AGS 504: Page 1 of 13 Adler Graduate School Richfield, MN 55423 AGS Course 504 Abnormal Psychology 1. Course Designation and Identifier 1.1 Adler Graduate School 1.2 Course number 504 1.3 Abnormal Psychology 1.4 Three (3) credits 1.5 Prerequisite(s): None 2. Course Description The course covers the development, symptoms, and patterns of maladjusted behavior. Students are introduced to the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 categorization and classification of psychiatric phenomena. The goals of the course are for students to look at psychopathological behavior from a multidisciplinary framework in order to better understand deviant behavior as well as human behavior in general. The second major goal is to learn how to apply a diagnostic assessment process to cases. The third goal is to gain an understanding of the similarities and differences in case conceptualization between the DSM-IV-TR, DSM-5, and Adlerian Psychology. 3.

Assessment/Evaluation Procedures (Detailed descriptions of these assignments are available on Moodle) 7.1 Assignment Overview Assignment or Activity Due Date Point Value Class attendance and ACTIVE participation Each Session 5 per session for 45 total Short Response Paper #1 April 23,2014 15 Short Response Paper #2 May 7, 2014 15 Special Project Diagnostic Assessment May 17, 2014 25 Final Project May 25, 2014 50 7.2 Grading: [Based on total points for the class] A B C R NC 180-200 points 160-179 points 140-159 points Retake- Needs more time or instruction to master the requirements of the class Quality of work or participation falls below minimum expectations, including: Not attending class. Not properly notifying registrar of a withdrawal Missing class periods in excess of the number allowed by AGS s course attendance policy (see section 9 below) Not resolving a grade of incomplete within 45 days after the last class meeting (not the assignment due date) and an agreed upon extension has not been arranged by the student and instructor. The Incomplete turns to No Credit (NC) and the course must be repeated at full price. 7.3 Class Attendance and ACTIVE participation criteria. Students are expected to attend all class sessions. Please see section 11 of this syllabus for specific criteria. 7.4 Short Response Papers Throughout the course, there will be 2 (two) Short Response Papers. Each paper is worth 15 points. The grading rubric will be distributed the first night of class. Criteria are as follows: Short Response Paper #1: The student will answer one of the following questions. 1. Compare and contrast the definition of mental disorder in DSM-5 and the Individual Psychology Perspective. 2. Compare and contrast Perfectionism and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders 3. Compare and contrast perfectionism and Feeding and Eating Disorders Although you will likely find that you have field experience in the discussed topics, please remember that the most convincing position is the one supported by the most current and relevant research. You will find these sources in peer-reviewed journals. Use APA style and format requirements in referencing sources. Due Date is April 23, 2014.

AGS 504: Page 9 of 13 Short Response Paper #2: The student will provide a case evaluation using one of the following cases: 1. Stein, Woman 27 (p. 6) 2. Stein, Man 53 (p. 60) 3. Barlow & Brown, Case 1 (pp. 1-15) 4. Barlow & Brown, Case 5 (pp. 59-73) In reviewing these cases, ask yourself the general question, What else would I like to know about this case? You might imagine this case was transferred to you and you are planning your first session with this client. When you are reviewing Adler s cases in the Stein text, pay attention to what information might be missing that would assist you to make a DSM-5 diagnosis. When you are reviewing the cases in Barlow and Brown, pay attention to what information might be missing that would allow you to update the case from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 criteria. In both cases, describe what information you already have and what more would you need to generate a case formulation (i.e., diagnosis and potential rule out diagnoses) and initial treatment plan. Due Date is May 7, 2014. Criteria for Both Short Response Papers: Please be sure each paper has a cover page, is properly formatted according to APA 6 th Edition Publication Manual standards. In addition, use APA writing style guidelines for your writing (i.e., scholarly language, concise and clear, free of grammar and mechanic errors, proper citations, etc.) Include a reference page. No more than 3 pages of text. Include an introduction, introduce your initial diagnostic hypothesis, support and develop your argument, and summarize with a conclusion. All papers will be submitted electronically in a.doc or.docx format. No.pdf documents please. 7.5 SPT Description, timeline (deadline), and assessment The project for this course is to conduct an interview using the cultural formulation interview, level 1 symptom questionnaire, any of the level 2 measures that seem appropriate, and any clinical inquiry needed to arrive at a diagnostic impression, assessment of functional abilities using WHO-DAS domains, and Individual Psychology case formulation. Your subject can be honest about their conditions or can choose to role-play a fictitious character.. Written report is due May 17, 2014. Criteria for SPT: Similar to the short response papers, be sure your Special Project Paper has a cover page, is properly formatted according to APA 6 th Edition Publication Manual standards. In addition, use APA writing style guidelines for your writing (i.e., scholarly language, concise and clear, free of grammar and mechanic errors, proper citations, etc.) Include a reference page only if references are used. No more than 5 pages of text. This paper will be in the format of a report or DA (diagnostic assessment). You will present a small description of the presenting problem, history of the problem, current situation, family history, social/work/school adjustment, your diagnostic impression, and initial treatment plan. All papers will be submitted electronically in a.doc or.docx format.

AGS 504: Page 10 of 13 7.6 Final course assignment(s), timeline (deadline), and assessment The paper for this course is an analysis of Adler s The Case of Mrs. A using the material that has been covered in this course. This should be a close reading of the case, identifying all DSM-5 diagnoses that meet criteria. Be sure to include direct quotations from the case presentation which demonstrate the presence of the disorder. Be sure to include any DSM-5 diagnoses that need to be ruled out, including the specific questions that would need to be answered in order to make or rule out the diagnosis. In other words, if diagnostic criteria are partially met, cite the relevant case material that supports the diagnosis and the specific criteria that are ambiguous or unanswered in the text. Criteria for the Final Assignment: Similar to the SPT Project, be sure your Final Assessment Paper has a cover page, is properly formatted according to APA 6 th Edition Publication Manual standards. In addition, use APA writing style guidelines for your writing (i.e., scholarly language, concise and clear, free of grammar and mechanic errors, proper citations, etc.) Include a reference page. Similar to your SPT Paper, create a DA (diagnostic assessment) which will become the appendix to this paper. For the main portion of your paper, please begin by providing a short overview to your case. Then, in the body of the paper, describe your clinical assessment of the six domains from WHO-DAS, identify information from the Cultural Formulation Interview that are present and missing from the case. Discuss specific evidence in the case presentation that is relevant to the transdiagnostic processes and the Individual Psychology constructs that have been discussed in class. Be sure to provide a summary or conclusion. When citing the case relevant information, you do not need to include a citation. If supporting materials are used, the materials must be properly cited. All papers will be submitted electronically in a.doc or.docx format. The final assignment will be due on May 25, 2014. 8. Online Discussions or Activities There is no expectation of online discussion or activites for this course. 9. Special Project Time (SPT) Special Project Time (SPT) allows students the opportunity to integrate course materials. SPT is meant to be a self-contained experience, requiring at least 30 hours to complete. SPT experiences may be constructed in such a way that they pertain to students unique degree plans. This is done in consultation with the course instructor. SPT specifics for this course are listed in section 7 above. 10. Writing Guidelines including APA Format 10.1 All written assignments in courses at the Adler Graduate School, including those submitted in online courses, must be in APA format unless specifically noted by the course instructor (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6 th edition), 2009, American Psychological Association. ISBN 1-4338-0561-8). 10.2 Strict APA publication rules might prove difficult when creating Diagnostic Assessments. Following the letter of the Manual (i.e., not using I,or passive voice,

AGS 504: Page 11 of 13 keeping proper margins, or complying with headings requirements) may be either difficult or counterproductive in report writing. However, it is still important to adhere to the spirit of the APA Manual (i.e., grammar, orderly presentation of ideas, reducing bias in language, and presenting scholarly statements and arguments). 10.3 Prior to submitting your written assignments, please proofread carefully. Grammar and spelling errors, and poor sentence structure may make your writing difficult for readers to appreciate. 10.4 Please keep in mind that, while the internet offers a lot of exciting and up-to-date information, not all internet sources are considered scholarly. For example, Wikipedia is not an academicly peer-reviewed source. Rather, it is an anybody-reviewed source and, therefore, can t be used in presenting your argument in AGS classes-related tasks. 11. Attendance and Participation Policy Since courses are structured according to an intensive five-week format, regular and punctual attendance is of prime importance. Students are expected to attend all class meetings. When a student is unable to attend class, it is a courtesy to notify the course instructor in advance using the e-mail or phone informatino provided at the end of this syllabus. Most courses are divided into nine units. One unit is equal to one evening class session, ½ of a weekend day session, one unit/ posting in an online class or, roughly, 3 ¼ hours of class time. If a student misses more than 2 class units, the decision whether to allow a grade or issue a retake is left to the discretion of the instructor. Students who miss four class sessions will automatically receive a grade of NC (No credit) for the class and are expected to retake the class at full price. It is the instructor s prerogative to allow or not allow make up work or to deduct points or issue a lower grade based on missed class sessions. Specific courses may have additional attendance requriements based on the structure of the course. Those specifics are listed here: 11.1 You can positively affect your participation grade by: 1.) Arrive on time, be preapred for class and be ready to actively participate by making effective comments that raise the overall level of discussion for all class participants. 2.) Asking thoughtful questions that will enhance discussion and engage your peers. 3.) Listening carefully to, supporting, and engaging your peers and instructor in discussion. 11.2 You will negatively affect your participation grade by: 1.) Not attending class. Even if you meet Adler Graduate School attendance requirements, there is no make up work for a missed class. 2.) Dominating class discussion, thereby restricting others ability to participate. 3.) Disrupting others in class by having side bar conversations and arriving late. 4.)

Academic dishonesty, whether cheating, plagiarism, or some other form of dishonest conduct may result in failure for the work involved. Academic dishonesty could also result in failure for the course and, in the event of a second incident of academic dishonesty, suspension from the Adler Graduate School. Here are examples of academic dishonesty: Cheating - Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. The term academic exercise includes all forms of work submitted for credit.
