Diagnostic Evaluation Draft Report
NOTE! If you do a great job on this draft and would like to make no changes and keep the same grade for your final report, that’s fine with me. If you earn 100, I’ll do that for you automatically. If you don’t submit a final diagnostic evaluation, I’ll use the score from your draft as your final evaluation score. It would help if you add the comment “please use my midterm evaluation grade for my final evaluation grade” just so we’re clear.

Diagnostic Evaluation Draft Report
: You will create a diagnostic evaluation draft report using the template above. Please assess and diagnose
a fictional character from a well-known movie, book, or television program that has a diagnosis covered in the class. IMAGINE THAT THE CHARACTER HAS LEFT THE MOVIE/BOOK/SHOW AND WALKED INTO YOUR THERAPY OFFICE. How would that character respond to your questions?
Submission Guidelines: Reports must be submitted through Canvas. Plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in at least an automatic “F” for the assignment (also see FSU regulations).
Please include the following statement on every assignment: “I hereby declare that I have not utilized any generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools or technologies in the creation of this work.”
Diagnostic Evaluation Guidelines
· Please use the provided report template.
· Please address all of the components for each section.
· If the book, movie, or TV show does not provide you with much information about your character, it may be wise to select a character from another source that provides more detail.
· It is also permissible to take some creative license and fill in the blanks with made-up information if you feel it will bring your character to life.
· For this reason, I ask that you only choose fictional (not real) characters. Please do not choose a book/show/movie that portrays the life of a real person, alive or deceased.
· While it is helpful to report some information about the client’s family and friends, please avoid the mistake of over-analyzing a family member. Keep the focus on the client.
· I DO NOT need a plot summary. Only share what is relevant to the client’s diagnosis and DO NOT start detailing what happened in the movie. I should feel like I am reading about a real person that you met, not about a movie or show.
· Please follow APA format where necessary. Cite sources. Provide a references page which includes the full citation for the move/book/show.
