Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology

Description

Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology presents actual clinical cases, providing developmental histories essential to appropriate diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. This text presents 23 distinct case studies, applying abstract theoretical research to real-world situations. Each study describes the clinical problem, demonstrates the formulation and implementation of a treatment plan, and discusses evidence of potential causes and prevalence. This comprehensive examination includes cases ranging from psychotic and personality disorders including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to those concerning child development and aging such as attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Coverage of sometimes controversial subjects including dissociative identity disorder, gender dysphoria, autism spectrum disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder ensures contemporary relevance. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate study of abnormal psychology, this book presents an honest and unbiased view of the limitations and benefits of various treatment plans. Discussions of alternative methods including medication, electroconvulsive therapy, and psychosurgery, augment primary cognitive-behavioral approaches, allowing students a solid foundational knowledge of the subject.  Cover Title Page Copyright Page Contents Preface Chapter 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 2 Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Social History The Current Problem Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 3 Schizophrenia with Paranoid Delusions Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 4 Substance‐Induced Psychotic Disorder, Opioid Use Disorder, and Violence Social History An Episode of Violence Community Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Violence and Mental Disorders Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 5 Bipolar Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 6 Major Depressive Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 7 Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 8 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Theoretical Perspectives and Treatment Implications Discussion Questions Chapter 9 Hoarding Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 10 Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Rape Trauma Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Ten‐Year Follow‐up Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Final Comments Discussion Questions Chapter 11 Dissociative Identity Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Ten‐Year Follow‐up Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 12 Somatic Symptom Disorder Social History Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 13 Eating Disorder: Anorexia Nervosa Social History Onset of the Eating Disorder Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 14 Eating Disorder: Bulimia Nervosa Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Week 1: Self‐Monitoring Week 2: Cues and Consequences Week 3: Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors Week 4: Perfectionism and All‐or‐Nothing Thinking Week 5: Assertive Behavior Week 6: Body Image Week 7: Dieting and Other Causal Factors Week 8: Problem Solving and Stress Reduction Week 9: Healthy Exercise and Relapse Prevention Week 10: Coping with Future Events Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 15 Parasomnia: Nightmare Disorder and Isolated Sleep Paralysis Social History Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Asian Americans and Psychological Intervention Discussion Questions Chapter 16 Sexual Dysfunction: Female Orgasmic Disorder and Premature Ejaculation Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 17 Gender Dysphoria Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Fifteen‐Year Follow‐up Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 18 Oppositional Defiant Disorder Social and Family History Conceptualization and Treatment Time‐Out Procedure Family Sessions Individual Play Therapy Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 19 Alcohol Use Disorder Social History Treatment Follow‐Up Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 20 Paranoid Personality Disorder Social History Later Adjustment A 15‐Year Follow‐up Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 21 Borderline Personality Disorder Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 22 Paraphilic Disorders: Exhibitionistic and Frotteuristic Disorders Social History Conceptualization and Treatment Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions Chapter 23 Antisocial Personality Disorder: Psychopathy Discussion Etiological Considerations Treatment Discussion Questions References Index EULA
