In Week 5, you selected one of the Scholars of Change videos to begin the coding process. For this Discussion, you will select another Scholars of Change video, different than the one you selected in Week 5, to begin coding not only your field notes but also the transcriipt of the video you downloaded.
—————————-
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the chapters in the Saldaña text.
Review the Introduction to Coding and From Content to Coding media programs in the Learning Resources.
Refer back to your observational field notes from Weeks 1–4 Scholars of Change videos.
From the remaining videos, choose a different Scholars of Change video and refer to your notes from your observation for this Discussion.
Access the transcriipt you downloaded for the media program of the Scholars of Change video you selected for this Discussion.
Begin to code the transcriipt and the observational field notes of the Scholar of Change video you chose. (Note: You will only need one or two codes for this Discussion, although more are acceptable.)
—————————————-
Post a descriiption of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcriipt to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding.

The Unit 4 Assignment is a 3- to 5-page analysis of the professional, ethical, legal, and cultural considerations associated with psychopathology. The paper will explore the critical components of each consideration and how they apply to a case study.
Case Study
Sundeep is a 43-year-old male, married, with three children. He is from India and is currently living with his family in the United States on a work visa. Sundeep has entered your clinic for assessment and evaluation at the request of his wife and some family friends. He appears to be in a depressed mood, avoiding eye contact, and does not speak much in the first part of the assessment. Sundeep says that he has not been sleeping well lately and that he is experiencing high levels of stress related to his work and not meeting expectations within his job role. He is also studying at a local university part time, and he states that he is not performing as well as he had hoped he would. He has been experiencing extended sadness, feelings of hopelessness, lack of appetite, and extreme guilt about his emotions and thoughts. You notice that he avoids the use of the word “depression” and seems to replace it with “stress” during the conversation. Sundeep speaks to his father on a weekly basis and states that he dreads talking to him about how he is doing in both work and studies. As Sundeep begins to feel more comfortable, he shares that he has been thinking that if he fails here in the U.S., it will be even more difficult to go back to India and face his father, mother, and extended family. He shares that he has been thinking about harming himself, especially when the fear of failure is at higher levels throughout the day. Sundeep indicates that he has a plan for how he might take his own life and shares that he has the means to enact this plan as well.
In regard to strengths and supports, Sundeep identifies that he has two very close friends that he works with on a daily basis. He states that his wife is very supportive and that he does not know what he would do without his children, who are his source of motivation and strength each day.
Be sure to include the following components in your paper:
Part 1: Apply the four domains of the Cultural Formulation Interview.
Apply the four domains of the Cultural Formulation Interview to the case study.

Discuss at least two ways cultural considerations may impact the diagnostic process with the individual in the case study.
Part 2: Examine the legal, ethical, sociocultural, and professional multicultural considerations associated with the case.
Examine the legal standard for civil commitment.
