Applying Social Psychology to Understand Historical Events
Applying Social Psychology to Understand Historical Events
Project description
Unit 3 Discussion 2:
In this unit’s assignment, you are asked to use the assigned articles to analyze the historical maltreatment of psychiatric inpatients. In this discussion, you will summarize one of the articles and review the summaries of other learners to ensure you have a good grasp of the authors’ perspectives. This discussion is an opportunity to work together to prepare for your individual efforts for this unit’s assignment.
Be sure to read all three articles. (Remember, ultimately you will need to understand each article to complete the assignment). Use the Argument Analysis Worksheet provided in the Resources section to summarize either the Overbeck and Park, or Haslam article. Do the other learner’s summaries accurately reflect the article? Do they appear to understand the main points?
Read Chapter 6, Panic, Anxiety, Obsessions, and Their Disorders, pages 162210.
Read Chapter 2, Historical and Contemporary Views of Abnormal Behavior, pages 2853.
