WK 6 DSM-5 Presentation – Conduct disorder

WK 6 DSM-5 Presentation – Assignment (Conduct disorder)

Diagnosed)

Prompt:

Due to the array of diagnoses, there is no way of being able to cover/address all of them in 7 weeks. However, this presentation offers each student ownership and delivery of a specific diagnosis not covered in the course materials. Your work will not only enhance your own knowledge but also your peers.

Your Tasks / Presentation Guidelines:

• Within the Week 3 “Choose Your DSM-5 Presentation Diagnosis” item, you chose an available diagnosis that has not been covered in this class. Based on your chosen diagnosis (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder) you will organize the criterion in a PowerPoint presentation, including all specifiers that go along with your chosen diagnosis. I encourage you to choose a diagnosis that interests or intrigues you.

• Note: some diagnoses have many specifiers and some have none (e.g., Borderline Personality Disorder). Provide research for the following (minimum of 5 sources for total presentation):
  • Are there any evidenced-based treatments (EBTs) for the particular diagnosis
    • If there are EBTs, identify briefly the specific interventions (remember CBT is not an intervention but an orientation that utilizes many interventions) and what are the mechanisms of change (i.e., what symptom(s) is the specific intervention targeting?)
  • Psychopharmacological treatments
    • What are they and what are their effects on the client?
  • o Identify the prevalence rate among the Hispanic community (be specific, is it US citizens, first generation, etc.). Describe the Hispanic cultures views of this particular diagnosis (may only find research that specifies diagnoses in general and not your specific diagnosis), etc.
  • After a thorough search for relevant literature, you may find very little to nothing, well, don’t despair, this too is relevant.
  • Speak to the research, or the lack thereof, and how that can impact us as clinicians in assigning the specific diagnosis chosen

• Presentation length:
  • Presentation must be a minimum of 10 min. and no more than 15 min. long. Practicing to be precise, succinct, and yet informative is a skill. This assignment will provide you that opportunity.
• Ensure that you are including specifiers
• If there is limited research, clearly state implications for practice
• Include a brief discussion regarding impact on functioning or quality of life
• If you are using direct verbiage from the DSM 5, please cite source, otherwise reframe to avoid perception of  plagiarism
• Be specific with evidence based treatments and not just a general statement that EBT’s can be effective
