What intervention strategies have been offered to the interviewee in the workplace?

/in /by

As introduced in Week 3, you will now conduct an interview. Your interview summary will be due in Week 6.

Interview someone who self-identifies with one of the mental conditions described by Thomas & Hersen (2002) in Part III. Examples of individuals to interview include, but are not limited to, someone:

  • seeking therapy for depression
  • with ADD or panic attacks
  • with a traumatic brain injury from illness or accident
  • diagnosed with dissociative disorder or schizophrenia

The interviewee may or may not be employed at the time of the interview. Explain to the person that you will be writing a summary of the interview for a university assignment, but will include no identifying information on him or her or on the company. Ask the interviewee to provide you with a description of how the condition affects him or her in the workplace. Ask what, if any, are effects on work performance and relationships in the workplace because of the condition.

What intervention strategies have been offered to the interviewee in the workplace? What would the person like the organization or management to offer?

Prepare your summary to post in Week 6. Write a summary of the interview, without giving the interviewee’s name. Include the condition, age, and gender of the interviewee. Provide a general description of the work environment without including any specific identifying information about the company. Include research from scholarly sources regarding workplace interventions related to this condition in providing additional ideas for treatment and/or interventions the company could implement to help others in the same situation.

MY TOPIC:  THE MOVIE “RAIN MAN”

Taking the Patient’s History

Each assignment in this course will help you prepare your Final  Paper. For each assignment, you will use the movie character or  historical figure you chose in your Week One journal. Remember, after  submitting this week’s assignment, you will not be allowed to change  your movie character or historical figure.

One of the first steps  in any clinical assessment is to gather a thorough history from the  patient. This history includes, at minimum, the patient’s identifying  information, presenting problem, and relevant personal history relating  to their presenting problem.

For this assignment, you will write  the first few sections of your psychological report. View the complete  instructions for the Final Paper in the link within Week Five of your  online course or the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this  guide. This week, your assignment must cover the following sections of  your psychological report and include the headings as listed:

  1. Identifying Information
    Within this section, you  will describe basic information on your patient, including the person’s  name, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, race, occupation, and  location of residence (country, state, and region).
  2. Chief Complaint/Presenting Problem
    Within this  section, you will include the patient’s primary complaint verbatim to  identify and describe the main source of his or her distress and/or  concerns. If there is no verbatim complaint, include observable  information to create an overall picture of the presenting problem.
    Typically,  this section within a psychological report seeks to answer the  following question (further elaboration within this section is  encouraged where possible):

    • What are the patient’s complaints? (e.g., the patient might complain about “feeling on edge” or experiencing stress)
  3. You will not be completing section III of the Final Paper for this week’s assignment.
  4. Personal History
    Within this section, you will  describe your patient’s personal background and history of abnormal  behavior(s) that inform your diagnostic impression. You will also gather  information about the patient’s cultural background and cultural norms.

    Typically,  this section within a psychological report seeks to answer the  following questions (further elaboration within this section is  encouraged where possible):

    • Where did the patient grow up?
    • What cultures did the patient experience throughout life?
    • What was the patient’s school life like?
    • What were his or her grades? What is his or her highest level of education?
    • What is the patient’s interpersonal relationship history?
    • What was/is the patient’s romantic relationship history?
    • What was/is the patient’s friendship history?
  5. Family History
    Within this section, you  will describe the patient’s familial relationship(s) and identify any  abnormalities that might affect future treatment. You will also  integrate information about the patient’s family and cultural background  to identify any maladaptive behaviors and relational patterns.

    Typically,  this section within a psychological report seeks to answer the  following questions (further elaboration within this section is  encouraged where possible):

    • How old were the patient’s parents when the patient was born?
    • Who were the patient’s primary caregivers?
    • What was/is family life like? (Include any information relevant to your diagnostic impression.)
    • Did the family move often?
    • What was/is the patient’s relationship with their siblings (if applicable)?
    • What culture did/does the family come from?
    • What belief systems are attached to that culture?
  6. Therapy History
    Within this section, you will  describe the patient’s therapy history to inform your diagnostic  impression. Analyze the patient’s therapy history to identify the  effectiveness of previous treatment(s). Evaluate previous treatment  interventions based on information and knowledge of the patient’s  cultural background.

    Typically, this section within a  psychological report seeks to answer the following questions (further  elaboration within this section is encouraged where possible):

    • Who was the previous therapist (if any)?
    • How long did the previous therapy/therapies last?
    • What was the patient’s diagnosis?
    • What interventions did the therapist(s) use?
    • Were those interventions appropriate for the patient’s culture?
    • Was treatment successful?

Your assignment should include both a title page and reference page,  and be of sufficient depth and detail to support and inform your  diagnostic impression, with an absolute minimum of four pages (not  including the title and reference pages). A cursory or surface level  review of the patient’s presenting problem and history will unlikely  provide enough information for your diagnostic impression.

Any sources used in the paper must be cited and referenced in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

how accurate are the various media  representations of psychopathology?

/in /by

For this discussion, you will enter into a dialogue on another  ongoing controversy and contemporary issue regarding abnormal  psychology. Specifically, how accurate are the various media  representations of psychopathology?

As you enter into this conversation, analyze depictions of the  identification and treatment of abnormal behavior in media sources. Then  take a moment to consider and comment on the consequences of accurate  and inaccurate depictions of mental health conditions in popular media.  Identify at least one theoretical perspective (e.g., biological,  cognitive, psychodynamic) from the literature that informs your  observations. Additionally, you should integrate information on how  media shapes our cultural expectations and norms with respect to  abnormal/maladaptive behavior. Be sure to utilize fundamental concepts  for the ethical application of psychology from Standards 2.04 and 5.04  of the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct as you  create your responses.

Which type of justice is most useful based on the psychological theories of crime?

/in /by

Assignment 1: Society’s Response to Crime

Society’s response to crime has changed over the past century. The approach of rehabilitation in the 1960s has gradually been replaced with a “get tough on crime” approach, bringing in mandatory sentencing laws and long prison sentences. Regardless of the approach, crime continues to be a problem, and recidivism for some crimes and some offenders remains high. In this assignment, you will explore society’s response to crime and different concepts of justice.

Read the following article from the Argosy University online library:

  • Tyler, T. R. (2006). Restorative justice and procedural justice: Dealing with rule breaking. Journal of Social Issues, 62(2), 307–326. DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-4560.2006.00452.x (EBSCO AN 20779250)
    http://libproxy.edmc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx? direct=true&db=pbh&AN=20779250&site=ehost-live

Research the ideas of justice using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Based on your research and the discussions so far, analyze the usefulness of the ideas of justice in lowering recidivism. Address the following:

  • Is restorative justice useful in lowering the rate of recidivism? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful? Make sure to include any demographic information that may be useful in defending this type of “justice.”
  • Is procedural or moral justice more applicable for this aim? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful? Make sure to include any demographic information that may defend one or the other.
  • Which type of justice is most useful based on the psychological theories of crime? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful?

Make sure your essay includes the following:

  • A title page with a running head
  • Headings
  • A reference page

Write a 5–7-page essay in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.doc.

Introduction

In middle and late childhood, Piaget theorized humans follow certain patterns in relation to cognitive development. Today, we question so many of our structures. Does Piaget stand up to modern psychological practices? Did Piaget take into account variation and children with disabilities? Does today’s modern classroom have room for Piaget?

Introduction

When people think about treatment for depression, mood disorders, anxiety, and psychosis, they most often think about therapy or medication as options. However, there are several other options, many of which are quite controversial such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), magnetic therapy, and Ketamine. The research on these treatments is mixed, but many believe that they hold promise in the treatment of severe and persistent mental illness that has remained unchanged with more traditional treatment.

Initial Post Instructions

After reading/watching the resources for this week’s discussion, answer the following questions.

Many people tend to think of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as a barbaric, outdated treatment for mental illness, although some research and personal accounts tout its success. After reading the research on ECT and watching the YouTube videos about Jenny’s experience with ECT, what is your opinion about ECT in the treatment of depression and other mental health disorders?

What do you think about the use of other possible treatments such as Ketamine or magnetic therapy?

In general, what is your opinion on medication vs. therapy for the treatment of mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders? Should therapy always be the first option before trying medication? What about less invasive holistic therapies such as modifications to one’s diet, meditation, or intentional exercise?

Make sure to cite at least one of the resources listed in this activity in your initial post.
