1. Both of the articles above talk about misdiagnosing, the first is a more personal account, the second is a list of potential reasons that misdiagnosis might occur. Discuss what you read, your thoughts/feelings. There is at least one very specific, glaring reason that "misdiagnosing" might occur - that is MISSING from the second article - what do YOU think it is? Expand. So far as of Tuesday 10:30am no one has hit on what I'm specifically thinking of! (which also could mean I'm being unclear...) Lots of good guesses though! 2. Respond to the following statement: "Diagnoses can and sometimes do stigmatize persons, creating an "us versus them" sense, that is, by promoting the idea that there is a clear-cut distinction between normal and abnormal behavior". Elaborate. DO NOT simply list or discuss the examples provided in our textbook. I'm interested in YOUR thoughts, not what the textbook might say. 3. The discussion in your text also mention diagnoses as potential self-fulling prophecies. Once someone is informed of a specific diagnosis, could that make them more likely to behave in ways that match said diagnosis? What do you think about this? Are diagnoses potentially "creating" more symptoms in people? Expand your thoughts and position. DO NOT simply list or discuss the examples provided in our textbook. I'm interested in YOUR thoughts, not what the textbook might say.
