Question 5<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Discuss Big Pharma\u2019s<\/em> role in the diagnosis and treatment of psychopathology.<\/em>\u00a0Decide an appropriate role for Big <\/em>Pharma going forward, if indeed Big Pharma<\/em> should have a voice in this matter.<\/p>\n

Consider the opposing viewpoints and address the following questions:<\/p>\n

A. What does each position believe? Why–what is the evidence being used for their arguments? Evaluate the quality of the evidence from a scholarly perspective.
\nB. Can you identify one or more logical points or pieces of information in each perspective even though you may not agree with that perspective completely?
\nC. What additional information would be helpful to know to evaluate each perspective more effectively?
\nD. What is a potential 3rd or 4th perspective that should be considered in this controversy? There are likely many other perspectives besides these two.<\/p>\n

The 1st two perspectives we are considering:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Big Pharma<\/em> has our best interests in mind. These companies fund valuable research projects that help us understand psychiatric conditions and appropriate treatment methods. Additionally,\u00a0this research sometimes uncovers new psychiatric conditions worthy of new treatment methods.\u00a0We can trust Big Pharma<\/em> to do what is in the average person’s best interest with respect to diagnosing and treating psychiatric conditions.<\/p>\n

2. Because Big Pharma\u2019s <\/em>profits are directly tied to the treatment of illnesses, they do not stand to benefit from successfully and completely treating psychiatric conditions. In other words, Big Pharma <\/em>does not profit when people are healthy. Therefore, Big Pharma<\/em> does not have the average person’s best interests in mind, and we cannot trust Big Pharma<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Question 4<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Are there psychological syndromes and symptoms that appear only in certain cultures?<\/p>\n

In situations where a syndrome shares symptoms with an established DSM diagnosis, is it appropriate to use the DSM diagnosis, an ICD diagnosis or the diagnostic term of the client\u2019s culture-of-origin?<\/p>\n

The 1st two perspectives we are considering:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Culturally bound syndromes and symptoms exist. That is to say, there are certain syndromes and symptoms that present themselves only among people of certain cultures.
\n2. Culturally bound syndromes and symptoms do not exist. These syndromes and symptoms are merely slightly different presentations of syndromes and symptoms found in the DSM.<\/p>\n

While exploring this topic, please keep these ground rules in mind:<\/p>\n

e tips:<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Put simply, try to think outside the box. Too often, we polarize ourselves into yes\/no, for\/against positions rather than examining the issue in detail, understanding it, and seeing a truth or truths emerge from this understanding. Think of it this way: If I say the sky\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0blue, then I’ve stopped exploring. If I say the sky\u00a0isn’t <\/em>blue, I’ve again stopped exploring. If I say “I don’t know, let’s find out,” then I’ve opened myself to any possibility.<\/p>\n

Question 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The effects of Gender Dysphoria’s presence as a disorder in the DSM 5.<\/em>\u00a0In this conversation, here are the two opposing views that you will need to consider to the best of your collective ability by the end of the week:<\/p>\n

NOTE: While it is easy to take a position and argue why you believe that position to be true, I challenge you to engage in higher order thinking: Consider the opposing viewpoints and address the following questions:<\/p>\n

A. What does each position believe? Why–what is the evidence being used for their arguments? Evaluate the quality of the evidence from a scholarly perspective.
\nB. Can you identify one or more logical points or pieces of information in each perspective even though you may not agree with that perspective completely?
\nC. What additional information would be helpful to know to evaluate each perspective more effectively?
\nD. What is a potential 3rd or 4th perspective that should be considered in this controversy? There are likely many other perspectives besides these two.<\/p>\n

The 1st two perspectives we are considering:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Gender Dysphoria is a\u00a0valid psychiatric condition\u00a0and thus should be in the DSM 5. The presence of this disorder in DSM 5\u00a0allows people with Gender Dysphoria to seek insurance reimbursement for sex reassignment surgery. The benefits outweigh the costs.
\n2. Gender Dysphoria is not a valid psychiatric condition and should not be in the DSM 5. The presence of this disorder in DSM 5 causes undue stigmatization and marginalization of a vulnerable minority population. The costs outweigh the benefits.<\/p>\n

Question 2<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The effects of media’s accuracy of mental illness. In this conversation, here are the two opposing views that you will need to consider to the best of your collective ability by the end of the week:<\/p>\n

\nD. What is a potential 3rd or 4th perspective that should be considered in this controversy? There are likely many other perspectives besides these two.<\/p>\n

The 1st two perspectives we are considering:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. For the most part, media representations of psychiatric issues are accurate. Because they are accurate, there are no negative social consequences for people who have these conditions.
\n2. For the most part, media representations of psychiatric issues are in<\/em>accurate. Because they are inaccurate, there are significant negative social consequences for people who have these conditions.<\/p>\n

The 1st two perspectives we are considering:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Ausubel’s argument that mental illness is real.
\n2. Szasz’s argument that mental illness is a myth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
