Discussion 1: Common Sense and Science
It is easy to make decisions based on beliefs or what one thinks is correct. It is also common to believe that something is correct because it is “common sense” or “intuitively obvious.” In reality, we tend to make decisions based on erroneous thinking and sometimes confuse facts and beliefs. The readings this week will help you to more clearly see the difference and why scientific methods are so important to critical thinking.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post your explanation of the difference between common sense and science, the connections between common sense and people’s beliefs, and how this all relates to critical thinking and to being a scholar-practitioner in your area(s) of interest. Include your definition of “belief perseverance” and explain how it interferes with critical thinking. Share at least one strategy you would employ (or have employed) to ensure critical thinking in the presence of a personal belief system.

Discussion 2: Personality Disorders, Current Controversies
What is the difference between observed patterns of personality and a personality disorder? Although some patterns of behavior may contribute to an individual’s personality, not all personality patterns may be disorders. For example, if a person is described as cold, cerebral, and rigid, these are patterns that might affect his or her personality, but may not lead to a diagnosed disorder. As defined in the DSM, “A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of one’s culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment” (APA, 2013, p. 645).
Specifically, personality disorders, such as antisocial personality disorders and borderline personality disorders, present pervasive, maladaptive pattern of inner experience and behavior that violate social norms such as trust, honesty, and personal value.
For this Discussion, consider current controversies in the diagnosis of personality disorders, with specific attention to borderline personality disorders and antisocial personality disorders. Additionally, think about how culture and gender influences the diagnosis of personality disorders.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief explanation of how culture and gender may influence diagnoses of clients with personality disorders. Then, explain one controversy associated with the diagnosis of women with borderline personality disorder and one controversy associated with the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder in men.
