Pseudo Mental Health Clinic

The name of this integrated courseware learning activity is called Pseudo Mental Health Clinic.  This courseware will be designed for learners in higher education who are enrolled in psychology, counseling and social work programs.  The courseware will consist of different levels of exercises pertaining abnormal psychology and mental health counseling as it relates to mental health disorder diagnosis.  That is, learners will be able to participate in exercises in which they build and demonstrate their knowledge of a particular diagnosis and/or attempt to diagnose a video or simulation of a “pretend” client (pseudo client).  The pseudo client will present his or her problem to the learner and the learner will be able to use recognition (multiple – choice) or recall (short answer) in order to respond to the client’s information and presentation.  After the learner decides on a diagnosis he or she will then indicate why the specific diagnosis was chosen, while also including a differential diagnosis.  The learner will be given feedback after his or her response.  The feedback will consist of the correct response and a statement(s) that illustrates a thinking process that includes a differential diagnosis.  This will increase the opportunity for meaningful learning.  Lessons that include practice exercises allow for the integration of new knowledge into prior knowledge (Clark and Mayer, 2003).
