Scholarly References’ are peer-reviewed journal articles published in the last 5 years. One reference from your initial post may come from a course text-books or the DSM. ‘Scholarly References’ does not include editorials, expert opinion, or patient-level web/blog posts (i.e. MayoClinic.org). Although professional reference sites (i.e. Up-to-Date) are quality sources of information, I intend for you to interpret the content of the ‘Scholarly References’ yourself. What are the differences between brief psychotic disorder, schizophreniform disorder, and schizophrenia? How would the treatment plan vary amongst the three disorders?
