PSY 200 Case Study Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

Overview There are two major projects for this course. Scenario/Case Study: This is a final project (with milestones) in which students will analyze a scenario of an individual dealing with an addiction in order to explore potential diagnoses that could apply and to articulate a treatment plan for the individual. The goal of this assignment is to understand how addictions impact the individual, family, community, and/or society. This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:

 Differentiate between the physiological and psychological effects of mood-altering substances on behaviors and mental processes

 Analyze addictive behaviors for their social and psychological effects on the individual, family, community, or society

This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:
