Anxiety Disorders

This Week
The primary focus for this week is the class of anxiety disorders. As you make your way through the readings, be sure to take close notes of research mentioned. You should be done with all anxiety disorders by Thursday/Friday.

There are some questions regarding the case study part of the project. Here are some new instructions:

In a small group, each member should select ONE kind of anxiety disorder and make up a case study. For instance, say I was in your group, I might select PTSD. I then follow Appendix II and make up a person suffering with PTSD. I will report the case to the group. The group will then analyze the case for causes of the PTSD and best therapy.

Below are three interviews with people suffering from anxiety disorders. As you listen to the interviews, be sure to consider the characteristics of the disorder. Keep in mind that these are not actors/actresses.

Panic Disorder


OCD


PTSD


Eating Disorders
Friday I will be guest speaking on eating disorders. I will try and integrate a few video clips into the lecture.

Be sure to check eSIS throughout the week for frequent grade updates!

PLEASE e-mail me any questions or concerns you have!

Caro!
So I thought that our case studies were due tomorrow...so I went ahead and did the two I was assigned. I know now that they actually aren't due for a while...but anyways--those are really fun! I loved making my two people (one with panic disorder and one with g.a.d.) super unique and I enjoyed creating a background on them and their abnormal behaviors and stuff like that. :D

Are we supposed to have all the parts of the notes done? I can't find all of the causes and therapy approaches in the packet.

Mr. Caro said...

Andrea,

No, just for panic disorder (it is the sub's call however because I am not sure of the pacing).

Not all therapies and explanation will be included for each disorder. Just follow the readings.

I hope this helps!
