Select one eating disorder to target for this discussion
Select one sleep or eating disorder to target for this discussion.
For this discussion, select one of the following options:
Option
A: People with antisocial personality disorder typically have no regard
for right and wrong. They may often violate the law and the rights of others.
They will lie, behave violently, and have abused drugs and alcohol. In your own
words, describe the basic features of antisocial personality disorder. Explain
why psychotherapy with this population is so likely to fail. Develop a short
case (not covered in the course reading) of an individual with antisocial
personality disorder to illustrate your point.
Option B:
The prevalence of sleep and eating disorders has increased in recent
years. Select one sleep or eating disorder to target for this discussion. In
your own words, describe the precipitating factors, defining features, and
treatment options. Develop a short case (not covered in the course reading) of
an individual with your selected sleep or eating disorder to illustrate your
point.
Guided Response: Review several of your
classmates’ posts. Respond substantively to at least two of your peers. What
questions would you have for the patients in their cases? Is the treatment you
would recommend for the individuals in their cases different from your peers’
recommendations? Why or why not?
