Instructions

For this final assignment, you will identify a specific psychiatric condition about which you would like to develop a deeper understanding. To do this, you will prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation in which you will present a clinical case, provide a diagnosis, and outline a treatment approach using the best current treatment evidence. Speaker notes must be included in the slides, along with APA-formatted references supporting the information provided.

The PowerPoint presentation (15-20 slides total, not including title or reference slides) must include 1-2 slides addressing each of these:

· A succinct case summary/presentation.

· A thorough diagnosis.

· A slide that addresses the five domains of Garcia and Petrovitch’s (2015) Diversity/Resilience formulation (see Week 1 readings): Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Community, Spiritual, and Diversity. How is each of these illustrated in the client vignette?  

· Summary of the current evidence on causes of the condition

· Recommendations for individual therapy.

· Recommendations for couple or family therapy.

· Best current medications and biomedical interventions (TMS, ECT) used to treat the condition. 

· Ethical issues that may present with this diagnosis.

· Ways in which you will collaborate with other members of the treatment team.

· Potential self-care issues that may present in working with this diagnosis.

This assignment is a narrated PowerPoint case presentation (15-20 slides) that will be delivered with a group of colleagues and supervisors with a minimum of 5 scholarly, professional references (please do not use client education or lay information materials) (no more than five years old) (not including the DSM-5). Please make sure the information is properly cited as used in the slides.  Please provide speaker notes in the “notes” section of your slides. Your notes should be 50-200 words in length.  This information must not be directly copied from the source.

This activity is used to measure your progress in accomplishing the program’s Student Learning Outcome (SLO) #2, which states, “Apply family systems-oriented clinical skills across a variety of contexts.”

Length: 15-20 slides, not including title and reference slides.  Presentation must be narrated and include speaker notes (50-200 words) for each slide. All information used from outside sources must be properly formatted using APA citation standards.
