Share your perspectives on personality assessment, mental health, mental illness, and models of coping, incorporating at least 2 of the presentations and/or articles from this Module.

Some ideas and questions to consider are:

· What are your views on the medical, moral, compensatory, and enlightenment models? Do you subscribe more to one than to the others? Do you think the preferred model might differ depending on the circumstances and the person? Which model(s) do you think might be more effective, and why? Are there any of the models you think could be damaging or counterproductive? If so, why?

· Discuss psychopathology. What perspectives are portrayed by the videos of people with mental illnesses? Is there anything about these videos that is different from what you would have expected?

You are not limited to these questions and topics, and you do not need to answer all the questions or address all the topics posed above. They are suggested to provide a starting point for your thought processes. Share your own ideas that relate to the topics of the Module, and pose questions of your own if you wish. You may also incorporate sources other than those from the course materials
