Write an Assessment
Assign students to select a DSM-5-TR or ICD Visual Case Scenario such as Symptom Media’s DSM-5-TR First Responder film about a police officer who didn’t pick up the signs of suicide and have them write an Assessment of the patient. Since the average length of the video is between 5 and 15 minutes, a student is able to view the video multiple times and practice their analytical, observational and assessment skills.
Write an Assessment on the following Case Scenario:
Jessica, a police officer, did not recognize the signs of suicide for a call she responded to. She feels immense guilt as a result of the person committing suicide and has anger “outbursts” directed at fellow police officers, her partner, and herself.
