Review The Instructions For The Psychiatric Diagnosis Assignment In We
Review the instructions for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in Week Six. This week’s assignment will build upon the work you have completed on your chosen case study in the Week One or Week Two discussion forum. For this assignment, you will construct an outline of your Week Six Psychiatric Diagnosis paper. This outline is meant to provide structure for your final assignment, help initiate your thought process on your case study, and ensure you are on the right path toward completing your diagnosis successfully. Your outline should be one to two pages of content and include a brief two- to three-sentence description of each of the required areas listed in the Week Six Psychiatric Diagnosis instructions, with the exception of the following two areas:
- Justify the use of the chosen diagnostic manual (i.e., why this manual was selected over others).
- Evaluate symptoms within the context of an appropriate theoretical orientation for this diagnosis (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, biological, sociocultural, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, integrative, etc.). Note: Focus on how the theoretical orientation explains the client's symptoms and presenting problems, not on therapy or treatment approaches.
For these two areas, provide a complete draft of your justification and evaluation based on your case study. You must include explicit information on the chosen theoretical orientation and the justification for the diagnostic manual. Support your reasoning with a minimum of five peer-reviewed sources published within the last 10 years. These sources will also inform your final Psychiatric Diagnosis paper. Your outline should specify which sources will apply to the justification and evaluation sections.
The outline must be one to two single-spaced pages (excluding title and references) and formatted according to APA style.
