Prepare and present on a psychopharmacological agent as well as its corresponding DSM-V diagnosis, focusing on its biomedical treatment. Students will work to select a psychopharmacological agent to cover and research further.
Your presentation material should cover a psychopharmacological agent that IS NOT covered in the textbook (Basic Psychopharmacology for Counselors and Psychotherapists, 3rd edition. Boston: Pearson Education) and include the use of audio-visual aides (commercials/advertisements, testimonials found about the agent and a neurobiological illustration). The outcome of this effort will be a presentation in describing the agent and any applicable diagnosis: (1) generic and trade names, (2) applications, which includes typical and atypical diagnoses (3) interactions with other drugs, and (4) side-effects.
