Paper details:
You work as a mental health professional in an organization that is
examining methods to avoid potential intelligence compromises. You have
been asked to evaluate an existing spy case in order to achieve a greater
working knowledge of the motivation of espionage in an effort to avoid
future compromises in the organization.
In a formal report, conduct an evaluation and case conceptualization.
Identify the risk factors, vulnerabilities, and threats; identify the potential
mental disorders, symptoms, and prognoses; and explain how this type of
indirect assessment relates to the ethics code as prescribed by APA.
Tasks:
Create an 8­ to 10­page report responding to the following:
Select a spy case from the Defense Personnel and Security Research
Center (PERSEREC) case page. You cannot select a case that has already
been examined or discussed in this course.
Conduct a case study evaluation and case conceptualization of your
selected spy case as described below.
For the case study evaluaÕÉ≠†Њ†tion:
Summarize the case facts. Include not only the case details as outlined by
evidence and a description of the act but also the characteristics of the
perpetrator, such as demography, socioeconomic status, work history, and
relation with the intelligence community (IC) organization where the
espionage occurred. Articulate what, where, when, how, and who of the act
of espionage in the case you have chosen.
Identify the risk factors and vulnerabilities in the spy and the threats of the
case. Risk factors and vulnerabilities are intrinsic to the perpetrator and
include factors that made the perpetrator more susceptible to committing
the act of espionage. Threats are extrinsic to the perpetrator and bring
dangers to the asset. In these cases, the asset is national security
information.
For the case conceptualization:
Describe the cognitive processes, behavior, and emotional makeup of the
spy, such as how he or she thinks, acts, or feels, using a major theoretical
orientation on personality psychology (such as cognitive behavioral and
psychodynamic behavioral).
Identify any potential mental disorders or symptoms that may exist and
include them in your prognosis.
Explain how this type of indirect assessment meets (or does not meet) the
ethics code as prescribed by APA. This section should be supported by the
existing body of psychology literature.
The report should rely upon at least five scholarly resources from the
professional literature. The literature may include the Argosy University
online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer­reviewed journal articles;
and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or
institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).
