Preparing for the Informational Interview

Begin to prepare for this informational interview by identifying the professional you plan to interview. Ideally, the professional should be engaged in a career that you hope to pursue. (You may want to identify a second candidate in case your initial choice is unable to complete the interview with you.) This professional may work in your local area, but that is not necessary. If you cannot identify a professional easily, ask your friends and family if they know anyone who works in the field of psychology. You may also want to phone your local community mental health center or social services agency to ask for names and contact information of potential professionals you could interview. Contact your facilitator for guidance if you have difficulty in identifying someone.

Tasks

In a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document, address the following:

  • Provide the following identifying information about the individual you have selected:
    • The name
    • The job title (licensed psychologist, social worker, or case manager)
    • The level of education (a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree)
    • A description of job responsibilities or day-to-day tasks
    • The type of license, if applicable
    • The state of residence and practice
    • The e-mail address or phone number
  • Develop a list of at least fifteen questions to ask in your informational interview. Research possible questions to include using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet. Refer to the Job Resources document to conduct an Internet search using the search terms “informational interview questions” in order to find suggested questions. Be sure to put them into your own words for the purpose of this assignment and to give credit to your source by using in-text citations and a reference list in APA format.
  • Ask the interviewee about his or her work, academic preparation, and advice. In addition, include the interviewee’s answers to questions on the following topics:
    • The experience, skills, and knowledge necessary for success in a career in psychology or in graduate school
    • Relevant professional organizations
    • His or her views on professional ethics and academic integrity
    • The role of psychological research in his or her work
    • His or her greatest challenges and rewards
    • His or her reasons for choosing the field
  • Develop a script (word-for-word written statement) that you will use during the warm-up (meet-and-greet) portion of the interview. What will you say to the interviewee when you meet him or her? What will you do? For example, will you shake the person’s hand and introduce yourself? Include small talk of a professional nature that will serve as an introduction and explanation of the purpose of the interview. Demonstrate in your script your ability to interact professionally and effectively in a professional environment.
  • This assignment is preparatory work for the interview to be conducted later in this course. Do not conduct the interview for this assignment.

The primary reason for having the interview with Dr. Robin Brooks is to inquire his insights into a field of study I am passionate to join. I believe that information derived from the interview will be an eye-opener in encouraging me to excel as a future professional mental health counselor. Besides, I am motivated to play a part in alleviating the rising problem of increasing population of mentally challenged people in my society, considering that I also lost close relative due to such state of health (Donaldson et al., 2014).

Questions

Some of the fifteen questions I had drafted before-hand for the interview with Mr. Brooks in understanding the profession seek to inquire about:

1. Why did you choose the profession and what did you like in the profession?

2. Some of your challenging encounters as a BHS specialist?

3. Some of the memorable experience during your career?

4. What number of cases have you intervened and how many do you handle daily?

5. Which is the most intriguing case you have ever handled?

6. What other identified elements of work exposure that should be emphasized during classroom learning?

14. What other areas of majors are available for students pursuing this field?

15. What is your general take about the profession, and what is your advice to any student seeking to join the profession?

Interview Script

In commencing the interview, it is essential that the formalities of engagement be prioritized to facilitate a smooth discussion. Therefore, in my discussion, it will be important that I introduce myself with civility by first gesturing for the greeting (along with the hallway or pavement) before introducing myself and my purpose for visit. However, if in the office I would knock before proceeding with the introduction formalities. After which, I will ask for the interviewee consent to have a face-to-face interview, including other acknowledgments of how I seek to achieve the interview purpose (Crosby, 2014).

For example, “greeting Madam? My name is XXX, a final year student at Argosy University pursuing my degree as a social worker. We did communicate a week ago where you booked me an appoint today.” If she consents me to take a sit I will then proceed with the purpose of my invite. “I am glad to have joined you today and hoping to benefit much from your insights about life as a licensed professional social worker in the field”. Also, the interviewer must acknowledge the interviewee for his participation in the interview both through formal acknowledgement and a thank you note. For example, “thank you ones again for your time and patience, I am very grateful to be in your presence and for sharing in detail. I look forward to meet you again in future, all the best in your career and bye.” Generally, it is important to conduct self diligently to enhance the cordial relationship and atmosphere important to encouraging a good interaction platform (Crosby, 2014). Also, it is essential that the interviewer asks for permission all the time when seeking to include other instruments for the interview, or when seeking clarity. Good communication etiquette is paramount to the success of an interview process (Crosby, 2014).

Assessment is one of the most vital and complicated processes that psychologists undertake before they provide a diagnosis. The reason is that assessment needs to be accurate so as the right diagnosis is given to a person or their health status is adequately known. However, assessment and diagnosis techniques vary on whether a person is a clinical psychologist or counseling psychologist. After a careful review of the case of Amanda, the best assessments to help her are the ones that relate to the counseling psychology field. The reason is that counseling psychologist knows issues relating to food consumption, economic, social, and psychological factors and how they relate to health and mental wellbeing of individuals. A counseling psychologist will provide adequate and right assessment techniques that will help formulate the best diagnosis plan for Amanda and raise questions that will be helpful in getting more information regarding her problem.

As a counseling psychologist to provide effective diagnosis plans and measures for Amanda, one will need first to analyze and understand the case. The parents believe that Amanda has an eating disorder, but Amanda is in denial. It is important to start by considering that Amanda eats less than the way she exercises, has troubles at night while sleeping, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Also, it is important to keep in mind that even though she accepts medical treatment, she has no confidence in the privacy of the sessions. There is a possibility that she might not reveal all information which can be critical in deciding the best diagnosis.

The common assessment that is used to gather information in cases of eating disorders. The two main assessment techniques are semi-structured interviews and a self-report questionnaire. They help retrieve information relating to body imagery and dietary consumption. Clinical Psychologists mostly use assessments like the questionnaires which only provide the symptoms and risks behaviors of eating disorders. Counseling psychologist prefers semi-structured interviews that require a lot of experience and skills because they provide additional information regarding diagnosis recommendations.

In the assessment process of Amanda, I will use interviews and tests. The interviews are important in the retrieval of information that will reveal the symptoms and risk factors of Amanda’s situation as well as recommendations. The will be to conduct the medical assessment, mental health assessment, and nutritional assessment. The first step is to take tests to evaluate the health conditions of Amanda in relationship to normal body functioning. The test will provide information regarding the physical status of Amanda. The second process is an interview that considers the sensitivity of personal information. The best interview that will ensure the most important information is obtained is eating disorder Inventory interview assessment that accesses the cognitive and behavioral trends of a person. The information will be helpful in determining the psychological and social aspects of Amanda.

There is additional information that I will get from the assessments which will be helpful in the formulation of the diagnosis. It is important to know if Amanda has been abused physically, emotionally, or even sexually which has a big impact on the self-esteem of many adolescents. Other important information that will be helpful is the total time Amanda takes each day to exercise, how much she eats, and the type of foods that she eats. Finally, another information will be academic progress, parent relationship, and special relationships. I will need to know the events that make her do exercises and the ones that make her lose appetite for eating. The specific questions that I will ask include:
 What gives you the feeling of exercising?
 How many times do you exercise per day?
 What meals do you take and how many times do you take them per day?
 How is academic progress?
 How is your relationship with your parents?
 How can you describe your relationship with your friends?
 Have you ever experienced weakness and nausea when you run?
 What made you decide to start dieting and doing exercises?

After obtaining the required information, it is important to consider the theoretical orientation that might influence making a diagnosis of the case. In the case of Amanda, the best theoretical orientation is cognitive behavioral therapy. The approach is effective in the situation of Amanda because it focuses on providing a remedy of extreme beliefs, distorted thoughts, and polarized thinking. It gives a psychologist a chance to analyze the beliefs of a patient and help them realize the errors in the beliefs. The orientation will help focus on identifying the behaviors and actions of Amanda relating to her beliefs and line of thought only. The next step is providing a diagnosis of Amanda according to DSM-5 manual. After analyzing the information, the most likely diagnosis for Amanda is anorexia nervosa. The reason is that she has a massive body weight which has been caused by excessive exercises, and a distorted body image.

According to the time one has been given to provide a diagnosis for Amanda, I think 48 hours is not sufficient to provide a diagnosis and conduct assessment that do not break any ethical issues. The reason is that a psychologist will need enough time of setting up interview questions that will not make Amanda uncomfortable. Since Amanda is not confident in the psychological session and is in denial, there is a high chance of her giving wrong information in the first days that might lead to inaccurate results. One needs at least three days to get Amanda to open up and reveal all information that is vital to determining the exact diagnosis. It will be even unethical to provide a diagnosis to obtain a third party payment. There is a high chance of collecting insufficient information which can worsen the condition of Amanda due to making wrong diagnosis decision.

Week 3 – Discussion 1

No unread replies.No replies.

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

The Ethics of Mandated Treatment

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. The use of mandated, or legally coerced, treatment is widespread. Yet research demonstrating the efficacy of this type of treatment is limited, and mandating mental health treatment is one of the most contested issues in the field of psychology. To justify the continued use of mandated treatment, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers are obligated to demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of such treatment programs.

You have been called in to consult on cases that may require mandated treatment. After reviewing the PSY699 The ethics of mandated treatment scenarios (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., File is attached choose two to discuss in your initial post. Begin your research with the required resources for this week. Using the specific situations presented in each of the scenarios you have chosen, conduct further research to help inform your recommendations for each individual. A minimum of one resource per scenario, beyond those already required for the assignment, must be included in your initial post.

In your post, construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to present your recommendations as to whether or not treatment should be mandated for the individuals in each of the scenarios. As you write your recommendations, be certain to provide insights into the following questions.

  • What are the ethical principles and implications raised by legally mandating clients into treatment?
  • What evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of treatment with and without coercion for this type of situation?
  • What would be the challenges in evaluating the effectiveness of mandated treatment?
  • How might mandated treatment impact your clinical decision making as the mental health professional assigned to these cases?
  • What client factors might limit or augment the potential benefits of treatment if it were mandated?

Integrating concepts from your research and the required readings, offer insights across different content domains as to why you have reached these conclusions. Explain how you used the APA Ethical Code of Conduct to guide your decisions. Evaluate the generalizability of your specific research findings to the situations presented and provide a rationale as to why this research supports your recommendations.

describe whether or not it is justifiable in this situation to render a diagnosis in order to obtain a third party payment.

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review Standard 9: Assessment  (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and DSM-5.

It is recommended that you read Chapters 4, 7, and 10 in the Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan (2015) e-book, Clinical Interviewing, as well as the Kielbasa, Pomerantz, Krohn, and Sullivan (2004) “How Does Clients’ Method of Payment Influence Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decisions?” and the Pomerantz and Segrist (2006) “The Influence of Payment Method on Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decisions Regarding Minimally Impaired Clients” articles for further information about how payment method influences the assessment and diagnosis process.

For this discussion, you will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and diagnose a hypothetical client.  Begin by reviewing the PSY650 Week Two Case Studies document and select one of the clients to diagnose.

In your initial post, compare the assessments typically used by clinical and counseling psychologists, and explain which assessment techniques (e.g., tests, surveys, interviews, client records, observational data) you might use to aid in your diagnosis of your selected client. Describe any additional information you would need to help formulate your diagnosis, and propose specific questions you might ask the client in order to obtain this information from him or her. Identify which theoretical orientation you would use with this client and explain how this orientation might influence the assessment and/or diagnostic process. Using the DSM-5 manual, propose a diagnosis for the client in the chosen case study.

Analyze the case and your agency’s required timeline for diagnosing from an ethical perspective. Considering the amount of information you currently have for your client, explain whether or not it is ethical to render a diagnosis within the required timeframe. Evaluate the case and describe whether or not it is justifiable in this situation to render a diagnosis in order to obtain a third party payment.

Discussion: Sampling and Collecting Quantitative and Qualitative Data

It is often not possible or practical to study an entire population, so researchers draw samples from which they make inferences about a population of interest. In quantitative research, where generalization to a population is typically valued, a researcher’s ability to make such inferences is only as good as the sampling strategy she or he uses to obtain the sample. Once an appropriate sample has been obtained, data collection should involve valid and reliable measures to ensure confidence in the results, as well as the ability to generalize the research outcomes. Although generalization is typically not a goal in qualitative research, sampling is just as important in qualitative and mixed methods research, as is obtaining reliable and valid results. Indeed, for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, sampling strategies and accurate data collection methods are critical aspects of the research process.

Specific methods of data collection (e.g., surveys, interviews, observations) produce specific types of data that will answer particular research questions, but not others; so here too, as covered in previous weeks, the research questions inform how the data will be obtained.  Furthermore, the method used to collect the data may impact the reliability and the validity of that data.

For this Discussion, you will first consider sampling strategies. Then, you will turn your attention to data collection methods, including their strengths, limitations, and ethical implications. Last, you will consider measurement reliability and validity in the context of your discipline.

With these thoughts in mind, if your last name starts with A through L, use Position A. If your last name starts with M through Z, use Position B.

Position A: Probability sampling represents the best strategy for selecting research participants.

Position B: Nonprobability (or purposive) sampling represents the best strategy for selecting research participants.

By Day 4

Post a restatement of your assigned position on sampling strategies. Defend your position with examples and support from the scholarly literature. Next, select a data collection method and briefly explain its strengths and limitations. Then, identify a potential ethical issue with this method and describe a strategy to address it. Last, explain the relationship between measurement reliability and measurement validity using an example from your discipline.

Discussion: Cognitive and Language Delays and Disorders

Throughout many weeks of the course, you explored theories that provide explanations for typical development. They focus on explaining the similarities—within a range—among humans in language and cognitive development. It is obvious from anecdotal experience that not all individuals develop in the same ways. Some have exceptional intelligence in a certain domain but a relative weakness in another. Other children may have a condition such as hearing impairment or speech disorder that affects language development but not cognitive development. Your course text presents several of the most common conditions that have implications for both. These include intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, and Down syndrome, which are often diagnosed in childhood. For families with these conditions, they of course continue to be concerns throughout the lifespan. As well, there are conditions that appear as humans age. Acquired brain injury, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, or stroke may cause exceptionalities to normal cognitive performance in adulthood and especially later in life.

The body of research on characteristics, causes, and ways to treat these disorders continues to grow at an extraordinarily fast rate. For this Discussion, you will select a delay or disorder that affects language or cognition. You then will research the topic to identify its contributing factors and characteristics, as well as empirically supported strategies that could be implemented with individuals who have the delay or disorder.

To prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources, considering atypical language and cognitive development broadly.

· Select one language or cognitive delay or disorder (e.g., Down syndrome, specific language impairment, language aphasia, dementia, Alzheimer’s, autism spectrum disorder).

· Search the Walden Library for peer-reviewed articles related to the delay or disorder you selected.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an explanation of the delay or disorder you selected, including two contributing factors and two characteristics of the delay or disorder. Explain two strategies that could be used to provide support to individuals who have this delay or disorder and/or their caregivers.

Note: Put the name of the delay or disorder you selected in the title of your post. 

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.

Key Assignment Final Draft

Part 1 Tasks

Write a paper of 1,500 words that responds to the following:

  • Discuss how Web 2.0 and social media have altered the way in which entrepreneurial and small businesses do the following:
    • Engage their existing customers
    • Attract new customers
    • Listen to employee and customer feedback
    • Respond to crises
  • Provide current examples.
  • Apply Kirton’s adaptation-innovation theory to discuss how a newer entrepreneurial venture might differ from a more mature, intrapreneurial venture in its approach to social media.

Part 2 Tasks

According to Byers, Kist, and Sutton’s article titled “Characteristics of the Entrepreneur: Social Creatures, Not Solo Heroes,” entrepreneurs are inherently social people (1997). This article explains why entrepreneurs are highly social by nature. In an article titled “Who’s Most Likely to go it Alone?,” Alessandra Bianchi offers a set of characteristics that predispose people toward entrepreneurship (1993). These characteristics, for example, come from life experiences such as being the child of an entrepreneur, being fired from multiple jobs, or being either an immigrant or the child of an immigrant.

With these readings in mind, complete the following in a paper of 4 pages:

  • Profile the founder of a well-known company, and focus on that person’s social characteristics.
  • Include references to the characteristics found in the Bianchi article, and align the characteristics with the founder’s personality.
