Celebrity Name: Whitney Houston
Each student will briefly reiterate one of the theories and present how this theory was applied to the selected case. You will pick a celebrity or someone “famous” of your choice (do not use any clients or family members). Each student is expected to diagnosis the mental disorder using DSM 5 criteria and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. If the person you choose is no longer living, please create a theoretical treatment plan, as if they were under your care.  The purpose of this assignment is to enable you to better understand that there are many approaches to trauma in social work. 
Each student will select a common specific treatment option in Trauma practice as outlined below or get approval for another topic by the professor:
DBT
Narrative Therapy
Vagus Therapy
EMDR
Medication
Alternative care (Yoga, Mindfulness, Acupuncture, Nutrition)
Must address the following topics: 
Background/Assessment Information
The first section will present your client’s background. Who is the client? Include factors such as age, gender, work, health status, family mental health history, family and social relationships, drug and alcohol history, life difficulties, cultural background, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, religion, occupation/grade level, marital/family status, education goals and coping skills and weaknesses.

Description of the Presenting Problem
In the next section of your case study, you will describe the problem or symptoms that the client presented with. Describe any physical, emotional or sensory symptoms reported by the client. Thoughts, feelings, and perceptions related to the symptoms should also be noted. Any screening or diagnostic assessments that are used should also be described in detail and all scores reported. Estimated date of onset, concurrent events, intensity, frequency, changes in symptoms. How long has this been going on? How often? Magnitude? 
Diagnosis (DSM-V)
Provide your diagnosis and give the appropriate Diagnostic and Statistical Manual code. Explain how you reached your diagnosis, how the clients symptoms fit the diagnostic criteria for the disorder(s), or any possible difficulties in reaching a diagnosis. Please describe the observations that support each diagnosis if there are multiple. Be sure to cite evidence from your on-line research and from your textbook. Give rationale by using the facts to justify your definitions of the problem.
Treatment Intervention Plan 
This will focus on the intervention used to help the client. Please pick a particular theoretical approach and describe the following:
Historical Developments
 

School or perspective (e.g., psychodynamic, behavioral, trait, etc.)
Theoretical underpinning(s) for the therapy
Major theorists 
Major assumptions about human behavior and development 
Key concepts 

The Therapeutic Relationship

1. A correlation measures and describes the linear relationship between two variables. The relationship is described using a +/- and a numerical value. Define what each indicates about the relationship. Give an example of two variables that seem to be related, and thus have a correlation, but have nothing to do with each other. 
2.  Find an empirical study that made an association claim. What type of correlation analysis did they use (Pearson r, biserial, etc.)? Report their findings in APA and interpret them in two to three sentences. 

 In response to your peers, please note the various viewpoints on feedback. Draw conclusions regarding the role of feedback in the learning process. 

write a review of a media object of your choosing, analyzing how it presents an issue related to our course topic of sex and society. This media object might be a book, film, tv show, song, advertisement, social media account, news article, or any other public-facing cultural object that you feel warrants critical analysis and discussion.
Your review should be written in the form of a blog post that you imagine being published on a particular forum or website. Please specify this publication in your review by adding it to your header, whether real or imagined. In the review itself, you will be responsible for meeting a few criteria:
Introduce and contextualize your chosen media object: what is it and where does it come from? When was it made and how was it received? What can this object teach us about the relationship between sex and society?
Identify a specific excerpt, scene, or detail to ground your review and allow for more in-depth analysis of how the object mediates issues relating to sex and sexuality. What decisions are made at an aesthetic level, and how do such representational choices inform the social meanings that are being attributed to sex in the media object?
Present specific criteria for your review: What do you think makes for an effective/ineffective, responsible/irresponsible, enabling/harmful representation of sex and sexuality in society? And how does the media object that you’ve identified meet or not meet those criteria?
This assignment asks you to think critically about how issues of sex, gender, and sexuality are mediated in society. By engaging with a specific media object of your choosing, you will develop skills in close reading, critical analysis, and evaluative argumentation. My hopes are that you will apply critical concepts and theoretical frameworks that we have developed over the first half of the semester in order to analyze a feature of our congested media environments with authority, clarity, precision, and persuasiveness. Your reviews should aim to be approximately 750 words.
