DISCUSSION BOARD #10 QUESTION:
(textbook chapter 10)
Discussion Board Question: TD#10: Disorders Involving Gender and Sexuality
Initial prompt:
Regarding GENDER DYSPHORIA: The APA recognizes that Gender Identity Disorder (GID) may be a stigmatizing diagnosis and has proposed that the term be changed to Gender Incongruence. Also of note, the committee discussed the issue of whether this was a psychiatric or medical condition and decided to leave that open in an attempt to help patients obtain insurance coverage for cross-gender hormones, sexual reassignment, and other therapies. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently (2019) moved away from this language. Gender Dysphoria involves a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender, of at least 6 months duration. The issue of medical vs. psychiatric diagnosis was again raised here. It was noted that many of the individuals with Gender Incongruence ceased having distress once they were on cross-gender hormones or had sexual reassignment. Ceasing the treatment would cause the individual to again experience distress. Overall, there is an increased sensitivity to not stigmatize the patient. Many feel that this is not a psychiatric condition at all and that it should not be listed as such, and thus this is an extremely controversial area. Please consider your personal thoughts on this area, and share on the DB if (and however much) you feel comfortable – Please, however, consider how your thoughts may impact patient care.
DISCUSSION BOARD #11 QUESTION:
(textbook chapter 9)
Discussion Board Question: TD#11: Eating Disorders and Sleep-Wake Disorders
Initial prompt:
Many of us can relate to the “clean plate club,” as well as food as a reward and punishment. That is, “if you eat your dinner, you can have dessert,” or “now you’ll go to bed hungry.” Although food makes an excellent reinforcer and punisher, what message does it send to children? What about the “clean plate club”? What are other ways in which you have seen food associated with reinforcement or punishment? How may some of these associations create problematic messages around food, eating, and body image? Are these associations always problematic?
Additionally, consider how the understanding of disordered eating has changed over time.
