Personality disorders can arise through trauma, and they often carry added stigma. In this Discussion, you analyze a case study focused on a personality disorder while also reflecting on how power, privilege, and stigma affect such diagnoses.To prepare: Review the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion and consider your differential diagnostic process for them. Be sure to consider any past diagnoses and what influence those might have on their current diagnosis and needs. Finally, return to the Week 1 resources on stigma and reflect on stigma related to personality disorders.Post a 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following: Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may need clinical attention). Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months. Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis. Support your decision by identifying the symptoms which meet specific criteria for each diagnosis. Identify any close differentials and why they were eliminated. Concisely support your decisions with the case materials and readings. Explain how diagnosing a client with a personality disorder may affect their treatment. Analyze how power and privilege may influence who is labeled with a personality disorder and which types of personality disorders. Identify how trauma affects the case, either precipitating the diagnosis and/or resulting from related symptoms or treatment of diagnosis.

how war and combat may affect service men and women and their families, as well as how the experience of war and combat may vary among military branches.

/in /by

In the United States, war is a declaration made by Congress to opposing countries or forces. Combat refers to the activities executed in war. Military personnel are trained to respond to any combat situation—any military order that requires personnel to deploy into hostile territory at a moment’s notice. This is the military’s primary duty. What is seen, heard, and experienced in such a situation is unique and often traumatizes military personnel. Think about what it might be like for a Marine to “put down” (kill) someone for the first time. What might it be like to be standing with your fellow soldier having a social conversation one minute only to see him killed by a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) the next? What is it like to be injured in combat and to return home with missing limbs?These are experiences most civilians will never have, and they may have difficulty understanding the depth of the experiences’ impact on various aspects of an individual’s life. There is a common saying about war and combat in military culture: “For those who were there, no explanation is needed. For those who were not, no explanation is possible.”In studying the work of a helping professional in your particular discipline, you may have explored the impact of trauma on individuals and their loved ones. As a helping professional preparing to support the needs of military personnel, you must prepare to address the needs of men and women who have engaged in combat. You also need to consider how an individual’s war and combat experience can impact the family.For this Discussion, you address how war and combat may affect service men and women and their families, as well as how the experience of war and combat may vary among military branches.Post 1. a description of one psychological, one physical, and one emotional effect of war and combat on military personnel and their families.2. Explain your perspective on how the experience or effect of war and combat might vary among the branches of the military.3. Support your response with the resources or current literature.4. Finally, explain how you might use this information as a helping professional. ( 1 to 2 pages only)Be sure to support your post with specific references to the resources.

Treatment of Substance Use Disorders

/in /by

Of the substance disorders, alcohol-related disorders are the most prevalent even though only a small percentage of individuals actually receive help. Recidivism in the substance treatment world is also very high. As research into treatment has developed, more and more evidence shows that genes for alcohol-metabolizing enzymes can vary by genetic inheritance. Women have been identified as particularly vulnerable to the impacts of alcohol. Native Americans, Asians, and some Hispanic and Celtic cultures also have increased vulnerability to alcohol misuse.

Even with these developments, treatment continues to spark debate. For many years, the substance use field itself has disagreed with mental health experts as to what treatments are the most effective for substance use disorders and how to improve outcomes. The debate is often over medication-assisted treatment (MAT) versus abstinence-based treatment (ABT). Recently the American Psychiatric Association has issued guidelines to help clinicians consider integrated solutions for those suffering with these disorders. In this Discussion, you consider your treatment plan for an individual with a substance use disorder.

To prepare: Read the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion and the materials for the week. Then assume that you are meeting with the client as the social worker who recorded this case.

Posta 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following:

  1. Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for the client. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may need clinical attention). Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months.
  2. Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.
  3. Describe the assessment(s) you would use to validate the client’s diagnosis, clarify missing information, or track her progress.
  4. Summarize how you would explain the diagnosis to the client.
  5. Explain how you would engage the client in treatment, identifying potential cultural considerations related to substance use.
  6. Describe your initial recommendations for the client’s treatment and explain why you would recommend MAT or ABT.
  7. Identify specific resources to which you would refer the client. Explain why you would recommend these resources based on the client’s diagnosis and other identity characteristics (e.g., age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, class, ethnicity, religion, etc.).

multicultural observation using publicly available movies, TV shows, or other video media

/in /by

Conduct a multicultural observation using publicly available movies, TV shows, or other video media.  Regarding your choice of a movie, you may draw inspiration from the supplementary article by Greene and colleagues (2014). Spend one hour observing a group of people from a minority culture or subculture, in particular their non-verbal communication.  In your posted message, indicate to what extent those non-verbal aspects helped you locate the characters or cultural groups on the collectivist – individualist continuum, or high- vs. low-context cultural dimension. Do NOT conduct a formal in vivo observation.

Greene, J. H., Barden, S. M., Richardson, E. D., & Hall, K. G. (2014). The influence of film and experiential pedagogy on multicultural counseling self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competence. Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 14(5), 62-78. Retrieved from http://josotl.indiana.edu/article/view/12656/19593

In getting ready for your multicultural observation, I want to encourage you to check some of the barriers that are more likely to arise when doing cross-cultural counselling. Sue and Sue offer some valuable insights on those barriers that could hinder our effective counselling work with culturally diverse clients, this is a juicy old article!
