Psychological disorders and their treatment are a fascinating area to study. Imagine you are now a psychology professional, working with two separate clients, each experiencing one of the disorders which you read about this past week. (Be sure to use a different fictitious client than the one you discussed in the Unit 9 Discussion.)

1. Describe how you will identify the specific disorder through actual symptoms which the clients present, using the DSM-IV TR.
2. Recommend two different types of treatment options for each client based on the main four approaches we discussed this term (Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive, and Behavioral).
3. What specific techniques might you try using to help this client based on these schools of thought?
4. What are the ethical obligations of psychology professionals when it comes to selecting the best treatment?

Be sure to use specific information from the text to support your answers when defining the different terms and concepts. When referencing the text, you need to use APA formatting.
