Week 2

Assignment: Case Study Analysis - Psychoanalytic and Trait Theory

The Module Assessment in Week 8 is a personality theory case study analysis that will be developed during Weeks 2 - 8. The Module Assessment is based on a case study found in your Learning Resources, "The Case of Mrs. C."

This week you examined personality theories from the psychoanalytic and trait theoretical perspectives. Supported by the information you gathered in your Personality Theory Matrix, analyze the case of Mrs. C based on one theory from the psychoanalytic orientation and one theory from the trait orientation examined this week. The case study analysis considers Mrs. C’s symptoms (including cultural considerations) and offers relevant assessments and interventions for her case. Additionally, it must be supported by scholarly materials from research of reputable sources.
