For this project, you will write-up a six-page case presentation of a famous historical character of your choosing, offering background information, crisis issues and potential countertransfere, diagnostic considerations, and a treatment plan. Please make sure to select an historical figure with clearly defined symptoms of psychopathology. Please note, feel free to offer your own speculations about possible background information, crisis or ethical concerns, and a diagnosis, rather than solely relying on biographical information or indicating that the information is not available. In other words, each section should be thoroughly thought through and articulated on, whether via available biographical information or through hypothetical situations and scenarios. Each student will turn in a six-page write-up.

The write-up must include all of the following sections for full credit: 

(1) Background information: a detailed and specific picture of the background information of the fictional character is presented, including behavioral, social, academic, religious, and occupational functioning. Remember, if you can’t find details on some of these areas, you can feel free to present your own speculations about possible background information. 

(2) Crisis Issues and Potential Countertransference: The student clearly identifies or notes the status of each of the following potential crisis issues: risk of suicide based on assessment, history of child abuse and/or elder abuse, risk of harm to others, and history or current use/abuse of substances abuse; In addition, the student explains potential areas of therapist countertransference based on the client’s presentation.

(3) Diagnosis: diagnostic considerations are explored, including a tentative DSM-5 diagnosis based on clearly defined symptoms.  Student demonstrates a strong ability to talk through their decision-making process when considering various diagnoses.

(4) Treatment plan: a  clear and coherent treatment plan is presented that includes the presenting problem, long-term goals and short-term objectives, and interventions that correspond with the objectives; the student also discusses how to integrate the client’s culture and faith into treatment, and offers creative and evidenced-based solutions that connect the individual to community resources; Treatment plan is specific, measurable, and demonstrates an appreciation and knowledge of evidence-based treatment options.
