Overview

Write a 4 page assessment in which you analyze and compare two authors' positions on bipolar disorder in children.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

This course asks you to think critically about the current diagnostic system and the medical model of mental illness. Perhaps no area requires the student of abnormal psychology to exercise this judgment more carefully than how to use and apply these models as does the diagnosis of children. D. W. Winnicott is known for his famous aphorism "There is no such thing as a baby." What Winnicott meant is that an infant exists inextricably in relation to its caregivers, so much so that the infant cannot be conceived of independently. Many family therapists would extend this principle to children in general. Because of their dependency relative to adults, children cannot realistically be thought of in isolation of the family environments in which they exist and upon which they depend.
