The undergraduate psychology students from the Miami campus created dolls to represent a psychological disorder as part of their Abnormal Psychology class project. Each student was tasked with designing a figurine to coincide with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-V) diagnosis.  During the event each psychology student presented their project to the campus community and helped raise awareness about mental health issues with the goal of reducing stigma towards mental illness.There were 16 DSM disorders represented at the event ranging from Mood Disorders to Personality Disorders. Over 100 students, faculty, and staff participated in this event and reported that student’s work and creativity was remarkable.
