A few weeks after
9/11, a disaster mental health clinician believes she has a patient who is
experiencing either “Acute Stress Disorder” or “Post-traumatic
Stress Disorder”. a. What criteria should the clinician use to determine
which disorder the patient has (in other words, what are the diagnostic markers
for each)? b. Which disorder do you believe the patient has? Note: You don’t
have to be a mental health clinician to answer here–your task here is to apply
what you learned in the course–so no need to state that you aren’t qualified
to diagnose. You must select ONLY ONE diagnosis, either
ASD or PTSD, to receive points for this question.

the cognitive-behavioral approach.

You have been tasked
with developing a two-day workshop focusing on the psychology of disaster. The
workshop is part of a larger several day conference. Other workshops occurring
during the conference will cover disaster preparedness and planning, so those
topics won’t be part of your two days. Identify four CRITICAL topics that you
would include during your workshop sessions. Critical means you consider a
topic a very high priority, something that is absolutely essential for
attendees to know about. Each session is to be an hour long. Below list the 4
topics you would include in the workshop and, for each one, explain why you
selected it(Note: You must restrict your answer to
only four topics-including more will void your answer)

Describe the primary
psychological needs of children following a major disaster.

Use one of the
theories discussed in the course to describe psychological risks faced by
service providers (initial responders, EMTs, rescuers, firefighters, police,
on-site mental health clinicians, etc.) in the event of a major disaster.

Which area of the study of the psychology of
disaster do you think needs more attention these days in order to effectively
deal with contemporary disasters? Why? NOTE: You must
link your answers to course materials here, rather than just giving a brief
statement of opinion.
