PSYC 165 Drugs Behavior & Society - University of Southern California_PSYC 165 Midterm 2 Study Guide QUIZLET: https://quizlet.com/_3aizg5 Some notes to help you study for midterm 2, Spr 2017 A chall... enge this time is that the readings are very different from each other in many ways, and a couple of them are difficult. So in addition to pulling out SOME key terms and concepts, below I give some guidance about the readings. Also, while many likely find the material less challenging than in the first unit, we do have 5 weeks rather than 4 this time. Of course, if you have not kept up the work, it would be natural to treat this guide as the starting point (and maybe the end point), ‘this is the stuff I need to learn.’ If time is short, probably that is the best option left. But for most in that boat, you will have problems with the exam. The ideal is that this aid be used after going to lectures and sections and doing the reading. And in general, I did not summarize the readings or lectures here. I really just tried to provide guidance about the level of detail and note some of the important topics. Regarding lectures, as always you are responsible for having seen any video that was shown. But in general, I try to keep any questions about the videos easy, so that it is enough to have seen them, and they do not require note taking.

Know what “DSM” stands for, and what it is. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ● A comprehensive classification of officially recognized psychiatric disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, for use by mental health professions to ensure uniformity of diagnosis You do need to know the basis for the diagnoses for SUD.
