Unit 9: Abnormal Psychology and Unit 10: Therapy
On Tuesday we will have a discussion day. It will not be as structured as our Nature vs. Nurture Debate. Instead, I just want us to discuss treatment of the mentally ill in the United States. Now that we have studied psychological disorders and treatments, I want you to share your opinions and thoughts on this matter. Should we execute the mentally ill? How should we treat the mentally ill in the US? Should the mentally ill be allowed to purchase guns? We can take the discussion in whichever direction your class chooses. To get you started, please read the first article below-"Should we execute the Mentally Ill?" The rest of the articles are optional, they are just to get you started about the topic. Feel free to find your own research and articles to support your opinions.
