SAMPLE ASSIGNMENTS ANALYSIS PAPERS: Students are required to complete two assignments:
1.
“The psychological autopsy”: The purpose of the psychological autopsy is to:
(a) Provide the victim’s family with information about the death. (b) Enable the professional organization, or society, to develop future prevention programs and lessons learned so that those experiencing SI and family members are better served. After selecting a famous individual that has committed suicide, use the Internet as your guide for answering the following questions about the victim of suicide. 1. Did this person have a history of mental illness diagnoses prior to committing suicide? a. If so, describe this history. b. If so, does this appear to be related to the suicide? c. If so, what treatments did this individual seek or receive prior to suicide? d. If not, does this person’s behavior prior to suicide suggest that they may be qualified for a DSM-5 diagnosis? 2. Did this individual display any classic warning signs of suicide prior to the act? a. If so, what were these signs? 3. Was the use of substances involved in the events leading up to the suicide? a. If so, how? 4. Describe some of the major life stressors or stress events that may have contributed to the suicide? 5. Does this individual have a family history of suicide or mental illness? Disclaimer: This demonstration is strictly for educational purposes and is entirely fictional; the person named in the psychological autopsy or anyone related to them was never actually evaluated, and the report author conducting this psychological autopsy is not qualified to conduct psychological autopsies.
