Part 1: Examining Models of Psychopathology

In this section, you will apply the three models (biological, psychological, and sociocultural) to the case of Annie provided in the assignment instructions. To meet the first Distinguished criterion, “Applies key principles from theoretical models of psychopathology to describe and identify psychological disorders and uses specific examples to support the description” apply each model to explain what is happening for Annie and her family. Note that each model includes at least one central idea that you will need to address. This can be accomplished in 2 or 3 well contructed paragraphs or roughly one page.

Now that the key principals of each model have been established, describe how each model explains what contributed to Annie and her family’s presenting situation. To meet the Distinguished criteria, “Analyzes current perspectives about the etiology of psychological disorders based on theoretical models and uses specific examples to support the analysis” present a rationale for how well these models account for the etiology of Annie’s fears and how the family has adapted. Cite sources beyond your text to develop your analysis. This can also be accomplished in about one page.

Part 2: Assessment Instruments to Aid in Diagnosis

This section will require that you explore the assessments linked in the instructions and develop an assessment strategy utilizing two instruments that takes Annie and her family’s culture into consideration before you begin writing. The Distinguised criterion reads, “Identifies culturally relevant strategies for administering and interpreting assessment and test results providing specific examples to support the explanation”. Notice that the assessment strategy is the focus and includes both administering and providing results of the assessments. Carefully consider your assessment options so your strategy is clear and will fit within the framework of how you will practice within your specialization. MFCT learners should include one of the assessments reviewed in the article. MHC learners may opt to focus on the assessmenets provided in the DSM. Address how they would be utlized with support from the literature. Optional articles in the course syllabus can be located by entering the title of the article in the search tool Summon found on the main page of the Capella Library.

Once the strategy is established, examine how culture will be taken into account when formulating the diagnosis. The specific diagnosis for Annie is not needed. Address the Distinguished criteria, “ Analyzes the impact of culture upon the application of diagnostic systems drawing from the professional literature to support the analysis”. What information included in the case is relevant to consider? What is cultural information is not provided that will be important to explore with the family before a diagnosis is determined? This will require support from peer reviewed articles. You are encouraged to locate articles through the Capella Library. This section of your paper will likely require one and a half to two pages.

Part 3: Systemic Perspectives for Diagnosis

This third section addresses the fifth criteria of the scoring guide, “Analyzes models of assessment perspective from a systems perspective with support from scholarly sources”. Annie is presenting for treatment with her family and they have a shared problem. Consider how well the DSM and ICD codes can adequately capture what will be the focus of treatment from a systems perspective working with Annie and her family. Note that you need to identify the specific V and Z codes that apply including the limitations and risks of using these codes as part of your analysis. Establishing a position will require support from peer reviewed articles. You are encouraged to locate articles through the Capella Library or the Optional Readings included in your course syllabus. This section of your paper will likely require one page.

Conclusion

Please provide a conclusion that summarizes the main ideas of your paper.
