Mock Test #1 - 2018 Spring
Great job on the first Mock Test this spring.
Mock Test #1 was the day after our test over the last two chapters. So, you didn't really get much time to study for it. We have been working on corrections and I'm hopeful to see some improvement on the next Mock Test on Thursday.
Compared to the Fall Semester Mock test, this was incredible!
You guys scored higher over a full year than you did for only the material over the first semester. Impressive!
These are great scores on the Multiple Choice. Way to go!

Targets for CH 16 - Treatment
1. The (DSM) Diagnosis and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders is the handbook used by mental health professionals to diagnose psychiatric disorders.
2. There are many types of disorders, but they all involve debilitation that makes routine life situations difficult.
3. Schizophrenia is not dissociative identity disorder. It is a disorder that involves a break with reality and auditory hallucinations.
4. Personality disorders are the most difficult disorders to diagnose and treat. The most common treatment is medication (most have side effects).
5. Medication is effective as a treatment, but it is often combined with a form of “talk therapy” to provide a more complete therapeutic technique.
6. Behavioral and cognitive therapists are very popular forms of “talk therapy.”
7. Freudian therapy, though well known, is not utilized much anymore.
