So You Want to Be a Psychologist?

So you want to be a Psychologist?

The purpose of the project is to learn about the diagnostic process and a particular disorder. Full Credit is given for completing the project.

It’s not expected that you will diagnosis your character/patient correctly. Although your diagnosis should fit with the behaviors you observe in your character/patient.

It is possible that you will find your character/patient will exhibit characteristics of more than one disorder. Simply choose one of them, however mentioning other possible disorders should be mentioned (see directions).

• You will pick a character from the LIST.
• Since there is only one list there will be no duplicate characters, although there may be multiple characters from the same movie.
• All students will pick from the same list.
• Trading is allowed, OR after all classes have picked you can trade-in your character ONCE after school in Mr. Gerhauser’s room (225). All picks will be made prior to SPRING BREAK (Exception – those who are on school sponsored trip will get their characters upon return)

• DO NOT SIMPLY CUT AND PASTE YOUR RESEARCH. YOUR INFORMATION MUST RELATE TO YOUR CHARACTER, WHICH MEANS YOU SHOULD APPLY YOUR RESEARCH TO YOUR CHARACTER AS IF YOU WERE DIAGNOSING / TREATING HIM/HER/ IT. DO not JUST CUT AND PASTE RESEARCH.
