Instructions

It is important to understand the cultural context associated with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions and the ways in which assessment, diagnosis, and/or treatment may differ across the lifespan.

It is also important to learn how to find and present current updates from the literature in clear and concise ways.

You may want to approach this assessment as though you are tasked with presenting/proposing new content for the next version of the textbook.

Select from the following disorders:Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder (1 or 2), Panic Disorder, or Generalised Anxiety Disorder.

You then need to:

• Findtwohigh quality peer-review articles that contribute to our understanding of the assessment, diagnosis, and/or treatment of one of the above disorders.




• One article needs to further our understanding of culturally appropriate assessment, diagnosis, and/or treatment for one of the above disorders.




• One article needs to further our understanding of how assessment, diagnosis, and/or treatment may require a different approach at a particular stage of life (for example adolescence or older age) for one of the above disorders.




• Both articles may focus on the same disorder OR you may select one disorder for a cultural focus and another for the life stage focus.




• Note that to be classified as a peer-review article, the article must be published in a peer-reviewed journal that can be accessed in databases such as PsychInfo or ProQuest.




• The article must have a live DOI (digital object identifier) to allow tutors to freely access the article.




• You should attempt to find an article published in the last 5 -10 years.

Writing

The objective of the assessment is to report on what each article adds to “what is currently known” that is, what is reported about the disorder in relation to the “general population”.

Approach each article in turn:

Briefly summarise the article relating toculture(approximately 50 words). The focus should be on the population/participants, methods, and key findings/recommendations.

Next, discuss how the article extends and contributes to our understanding of the cultural implications of either the assessment, diagnosis, and/or treatment of your chosen mental health condition. You will first want to compare the article content/perspective to the information provided in the textbook. Next, and you will want to draw on additional peer review literature (approximately 3-5 articles) to support your claims/perspective in relation to the cultural implications for Mental Health service provision for your psychological disorder.

• The summary of the paper is to orient the marker to the nature of the paper reported on and isnotincluded in the marking rubric.




• You should dedicate approximately 300 words to reviewing each article.




• In terms of “extending our understanding” you will want to compare the article content to material presented in the textbook (Rieger, 2007).




• You will also want to include 3-5 additional quality peer review articles for each topic.




• Will need an end-of-text reference list including all sources (not included in the word limit).
