Some of you asked for the details of the casebook that accompanies the DSM-IV. The one I was discussing (there are several versions of this book) is:

Spitzer, R. L., Gibbon, M., Skodol, A. E., Williams, J. B. W., & First, M. B. (Eds.) (1994). DSM-IV Casebook: a learning compainion ot the diagnositic and statistical manula of mental disorders, fourth edition. Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.  American Psychological Press, Inc. Washington, D. C.
I found it at: http:// www.amazon.com/Dsm-IV-Casebook-Companion-Diagnostic-Statistical/ dp/0880486759/ref=sr_1_4? ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221941556&sr=8-4
The DSM5 is now also available through Amazon: 

Casebook for DSM-5: Diagnosis and Treatment Planning




Here is another resource: Influence: The psychology of persuasion https://ia800400.us.archive.org/5/items/ThePsychologyOfPersuasion/The%20Psychology%20of%20Persuasion.pdf
 This is the book I mentioned. It recently became available online so you can read it as a pdf file. 

Here are two other good readings:

How To Stubbornly Refuse To Make Yourself Miserable About Anything-yes, Anything! by Albert Ellis

Test 1, Test 1 answers

 

Intellectual Integrity and Plagiarism

“Throughout their educational program, students should be impressed with the fact that cheating and plagiarism are morally degrading and that these practices seriously interfere with learning and intellectual development.”

“Plagiarism:  Courtesy and honesty require that any ideas or material borrowed from another must be fully acknowledged.  Offering the work of another as one’s own is plagiarism.  The subject matter of the ideas thus taken from another may range from a few sentences or paragraphs to entire articles copied from books, periodicals, or the writing of other students.  The offering of materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgements is also considered plagiarism.  Any student who fails to give credit for ideas or materials taken from another is guilty of plagiarism.”  SFASU Student Handbook

Honesty and representing one’s knowledge and abilities appropriately are important ethical principles of the social work profession.  Any student found to have plagiarized or to have cheated on an assignment will be given a 0 on that assignment.  Given the limited number of graded assignments in this course, a 0 could have serious consequences for the student’s academic standing.

Appropriate attribution is expected on all works that have been used in any assignment. This includes any published or unpublished works by anyone and any personal work that has been turned in for any assignment or has been published. Papers that have been previously turned in for course credit are to receive appropriate attribution as either a published or unpublished work.

 

General Policies for the Course

Students are expected to arrive on time and stay for the duration of the class. Class participation is expected.

The Office of Disability Services is committed to providing equal opportunities in higher education to academically qualified students with disabilities who demonstrate a reasonable expectation of college success. Disabled students attending this university will be integrated as completely as possible into the University community. The university shares responsibility with the student for modifying campus facilities and programs to meet individual need. Students with disabilities at Stephen F. Austin State University can have access to tools and resources that will assist them. For more information about access to tools and resources, students may direct questions to: Disability Services, Stephen F. Austin State University, P.O. Box 6130, Nacogdoches, Texas 75962-6130 or call (936)468-3004 or go to www.sfasu.edu/disabilityservices/index.htm.

 

Assignments must be submitted on the due date. Late work receives a grade of 0 (unless previous arrangements have been made with the instructor). The only exceptions to this policy are University excused absences. These exceptions are the illness of self or a near family member and death of a near family member.  The instructor should be notified in these cases prior to the beginning of the class period.

 

All assignments must be submitted in electronic form for grading. The preferred format is Microsoft Word. If another format is used, such as WordPerfect, Rich Text Format (rtf), or other word processing software, it must be compatible with MS Word. Papers should be submitted to:
