Approved and Provided Documentaries:
▪ The Disappearance of Shere Hite: This is a brand-new (2023) AMAZING documentary about a woman named
Shere Hite who was a pioneer in sex research but has been more or less erased from history. I literally knew
nothing about her until this year (2024). She is not mentioned in our textbook OR in my old Human Sexuality
course textbooks. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this. I even considered making this a mandatory 4th film for
everyone to watch, it’s so good.
▪ Aftershock: A new (2022) documentary about the insane discrepancy in Black women dying after childbirth.
Following the preventable deaths of their loved ones due to childbirth complications, two families galvanize
activists, birth-workers and physicians to reckon with one of the most pressing American crises of our time – the
US maternal health crisis. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
▪ Unveiled: Surviving La Luz Del Mundo: A new (2022) documentary about horrifying sexual abuse in this
“church”. Absolutely stunning; I cannot believe I had never heard of this before this doc came out in December
of 2022. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Please note that this is a long one – technically consists of three episodes.
▪ The Janes: Another new (2022) film: The Janes tells the story of a group of unlikely outlaws. Defying the state
legislature that outlawed abortion, the Catholic Church that condemned it, and the Chicago Mob that was
profiting from it, the members of Jane risked their personal and professional lives to help women in need. In the
pre-Roe v. Wade era –– a time when abortion was a crime in most states and even circulating information about
abortion was a felony in Illinois –– the Janes provided low-cost and free abortions to an estimated 11,000
women. Particularly timely in the post Roe v. Wade repealed-world.
▪ pretty baby: Brooke Shields: A brand-new (2023) documentary film (that consists of two episodes). This is super
interesting, if you were not aware of Brooke Shield’s history of being really the first very young
girl/model/actress to be publicly sexualized in film and ad campaigns. Very well-done documentary that touches
on many themes that we discuss in this class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
▪ Amanda Knox: An incredibly informative doc about the infamous case of Amanda Knox, who was an American
student living in Italy, who was accused of murdering her roommate, and the pervasive sexism that made one
Italian detective become obsessed with her guilt.
▪ Hot Girls Wanted: Produced by Rashida Jones, about the amateur Florida porn industry. Disturbing.
▪ The Case Against 8: This is a stunningly beautiful and surprisingly recent examination of the landmark Supreme
Court case that overturned California’s Proposition 8 and its ban on same-sex marriage.
▪ The Strange History of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (2011): The very strange story of the 1993 American policy of
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” of LGBT+ in the armed forces and its repeal in 2011. Amazing that this was not long ago,
but is rarely talked about and many don’t know anything about it!

Use the following resources as you complete your diagnoses:
DSM-5-TRLinks to an external site..

Instructions
Consider the following case as you write your assignment:
Person E is an adult who works from home for the Department of Defense to analyze geographical patterns in aerial data of other countries. Person E likes working from home to have less sensory overload than working in person. Person E has always liked order and prefers doing activities in a certain sequence. When Person E was a child, they recall having thoughts about needing to turn the lights off and on seven times before going to bed and doing other behaviors and sequences of seven, such as brushing teeth, brushing hair, folding clothes, et cetera. Also as a child, Person E felt different from the other children. Smiling, laughing, and other social exchanges seemed very difficult for Person E. Friendships were and continue to be very challenging for Person E. Sometimes, Person E would take to rocking back and forth to soothe themselves. Person E continues to have unwanted, anxious thoughts about the need to carry out activities in sequences of seven. Person E gives in to the urge to do activities in a series of seven, because that seems to be the only thing that reduces the anxiety from such thoughts.
Provide a diagnostic formulation for Person E and include the following:
Choose a gender for the person in the case.
Identify a name for the person in the case and select diversity factors.
Include at least two diversity factors from the areas of race, socioeconomic status, religion, age, nationality, sexual orientation, disability status, and military status.
Be sure to select two different diversity factors from the ones that you selected in the previous week.
Develop a primary and secondary diagnosis with a rationale for why one diagnosis is primary.
Using a biopsychosocial approach, justify the diagnostic reasoning for both the primary and secondary diagnosis.
If more information is needed for a diagnosis, then state what that information is and why it would be helpful in your diagnostic decision making.
Develop a differential diagnosis for both the primary and secondary diagnoses.
Discuss how the diversity factors ethically inform the diagnosis and treatment for Person E.
Include at least one scholarly source in your discussion of diversity factors for the person in the case.
