:Module One Milestone: Refer to your milestone and milestone feedback before completing your project.Module Two Milestone: Refer to your milestone and milestone feedback before completing your project.Module Three Activity: Refer to the behavior list located in the scenario section of the Module Three Activity Guidelines and Rubric.Reading: Tips for Writing Popular Blog Posts: This Shapiro Library resource will help you with some useful tips for creating a blog post.Project One Template Word Document: You may use this template to complete Project One.Psychology Research Guide: This resource was created to help you find psychology related content.Textbook: Psychopathology, “DSM-5 and DSM-5-TR: A Quick Guide” begins on p.
