Applying Social Psychology to Understand Historical Events

Applying Social Psychology to Understand Historical Events

Unit 3 Discussion 2:
In this unit’s assignment, you are asked to use the assigned articles to analyze the historical maltreatment of psychiatric inpatients. In this discussion, you will summarize one of the articles and

review the summaries of other learners to ensure you have a good grasp of the authors’ perspectives. This discussion is an opportunity to work together to prepare for your individual efforts

for this unit’s assignment.
Be sure to read all three articles. (Remember, ultimately you will need to understand each article to complete the assignment). Use the Argument Analysis Worksheet provided in the Resources

section to summarize either the Overbeck and Park, or Haslam article. Do the other learner’s summaries accurately reflect the article? Do they appear to understand the main points?

Read Chapter 6, “Panic, Anxiety, Obsessions, and Their Disorders,” pages 162–210.

Read Chapter 2, “Historical and Contemporary Views of Abnormal Behavior,” pages 28–53.
