Assignment Content

Select one of the Dissociative disorders from the course text.

Use the Research Analysis to complete this assignment.

Prepare a 1,200- to 1,700-word paper that discusses research-based interventions to treat psychopathology.

Review and differentiate the characteristics of the selected disorder and discuss the research about intervention strategies for the disorder by completing the following:

Present the DSM-5 criteria used to diagnose the disorder.

Compare and contrast the chosen disorder with at least one other dissociative disorder.

Evaluate and present three peer-reviewed research studies using the Research Analysis Tool in the materials section. Not all elements of the Research Analysis will be relevant for each study. Discussing statistical methods is not as important as discussing purpose, subjects studied, methods used and the findings. Don’t use studies focusing on a single subject (case studies). Use the example provided in the Materials as a guideline for presenting the studies.

Discuss the treatments or interventions that have been shown to be the most effective for your selected disorder and why (Evidence Based Practices).

Cite at least five peer-reviewed sources.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment.
