Choose a diagnosis (from the approved list below) that interests or intrigues you (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder)

Sleep-Wake Disorders – Insomnia Disorder 

SOWK 7371 DSM-5 Presentation Purpose Due to the array of diagnoses, there is no way of being able to cover/address all of them in 7 weeks. This presentation will offer you the ownership and delivery of a specific diagnosis that may not be covered in the course materials. Your work will not only enhance your own knowledge but also your peers. This will be a multiweek project. Your presentation is due in WK6 and peer responses will be due in WK7. Carefully read through the instructions below and be sure to address any questions or concerns early in the course. Instructions 1. Choose a diagnosis (from the approved list below) that interests or intrigues you (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder) and organize the criterion in a PowerPoint presentation, including all specifiers that go along with your chosen diagnosis. (Due in WK3) Note: some diagnoses have many specifiers (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder) and some have none (e.g., Borderline Personality Disorder). 2. Conduct research (a minimum of 5 sources) that address the following: • Are there any evidenced-based treatments (EBTs) for the particular diagnosis? o 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 o What are they and what are their effects on the client? • 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. Note: If you’d like feedback from your instructor on your presentation ideas, you can submit a draft in Week 5. 3. Create a PowerPoint presentation addressing your diagnosis and your research (between 10 to 15 minutes in length). Your presentation needs to be precise, succinct, and yet informative. (Due in WK6)
