their current knowledge of health care practices and to consult with
colleagues on particularly difficult cases. During these professional
events, mental health professionals sometimes present a case and seek
feedback from peers regarding conceptualization and treatment of a
patient’s problems. This interactive assignment is an opportunity to
simulate a grand rounds event. For your initial post in this forum, you
will provide written feedback regarding your colleague’s presentation
and questions. Your post must include the following: •Provide an
evaluation of the degree to which the presenter followed the ethical
standards outlined in Section 4 (Links to an external site.)Links to an

of Conduct: Including 2010 Amendments. ◦Highlight the relevant
information from the patient’s history you will use to inform your
conceptualization of the patient’s problems and diagnosis. ◦Provide an
evaluation of the patient’s symptoms and presenting problems within the
context of a theoretical orientation that seems to be most appropriate
for the situation. Be sure to indicate which theory you are using for
your evaluation and provide a justification for your choice. To get the
most out of this assignment, you are encouraged to use the same
theoretical orientation from which you chose to write your Week Two
Initial Assessment discussion’s guided response. ◦Provide a diagnosis
for the patient based on one of the diagnostic manuals available (e.g.,
DSM-5, Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual, etc.). Justify your choice of
this diagnostic manual. ◦Describe at least one evidence-based and one
non-evidence-based treatment option for this diagnosis. Compare the
benefits and costs of these treatment options. ◦Based on specific
theoretical and historical perspectives, provide questions for your
colleagues seeking their thoughts and feedback. ◦Pose appropriate
questions that may help refine the diagnostic impression of this
patient.
