introduction to Psychology

Sometimes, individuals use the terminology of psychological disorders in a casual way (e.g., characterizing someone with attention-deficit disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder without formal diagnosis). Using such language in a casual way minimizes the impact of a true diagnosis and those living with the disorder. These specific and technical terms are used in everyday language without understanding their full impact.

Even trained and licensed professionals must take great care when considering and selecting an appropriate diagnosis for a client. While diagnosis of a psychological disorder can help a person to obtain the most suitable treatments, some professionals argue that a diagnostic label can be stigmatizing. Perhaps society's increasing awareness of the field of psychology will help to reduce the stigmatization of those who experience—and struggle with—mental health disorders.

For your Discussion, you will explore a disorder that interests you and examine how it is identified by professionals. You will also consider the pros and cons of diagnosis and the advantages and disadvantages to using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

To begin, scan Chapter 13 of Kearns, T., & Lee, D. (2015) text to discover a psychological disorder that interests you.

Kearns, T., & Lee, D. (2015). General psychology: An introduction Links to an external site.. GALILEO, University System of Georgia: GALILEO Open Learning Materials. https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?ar...

Chapter 13, “Psychology Disorders” (pp. 379–464)

Then read the following two articles:

Barth, F. D. (2019). How important is a psychiatric diagnosis? Links to an external site.Psychology Today. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-couch/...

Fritscher, L. (2020). Advantages and disadvantages of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual Links to an external site.. https://www.verywellmind.com/dsm-friend-or-foe-267...

Post a three-paragraphs response to the following:

Describe the psychological disorder you selected.

Explain how the psychological disorder is identified by professionals.

What are some of the pros and cons of a person receiving an official diagnosis?

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages to using the DSM?

Provide an example from one of this week's resources to support your response.

Alongside ongoing advancements in medicine, the pharmaceutical industry continues to develop chemical treatments for a variety of physical ailments. However, psychological issues can be treated with other types of therapies as well. With so many treatment options, how do individuals seeking relief from their psychological challenges know what treatment or therapy might work best for them? How do they know which is a long-standing therapy and which might be more experimental or new? These individuals rely on licensed professionals to help them navigate the treatment landscape to find the best treatment to fit their needs.

For this Assignment, you will explore various therapies used to address the disorder you selected for your Discussion and the types of practitioners who could provide support.

Please review the following resource on finding your own sources within the Walden Library.

Using the link below, find one resource from the Walden Library on therapies for the psychological disorder from your discussion.

Then, identify one type of practitioner who could provide support with the disorder.

Describe the disorder you selected for your discussion and share one therapy or suggestion that is used to assist with the disorder based on the article you researched.

Based on your research, explain what makes the therapy effective in addressing the disorder.

Identify one type of practitioner who could provide support with the disorder.
