CONTROVERSY ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONALITY AND PARAPHILIC DISORDERS

Personality disorders represent perhaps the most challenging disorders that psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners will have to address in their professional careers. Personality disorders can co-occur in every mental health disorder and, in some cases, can mask other disorders. Although difficult to treat, the PMHNP must be able to identify personality disorders and endeavor to work with the patient to not only recognize the disorder but also treat a disorder that patients often do not believe exist.

Although there is tremendous variety in what is considered normal sexual interests, paraphilic disorders occur when a persistent behavior or fantasy causes distress, harm, or risk of harm to oneself or others. Some paraphilic disorders include pedophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, and voyeurism. Care Across The Lifespan Il Assignment

This week, you will explore controversies related to personality and paraphilic disorders, as well as clinical, ethical, and legal issues that should be considered when working with patients with such diagnoses.

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

Between 10% and 20% of the population experience personality disorders. They are difficult to treat as individuals with personality disorders are less likely to seek help than individuals with other mental health disorders. Treatment can be challenging as they do not see their symptoms as painful to themselves or others.

Paraphilic disorders are far more common in men than in women, and generally quite chronic, lasting at least two years. Treatment of these disorders usually involves both psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments.

In this Assignment, you will explore personality and paraphilic disorders in greater detail. You will research potentially controversial elements of the diagnosis and/or treatment and explain ethical and legal considerations when working with these disorders.

 

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on assessing, diagnosing, and treating personality and paraphilic disorders.
  • Select a specific personality or paraphilic disorder from the DSM-5-TR to use for this Assignment.
  • Use the Walden Library to investigate your chosen disorder further, including controversial aspects of the disorder, maintaining the therapeutic relationship, and ethical and legal considerations.

THE ASSIGNMENT

In 2–3 pages:

  • Explain the controversy that surrounds your selected disorder.
  • Explain your professional beliefs about this disorder, supporting your rationale with at least three scholarly references from the literature.
  • Explain strategies for maintaining the therapeutic relationship with a patient that may present with this disorder.
  • Finally, explain ethical and legal considerations related to this disorder that you need to bring to your practice and why they are important. Care Across The Lifespan Il Assignment

Powerpoint Portion of Assignment (Assignment 2):

 

Presentation

You will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and reference slides. Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image. Your “talking points” are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of “talk time.” Information read directly from the slide should be included in the speaker notes. We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content. Your speaker notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience. You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your references on the reference slide(s).

 

Evaluation Portion of Project (Assignment 3):

(This will be one document with all of the following included in that document)

 

Title Page

Create a title page according to the standard for the UTA College of Nursing.

 

Evaluation (2 Tools are required – one for quality and one for content)

You may create a new Word document for most of the types of evaluation tools you would use, such as tests, questionnaires, charts for observations notes, etc. You will  create two evaluation tools, include all in the same file as separate pages with clear headings and instructions designating the use of each tool.

 

Other types of evaluation tools you might use are databases or spreadsheets. It is important that you design such tools so that you need only to upload and submit one file, though, so if you use a combination of Word documents and spreadsheets, copy/paste the contents of the spreadsheets into the Word document to create a single file.

 

Evaluation form requirements: You must submit two evaluation forms. One form will address evaluation of content (example: a post-test or survey, audit form) and one form will address quality (rate the presentation, speaker, and environment; consider using a Likert scale). Remember you will create both forms for this assignment. Do not copy forms from other sources.  Include the time, place, and who you presented presentation. Also, discussion on the methods you used to evaluate your project.  Include why the method, how you will use the results, and plans for improvement.

 

Grid

You will include the full completed grid from Module 3. Please be sure to make any needed changes based on feedback from your coach.

Instructions

You will create your project’s presentation and evaluation tools as an electronic files.

 

PowerPoint Portion of Assignment (Assignment 2):

 

Presentation

You will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and reference slides. Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image. Your “talking points” are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of “talk time.” Information read directly from the slide should be included in the speaker notes. We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content. Your speaker notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience. You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your references on the reference slide(s).

 

Evaluation Portion of Project (Assignment 3):

(This will be one document with all of the following included in that document)

 

Title Page

Create a title page according to the standard for the UTA College of Nursing.

 

Evaluation (2 Tools are required – one for quality and one for content)

You may create a new Word document for most of the types of evaluation tools you would use, such as tests, questionnaires, charts for observations notes, etc. Create two evaluation tools. Include all in the same file as separate pages with clear headings and instructions designating the use of each tool.

 

Other types of evaluation tools you might use are databases or spreadsheets. It is important that you design such tools so that you need only to upload and submit one file, though, so if you use a combination of Word documents and spreadsheets, copy/paste the contents of the spreadsheets into the Word document to create a single file.

 

Evaluation form requirements: You must submit two evaluation forms. One form will address evaluation of content (example: a post-test or survey, audit form) and one form will address quality (rate the presentation, speaker, and environment; consider using a Likert scale). Remember you will create both forms for this assignment. Do not copy forms from other sources.  Include the time, place, and who you presented presentation. Also, discussion on the methods you used to evaluate your project.  Include why the method, how you will use the results, and plans for improvement. Capstone Project Presentation Slides Paper

 

Grid

You will include the full completed grid from Module 3. Please be sure to make any needed changes based on feedback from your coach.

 

Evaluation Paragraph

You must include at least a paragraph (minimum 100 words) to discuss the methods to evaluate your Project. Include why the method you have chosen to evaluate the project is appropriate. Include in your paragraph how will you will take results from the evaluation and change or improve the presentation.
