AP Psychology Poster Making Assignment
| C |
ase Study—Cindy Rella is a young woman who suffers generalized anxiety as well as a phobia of furry creatures that are dog-like. She has many conflicts with her sisters and feels abandoned by her parents who died (she is being raised by a step-mother). She engages in fantasy-prone thinking and has difficulty focusing on reality. Her inability to focus has given her difficulty keeping jobs. She also feels persecuted by her step-mother.
Using the assigned therapy technique:
A. diagnose her (using DSM information)
B. explain where you think the problems are coming from
C. assess which aspects of her life you can assist with, and how would you go about doing so (include basic counseling skills on 590-592)
D. Describe the process using concepts found in the text
E. Create a graphic that illustrates a key component of the therapy you’ve been given
| 1. Psychoanalysis 2. Client-centered Therapy 3. Existential Therapy 4. Gestalt Therapy 5. Behavior Therapy 6. Cognitive Therapy (include REBT) 7. Group Therapy 8. Biomedical Approach |
The poster will look like this:
| Title of Therapy | First/Last Names of Makers/Date |
| Give her a tentative diagnosis based upon existing information to set up possible therapies. Yes, the information is incomplete. (use the DSM as guide) | Explain where you think the problems are coming from (from your therapeutic perspective) |
| Assess which aspects of her life you can assist with, and how would you go about doing so (include basic counseling skills on 590-592)—(this is the “what”) | Describe the process using concepts found in the text that your therapy would use for this case (this is the how) |
