• Films include: A beautiful mind, Silver linings playbook, Girl interrupted, The aviator, The electric life of Louis Wain, Perks of being a wallflower, The soloist, Precious, Good Will hunting, Shine, Black swan.
• If you are using a film outside of the list above, you must contact the unit coordinator for approval early in the term.
• Organise viewing the movie as soon as possible - possible sources include DVD, YouTube, services such as Netflix, Prime, etc.
• Note that the character / client must have an illness that will respond to treatment as this is the focus of the next assessment.

Use of generative artificial intelligence

• You may use generative artificial intelligence in developing ideas for the assessment and for checking spelling, grammar and syntax.
• Include a statement in your assessment regarding how you have used generative artificial intelligence and which system you have used.
• However, do not use generative artificial intelligence to write the assessment.
• If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Components of the assessment:

• A very brief introduction to your client and the strategy you will use. (See the points immediately below.)
• The main focus of this assessment is to utilise the 5P factor model to develop a case formulation.
• It is essential to read the article by Macneil et al., (2012): Is diagnosis enough to guide interventions in mental health? Using case formulation in clinical practice.
• The formulation must consist of the following elements: presenting, precipitating, perpetuating, predisposing, and protective factors.
• Next, using either the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)  or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), identify the primary diagnosis and identify any secondary diagnoses/comorbidities (e.g., comorbid substance use disorder, etc).
• Utilise peer reviewed journal articles to support your formulation and diagnosis throughout.
• Conclude with a brief reflection on how the film impacted on you and your views of mental illness, and whether the film reinforces or challenges stigma.
• The word count will be between 1800-2200 words.

This assessment is due at the beginning of Week 11 - Monday (27 Jan 2025) at 9:00 am AEST.

Your task is to video-record a presentation which describes a treatment plan for the client  from your formulation and diagnosis assessment.

Your intended audience is an interdisciplinary mental health team.

• The actual audience may be a colleague, a family member, or friend.
• The audience must also be visible on the recording (same room, or screen on Zoom).

In addition to content, you will be assessed on your delivery and presentation.

• Delivery and presentation will be evaluated on factors including audio quality and speech clarity, excessive use of notes, audience engagement, etc.
• Use Zoom to record your submission which shows both you and the audience.

Use of generative artificial intelligence

• You may use generative artificial intelligence in developing ideas for the assessment and for checking spelling, grammar and syntax.
• Include a statement in your assessment regarding how you have used generative artificial intelligence and which system you have used.
• However, do not use generative artificial intelligence to write the assessment.
• If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

The video presentation will be based on your previous formulation and diagnosis.

• Start with a brief summary of the formulation.
• The majority of the presentation will describe a treatment plan for your client utilising evidence-based strategies.
• The plan will include some form of psychotherapy delivered by a psychologist.
• The plan will also consider the broader bio-psycho-social needs of the client.
• In other words, the rest of the inter-disciplinary team will contribute to the client's treatment (i.e. social work, occupational therapy, nursing, psychiatry, etc).
• Finally, allow the audience to ask a question and provide a brief response.

Additional notes

• Please note, you may use written prompts during the recording, but do not simply read from your notes.
• Consider time allocation for each part of the presentation (i.e., the treatment plan is worth twice the marks of the summary).
• Video length should be between 9 to 11 minutes.
• You must also submit a Word document containing your references when you submit the video file.

The video presentation of the treatment plan is worth 30% of your final grade. Marks are allocated according to the following criteria
