This is a discussion question that is about two paragraphs.

This week, you got to hear from guest speakers Christie Jenkins, Mary Kate Reese, and Danielle Walsh. The guest speakers discuss various pleasure and sexual lifestyles, including kink, fetishes, BDSM, leather, and other types of pleasure and sexual play. In this Discussion, you will reflect on how the guest speakers challenged or changed your knowledge about these topics.

To prepare:

  • Identify in which areas you have the most knowledge and least knowledge based on the three diagrams (amorous expression, power expression, and spectrum of play) in the pleasure and sexual lifestyle section of the Sexological Assessment.
  • Consider how the Learning Resources this week challenged or changed your previous knowledge about these topics.

By Day 3

Choose one guest speaker to focus on for your main post. In your post, respond to the following questions:

  • Describe what you learned from the guest speaker.
  • Explain how the guest speaker challenged or changed your knowledge or perspective.
  • Explain how this might impact your comfort level when working with clients engaged in, or considering, various pleasure and sexual lifestyles.CHARACTER ANALYSIS(Fictional character: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory- Johnny Depp Version) His diagnosis is Schizoid personality disorder. 

     The purpose of this assignment is for you analyze one of your favorite characters. 

    Set-up:

    1)  brief summary of show/film/book and include actors, authors (approx 1 page)

    2) diagnose one character with ONE psychiatric disorder as listed in the textbook. (disorders can only come from one of the following categories: mood, anxiety, psychotic, or personality disorders)

    3) Explain behaviors of your character that support diagnosis. Give many, many, specific examples of behaviors that support diagnosis. This is crucial! Make it count. This should be about 2-3 pages.

    4) After you have diagnosed your character and gave evidence to support your diagnosis, you then must write a brief research paper on that particular disorder. For this portion of the paper, you will need to use three sources. For instance, if you diagnose your character with borderline personality disorder, you need to write a 3-4 page paper about the disorder and have at least 3 sources OTHER than your textbook cited within text of paper.

    5) Sources- you need 3 sources and these need to be documented. If you quote or take an idea out of a source that is not your own idea, then cite the source.

    Citations within the text should look like this:

    …… (Rynier, 2000) author’s last name and year it was published. 

    (cite sources within text and provide works cited page )

    Format for reference page: 

    Follow APA format. If sources can’t be validated, this is considered plagiarism and will result in a grade of “0.”

    **BE SURE TO INCLUDE A REFERENCE PAGE***

    **Your paper will be between 5-7 pages of text and then a reference page in addition. You do not need a cover sheet. Papers will be double spaced and written in word format. Be sure to check grammar and spelling. If papers do not match this format, they will not be graded. ****
