Instructions
After reviewing the media Jason’s Case Study, access the DSM-5 and read about the following:
Affective disorder. For example, depressive and bipolar disorders. Is Jason’s difficulty selfregulating, a biological condition, or a learned behavior?
Substance abuse. For example, is Jason’s drug use indicative of a disease model or is it socially
influenced?
·Anxiety. For example, is Jason dealing with a neurochemical or hormonal imbalance, or is it a
learned behavior or a behavior modification, or is there some secondary gain for Jason?
·Psychotic disorders. For example, does Jason experience thought distortion or difficulty with
reality testing?
In your paper:
·Analyze the case study in terms of the psychology described in the DSM-5. Note: Choose only
one of the disorders listed that you think is most closely related to Jason’s case. Through your
analysis of Jason’s case study and your reading in the DSM-5, describe how he meets the criteria
of the disorder you have chosen. Remember, a disorder is based on time, duration, intensity,
and the degree to which it interferes with everyday functioning (social, interpersonal, work, and
patterns in relationships) and not just the observable behavior.
Determine social factors (for example, parenting styles, rejection by loved ones, lack of limits, et
cetera) that impact Jason’s behavior (for example, his bullying, lying, and drug use).
Describe what you have found in the case that is relevant for a court case for either the defense
or the prosecution. Without considering establishing competency or sanity, reflect on the
implications of what you have seen in the DSM-5 and the case study in terms of criminal justice
for Jason.
Other Requirements
· APA formatting:. 3-4 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page or the
references page.
References: A minimum of three references.
