An exposé of rape crimes on U.S. college campuses, their institutional cover-ups, and the devastating toll they take on students and their families.

Assignment Instructions

Watch the film, The Hunting Ground (Links to an external site.) (1 hr 44 min). Closed Caption video link here (Links to an external site.)Develop a typed-written (4 paragraphs) response addressing the following questions:

  1. Reflect on the film’s provocative title, The Hunting Ground. Does the title accurately capture the main themes of the film? Do you agree that the campuses depicted in the film served as hunting grounds for perpetrators and endangered victims? Can you think of alternative titles?
  2. Prior to The Hunting Ground, Dick Kirby and Amy Ziering produced The Invisible War, an Oscar-nominated film about sexual assault in the US military. In a recent interview, Ziering stated, “We thought that schools would be more transparent (than the military), but we found just the opposite.” Why, in your opinion, do colleges fail to hold perpetrators of sexual assault accountable and in some cases cover up their crimes?
  3. Several survivors interviewed in the film offer examples of “victim blaming”: suggestions from administrators, campus police, or law enforcement that they were responsible for their assaults. Why is victim blaming a problem? How does it contribute to a feeling of betrayal among student survivors of sexual violence? What is an appropriate way to respond to a student who reports sexual violence?
  4. Dr. Caroline Heldman, an Occidental College faculty member interviewed for the film, says that what exacerbates the trauma of survivors is that they are often trapped on campus with the perpetrator. As a result, no place on campus feels safe. What can be done to address this problem? What would it take for an academic institution to transform itself from being a hunting ground to providing a safe and supportive environment for all its students?

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
