psychological disorder

In at least 1000 words typed
in proper APA format (including a 12-point font, double spacing, a title
page, a reference page, in-text citations, a running header, page
numbers, and an abstract page), you will write a review on any psychological disorder
(can be an anxiety disorder, a mood disorder, a personality disorder, a
somatoform disorder, a dissociative disorder, or even schizophrenia) of
your choice.

One friendly piece of advice here is to choose a
specific disorder versus a category of disorders. For example, instead
of trying to do your essay on all personality disorders, you might
choose just one personality disorder, such as avoidant personality
disorder. That should make the paper more manageable.

First, you should discuss what the disorder is (general description, types if different types exist, symptoms), and how one gets the disorder (possible causes, risk factors).

Second, you should choose four of the perspectives listed in the textbook–psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral, cognitive, group, biological–and discuss how a psychologist/doctor from each perspective would treat a patient with your disorder.

Part
of this assignment will require you to enter the Grantham library. You
should consider contacting the librarian (well before the due date) for
help if you do not understand what peer-reviewed sources are or if you
do not understand how to use the library functionally at Grantham.
