Diagnostic Paper (100 Points)
Essentially, this is a sixth and highly expanded case study.
Prior to completing/working on this assignment, it may be good to review the elements of a Mental Status Examination (it may help clue you in to things in the movie and give you data points for your write up): Elements of mental status exam
You will select a movie from the provided movie list (REH 6320 Movie List or See Preliminary Documents in CAVNAS). You may also inquire about using a film not on the provided list with the instructor.
You will choose one character from the movie (typically the main character).
You will write a formal diagnostic report for this individual. You will provide information relative to the individual’s background and present level of functioning in conducting your review. As you are getting a “snapshot” of the individual, and do not have the ability to ask questions, it is expected you will be making professional assumptions regarding the person and their abilities. Justification for the assumptions should be included in the write up. You may wish to use the Biopsychosocial template as a template for the type of information you might wish to use.
A section outlining the diagnosis(es) you considered should be included, along with the rationale for their elimination.
The diagnosis should be clearly stated, along with the rationale as to why.
A section should be present outlining the future treatment plan.
While not a “movie report”, you may also include an opinion section on how accurately the movie was able to offer a portrayal of the disorder.
The final project should look like a “real” diagnostic report. Examples of such can be found on the internet. One example of a Simple Diagnostic Assessment for the Missouri Department of Social Services can be found here: https://dss.mo.gov/mhd/cs/psych/pdf/assessment_sample.pdfLinks to an external site.
Examples of report components used for the Minnesota Department of Human Services can be found at: http://www.dhs.state.mn.us/main/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION&RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased&dDocName=dhs16_163297Links to an external site.
The final project will not look like an APA style paper, but should still be about 10 to 15 pages in length.
Something I built with additional thoughts that may help you: Movie thoughts on the Movie Diagnostic Review
You may already have a template that is used in your present work setting, feel free to use that template. This one may also be helpful: Sample Psychological Report Legal Case
The TURN IT IN feature is activated for this assignment. The work should be your original work. Be sure to use proper APA references and citations if appropriate.
