Briefly explain how the size and scope of the DSM has changed since its original edition. Ans: It has expanded in size and scope with every new edition. The largest increase took place from DSM-II to DSM-III. In the time between the original DSM (in 1952) and DSM-IV (in 1994), the number of disorders increased by more than 300% to a total of 368 distinct diagnoses. Cognitive Domain: Comprehension Answer Location: Assessment Difficulty Level: Medium 2. Internet gaming disorder, attenuated psychosis syndrome, persistent complex bereavement, and nonsuicidal self-injury are discussed in the text as “proposed criteria sets” in DSM-5. First, explain what is meant by proposed criteria sets. Second, select one of the disorders and briefly describe its symptoms. Ans: “Proposed criteria sets” are descriptions of proposed disorders that are included in the DSM-5 to encourage additional research that may contribute to a disorder’s inclusion as an official disorder in a future version of the manual. In Internet gaming disorder, a person’s Internet game-playing behavior causes clinically significant impairment or distress. In attenuated psychosis syndrome, a person experiences mild or brief delusions, hallucinations, or other psychotic phenomena. In persistent complex bereavement, a person experiences intense sorrow and continues to be preoccupied with the death of a loved one for over 12 months. In nonsuicidal self-injury, a person intentionally hurts his own body without the intent to kill himself. Cognitive Domain: Comprehension Answer Location: Assessment Difficulty Level: Medium 3. Briefly explain the fundamental differences between projective personality tests (e.g., Rorschach, TAT) and objective personality tests (e.g., MMPI, MMPI-2, and NEO-PI-R). Ans: Projective tests involve presenting the client with ambiguous stimuli. They assume that the way an individual perceives and makes sense of the blots corresponds to the way they perceive and make sense of the world around them. Objective tests are typically pencil-and-paper self-report instruments with more restricted ranges of responding (e.g., multiple-choice or true–false rather than free response). Objective tests have generally had less questionable reliability and validity than projective tests. Cognitive Domain: Comprehension Answer Location: Assessment Difficulty Level: Medium 4. Briefly summarize three of the ways in which war has influenced the history of clinical psychology. Ans: Army Alpha and Beta intelligence tests during World War I, used to measure the intelligence of recruits and soldiers, were precursors to today’s intelligence tests. Wechsler’s clinical experiences during World War I aided his creation of the WechslerBellevue. Following World War II, veterans returned with “shell shock” and other Pomerantz, Clinical Psychology, 5e SAGE Publishing, 2020 psychological symptoms; the U.S. government provided significant funding to train additional clinical psychologists to treat these veterans. The Nazi presence in Europe during the 1930s forced many influential figures in clinical psychology to flee their home countries, facilitating the spread of their theories to England and, ultimately, the United States. Clinical psychologists play a critical role in treating veterans from recent military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; the VA is one of the country’s largest providers of mental health services.
