Case Study
SUBJECT: Psychology
TYPE: Report
PAGES: 9
DESCRIPTION:
Clinical Students: Case presentation (20% of grade) The students will each present a case (past or current) involving complex medication management issues and psychotherapeutic approaches. If you have not worked in clinical settings, then contact the instructor who will develop a hypothetical case with you. A complex medication management case refers to a patient prescribed two or more medications, and at least one of the drugs is a psychiatric medication and the patient has a mental health diagnosis. The case presentation will draw from information about the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, as well as the FDA approval status of the drugs, psychodiagnostics, psychotherapeutic approaches, and the art of medication management within the context of integrated medical and behavioral health care. Include specific factors pertinent to the drug, including potential adverse drug responses and medication compliance issues in this discussion. Compare the utility of the chosen drugs with alternative forms of therapy. If appropriate, discuss complementary treatments. Present the current literature regarding the integration of psychotherapy with the medications. Here is your chance to express your opinion (backed by current literature!) regarding possible interactions of drug treatment using these medications and your own preferred psychotherapeutic approach. ** I have a sample paper and outline that can be followed
SUMMARY:
SUBTITLE: Psych
TYPE: FORM
DESCRIPTION: a case study (20 percent of grade) In their presentations, students will discuss difficult medication management challenges and psychotherapy techniques. If you haven’t worked in a clinical setting, contact the teacher to work on a case together. A patient administered two or more medications, at least one of which is psychiatric, and who has a mental health diagnosis is considered a complex medication management situation. We’ll talk about drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, FDA approval status, psychodiagnostics, psychotherapy methods and medication management within an integrated medical-behavioral health care system. Include drug-specific variables such as adverse drug reactions and medication compliance issues in this discussion. Contrast the chosen medications’ utility with other therapies. Assignment help – Discuss alternative therapies. Describe the current research on combining psychotherapy and medication. This is your chance to offer your views (supported by research!) on probable drug-therapy interactions with your preferred psychotherapy technique. ** I have a sample paper and outline.
