Discuss the following:
Case Study Project
You will be applying concepts and theories from each broad area of psychological study covered in this course to one of two individuals, either a child or an adult, ultimately creating a complete case study of your chosen person.
Then, create a 1- to 2-paragraph description that summarizes what you know about that individual. There is enough information in the bulleted notes found in the Interactive Case Study for you to effectively describe this individual by applying the course concepts to his or her background and current functioning. If you feel additional information will enhance your ability to fully explain how each topic area relates to your chosen individual, feel free to be creative and describe additional details.
Keep in mind that in the coming weeks, you will be using this individual to illustrate your understanding of the course concepts.
Finally, read the readings and media about using the Walden Library. These resources are located Learning Resources. Then, search the Walden Library for one article relevant to your case study. To help you search the Walden Library, refer to the list of possible search terms listed in the media in this week's Required Resources. Briefly summarize the article you found in 1 to 2 paragraphs. Include 1 to 3 sentences on why you think this article will help you to apply the course topics to your chosen individual. You will use this journal article again in the final paper that you will submit in Week 5.
