Select a psychosocial difficulty that may be experienced by an individual at some point during development (e.g., diagnosis with a learning disability, experience of physical abuse, separation from caregiver, onset of mental illness, etc.). Explore the impact of that event on development at two different stages. Each of the questions below should have 1-2 scholarly sources/per question cited to support your answer.

Offer a brief description of the difficulty, using at least 2-3 scholarly citations to summarize what is generally known about the difficulty and its impact (1-2 pages). Include any relevant sociocultural factors associated with the onset or maintenance of the difficulty.

Briefly describe an individual who has experienced this psychosocial difficulty, using a client, acquaintance (not yourself) or fictional character.

Describe normative development (physical, cognitive, moral, emotional, social) during the period in which the psychosocial event occurred. Use course readings to support this. (2 pages)

Discuss how development was interrupted or altered by the experience of the psychosocial difficulty for the individual you described in #2 (1-2 pages).

Consider how a subsequent stage of development may be affected by the experience of the psychosocial difficulty at the first stage (e.g., if you considered the impact of sexual abuse on a 10-year-old, how might that same individual’s development be different at age 25 as a result of having been abused at age 10?). Briefly summarize the key developmental tasks of the later stage and discuss how the development of the subject from #2 differs, possibly as a result of the psychosocial difficulty he or she experienced (1-2 pages).

Approximate content length is six pages. Papers should use APA 6th edition format, be double spaced, with size 12 New Times Roman font and one-inch margins, top, bottom and sides.
