Write a paper that focuses on your key issue. You should summarize your issue, including the debate that exists surrounding that issue, and weigh in with an informed opinion. Be sure to refer to at least five peer reviewed journals (books are great sources and you should use them, but NB that they’re not peer reviewed).
Chose ONE of the following possible topics:
In what ways has electroshock been misused? (you definitely want to consider the lived experiences of those who have gone through electroshock). Why do we use the refusal term “shock and not “ECT” (it’s really the same reason all refusal terms are used–what is it they’re refusing)?–see pg 83 of your text; OR
What makes drugging of children especially problematic? Why do we use the refusal term “drugging” and not “medicating”? Hint: it has to do with legitimacy–see pg 83 of your text. There are many ostensible reasons that children are made to take psychiatric drugs. You can talk about any of them except the label ADHD. Students don’t seem to be aware that there are any psychiatric labels for kids other than ADHD so it’s a really overused topic–so don’t pick that one; OR
How has the DSM-5 contributed to the proliferation of psychiatric labels?; OR
What are the ethical concerns around Community Treatment Orders?
