Assignment: Case Study Analyses–Biological and Evolutionary and Integrative Theories

The Module Assessment in Week 8 is a personality theory case study analysis that will be developed during Weeks 2 – 8. The Module Assessment is based on a case study found in your Learning Resources, “The Case of Mrs. C.”

This week you examined personality theories from the biological and evolutionary and integrative theoretical orientations. Supported by the information you gathered in your Personality Theory Matrix, analyze the case of Mrs. C based on one theory from the biological or evolutionary orientation and one theory from the integrative orientation examined this week. The case study analysis considers Mrs. C’s symptoms (including cultural considerations) and offers relevant assessments and interventions for her case. Additionally, it must be supported by scholarly materials from research of reputable sources.

To Prepare

• Review the Learning Resource, “The Case of Mrs. C.”
• Review the Personality Theory Matrix information about the biological and evolutionary and integrative theoretical orientations and their corresponding theories.

Assignment (2 pages – 1 per theory)

Based on the information you gain from the personality case study, “The Case of Mrs. C,” complete the following case study analyses:

Biological or Evolutionary Theory Case Study Analysis:

• Analyze Mrs. C’s symptoms, including cultural considerations, from the perspective of a key idea from a theorist that you identified from the biological or evolutionary theoretical orientation.
• Offer suggestions for assessments and interventions to use with Mrs. C from the perspective of a key idea from a theorist that you identified from the biological or evolutionary theoretical orientation.

Integrative Theory Case Study Analysis:

• Analyze Mrs. C’s symptoms, including cultural considerations, from the perspective of a key idea from a theorist that you identified from the integrative theoretical orientation.
• Offer suggestions for assessments and interventions to use with Mrs. C from the perspective of a key idea from a theorist that you identified from the integrative theoretical orientation.

Integrate Resources and scholarly materials in your analyses and provide citations and references in APA format. References should be combined in one list at the end of the document.
