MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR COUNSELING 5021 I. Course Description This course is designed to provide a study of theories of abnormal personality development across the life span. Issues relevant to cultural, gender, and ethnic differences will be examined. Focus of inquiry will be the development of an understanding of individual behavior. Implications of theory for diagnosis and treatment will be examined. II. Rationale The ability to diagnose and treat maladaptive behavior is a primary skill upon which the counseling profession is based. This course teaches the student to recognize various behavioral patterns and cognitive processes which affect an individual and those in his or her environment in a negative manner and to formulate plans for change. Included in this learning is recognizing the roles of other health professionals in effecting change and developing skills to work in a collaborative manner with other professionals to provide the most effective service for each client. III. Course Objectives By the end of the semester you will A. Develop a better understanding of prevalent descriptions of dysfunctional behavior. B. Know the symptomatic behavior underlying various DSM-IV categories of dysfunctional behavior. C. Develop a better understanding of interpersonal, biological and societal influences on an individual’s functioning. D. Begin to formulate strategies for dealing with problems of dysfunctional behavior. E. Become more sensitive to issues related to working with clients whose behavior is different from yours or who have special issues (sexual orientation differences, physical handicaps, gender issues which are different from yours, or long term burdens). F. Become more competent in working with other health professionals in a collaborative capacity. IV. Instructional Methods: Methods for instruction include: A. Traditional Activities 1.

Clinical Activities Clinical vignettes will be given to the class and the members will diagnose the hypothetical cases using the DSM-IV. V. Evaluation and Grade Assignment A. You will demonstrate your expertise on course topic by compiling an annotated bibliography regarding a diagnostic category of the DSM-IV. {See end of syllabus for more detail}. B. Two exams, midterm and final, will cover text and lecture. C. You will be given homework during the semester which will consist of practice diagnoses. You will make the diagnosis and turn your diagnostic impressions in to me at the next class session. D. Grades will be assigned on the basis of your understanding of material as shown by: 1. Midterm and final each have 100 points; there may be up to three smaller exams throughout the course. This will reduce the weight of just having a mid-term and final. 2. Bibliography 50 points 3. Each homework assignment (there may be as many as five) will have a value of 10 points. E.

Search literature written 2001 or later. You must find a minimum of five articles that combined help you construct your understanding of the topic you select. Write a summary of each article, minimum of three pages, and then a conclusion. In your conclusion identify your treatment mode (theory) and tell a little about how you would treat a client with this particular disorder. The paper will be typed in APA format.
