Addiction Diagnosis and Treatment Plan

During the course term, students will watch one film,
and create a diagnosis of one of the characters in the movie. The film must
involve a character struggling with addictive behavior. Also, provide a one
page case analysis in which you conceptualize the client’s issues. In addition,
students provide a counseling treatment plan. Students should use the treatment
planning article in the Files section to guide them. In addition,
students will present at least one treatment/therapy approach appropriate to
the case. Students will include at least 5 scholarly resources that support
that this approach has efficacy or is considered an evidence-based approach.
Supporting material will be presented with in-text citations and a reference
list using APA style. Many films with addictive behavior themes exist. If you
are not aware of one, please post a question in the Discussion Forum, under
“General Discussion.” Also, if you Google “substance abuse in movies,” or a
similar key term you will locate many such films. Finally, the films MUST
include addictive behavior (i.e., they can’t just involve a general mental health
diagnosis, although they can involve dually diagnosed persons).
