Group Presentation on Disorder & Empirically Validated Treatment (50% of Grade):For this assignment you will demonstrate an ability to integrate an empirical treatmentmodality/research with clinical practice to develop an educational presentation for the class.Students will form groups and present a 1-hour Zoom-based Power Point presentation on aDSM-5 Diagnosis commonly found in children and adolescents. Describe basic informationfound in the DSM including: Diagnostic features, age of onset, subtypes, prevalence, anddiagnostic criteria. In addition, you must report on the familial/relational factors associatedwith each disorder. For example, children with oppositional defiant disorder often have facedparental rejection or hostility. You may choose from the following common disorders:Autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiantdisorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, ADHD, depression, separation anxietydisorder, alcohol and drug use, specific phobia, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, obsessivecompulsive disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder. After thoroughly reviewing the commonchildhood/adolescent disorder the group must present a Power Point presentation on aempirically validated clinical approach for problems of childhood and adolescents. Potentialtreatment approaches include (but are not limited to): applied behavioral analysis, playtherapy, parent management training, functional family therapy, multisystemictherapy, brief structural and strategic family therapy, the life skills training program,the strengthening families program, filial therapy, resilient peer treatment, behavioraltherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, sandtray/sandplay, adventure based therapy,and therapeutic day care. The treatment modality must be applied to the disorder youpreviously presented on. Specifically, throughout your presentation on the modality youmust weave into your discussion information on how to treat child/adolescent with thepreviously reviewed disorder. Please note, your treatment approach does not have to bespecifically designed for the disorder your group presents on, however it cannot be a modalitydesigned for something very specific and applied to a different diagnosis/issue. For example,a treatment for addictions would not be applied to children suffering from ADHD, howeverfamily therapy and play therapy could be applied to children with attachment issues.Below are the points you need to address in your group presentation on treatment modality:1. DSM 5 InformationAge of onsetSubtypesPrevalenceDiagnostic criteriaFamilial/relational factors2.

Late add on requires an instructor's permission.Statement of ExpectationsPlymouth State University’s Marriage and Family Therapy program is charged with thetask of preparing individuals to become therapists in a variety of settings and to assumepositions of leadership in the field. In order to fulfill these responsibilities, facultyevaluate students based on their academic, professional, and personal qualities. The PSUCESP department attempts to establish a learning community where students can developprofessionally. This is done by providing an environment in which students’ rights andresponsibilities are respected, and by respecting the dignity and worth of each student.A student’s progress in the program may, however, be interrupted for failure to complywith academic standards or if a student’s interpersonal or emotional status interferes witheducation/training and client care related to requirements for self and others. Forexample, in order to ensure proper training and client care, a counselor-in-training mustabide by relevant ethical codes and demonstrate professional knowledge, technical andinterpersonal skills, professional attitudes, and professional character. These factors areevaluated based on one’s academic performance and one’s ability to convey warmth,genuineness, respect, and empathy in interactions with clients, classmates, staff, andfaculty. Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to accept and integratefeedback, be aware of their impact on others, accept personal responsibility, be able toexpress feelings appropriately, and evidence professional judgment in decision makingrelative to issues and situations encountered in the program.Excused Absence Policy and Class AttendancePlymouth State University students are held accountable for meeting all courserequirements, which may include both in-class and out-of-class experiences, as well asCO 5780 –Working with Youth and SystemsPage 7

Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling Programs Stephen Flynn, Ph.D.both individual and group-based activities. Students must therefore realize that they areexpected to attend all regularly scheduled meetings of courses in which they are enrolled.Instructors outline attendance policies and explain the effect multiple absences have onfinal grades–whether or not unexcused absences will be used in computing grades–in thecourse syllabus. Course syllabi are distributed during the first class meeting, postedonline, or can be requested from the instructor in advance. In classes that use onlineclassroom management software (such as Canvas), online student activity is recorded andmay be used to determine participation. Instructors maintain records to show theattendance policy is being followed. Students are urged to recognize the importance ofparticipation in class activities and to be aware that grades may be affected by absencesor lack of participation during online coursework. Instructors shall determine the classattendance policies and to decide whether to allow students to make up missed work forunexcused absences. Unless the course instructor states otherwise, students shouldassume that there will be academic consequences for every absence deemed unexcusedby the instructor. Please click here review the entire PSU excused absence policyGrading Standards and PoliciesFair and equitable grading reflects values to which all members of the Plymouth StateUniversity community commit themselves. Grades are used to assess the relative extentto which students achieve course objectives in all for-credit courses at PSU. Academicfreedom allows instructors (1) to determine course objectives, within the bounds ofestablished curricula, and the means by which a student’s mastery of those objectives willbe evaluated, and (2) to evaluate the quality of work on individual exams or assignments.Students have the right to challenge evaluations of their work, and hence instructors areaccountable with regard to providing and explaining all relevant grades and gradingcriteria. Grading challenges are of two kinds. Those that question the accuracy of gradesare resolved by means described under Grade Appeals. Questions related to the policy orprocess of making assignments and determining the final grade are addressed byStandards for Fair Grading. Please click here to review the entire PSU fair grading policy.Incomplete GradesAn instructor may decide to enter a grade of incomplete (IC) on a student’s record ifunusual circumstances prevent completion of the course on time, and a minimalproportion of the total class work needs to be completed. This agreement is finalized ona Request for a Grade of Incomplete form and submitted to the Registrar’s Office by theinstructor when final grades are due. The course must be completed by the date specifiedby the instructor, by the end of three academic terms, or by the student’s graduation,whichever comes first. If the course is not completed by the expiration of this period, agrade of F will be recorded unless the instructor has stipulated a different grade on therequest form. A student may not enter field experiences or graduate with an incompleteon his or her transcript. Additionally, a student with an outstanding incomplete in acourse may not register again for that course.Late AssignmentsConsistent with graduate level expectations, all assignments are expected on their duedates. However, exceptions to this rule may be made due to circumstances beyond thecontrol of students such as family emergencies, illness, injury, power outages, computerCO 5780 –Working with Youth and SystemsPage 8

Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling Programs Stephen Flynn, Ph.D.malfunctions, accidents and other situations. Because of these potentialities, students areadvised to complete their assignments in advance of the due date. Also, students shouldback up their work so that computer crashes will not delay assignments. If possible, thestudent should request an extension for the assignment from the instructor before theassignment is due. If this is not possible, the student should contact the instructor as soonas possible after the due date. If an extension is granted, the assignment should besubmitted no later than one week from the due date. In cases where the reason for thedelay may require a longer time period to complete, the decision to allow a longerextension will be made on a case-by-case basis. Students may be asked to providedocumentation to verify their request for an extension. Assignments that are handed inbeyond the due date for which no extension is granted will not be accepted and will resultin a failing grade for the assignment.PSU Academic Integrity PolicyAcademic integrity is the foundation of the pursuit of knowledge. All members of theacademic community are expected to be dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge in anhonest, responsible, respectful, and ethical manner. Every violation of academic integrityis an affront to the academic community. Violations of academic integrity make fairevaluation impossible and cast doubt upon the seriousness with which students accept theresponsibility of acquiring an education.
