Psychology: Living with OCD - Mind Map

Directions: It's one thing to script a comedy-drama (Monk) about living with OCD, but its another to hear what it's actually like living with the disorder.

Learn about the lives of 3 people living with OCD and identify how each deal with their disorder. As you learn, take notes on what you are learning using the NoteAnywhere Chrome extension (download below). This tool allows you to take notes on any site, and it will stay on that site when you return -- great research tool!!

After, with a partner, create a Mind Map using the template I created. I have given you pieces of the Mind Map and you and a partner must figure out how to use the pieces to best construct an understanding of what life is like.  You can also incorporate information from the Monk episode we watched in class. Work collaboratively, both consuming the the same information, and add elements, change them, create more space if need be...
