Research in Neurodiverse Psychology for Social Benefit
This class-wide set of posters together highlight research conducted by students in PSY 420: Neurodiverse Psychology. Each student selected a distinct DSM-5-TR diagnostic category and, acting as an emerging scholar, investigated empirically-supported treatments for a particular psychological disorder by synthesizing peer-reviewed meta-analytic reports and efficacy studies. Additionally, presenters have worked to identify a prevalent myth about each diagnosis using scholarly evidence and offer verified local and regional mental health resources available to those who would benefit from such support. Finally, presenters explore how faith and cultural perspectives intersect may with evidence-based care in the category. Together, the session represents an intent to translate complex psychological research into accessible, community-relevant knowledge.
