Families with school-aged children:

Researcher Lareau describes middle-class parents engaged in “concerted cultivation” parenting (which involves actively fostering their children’s talents, opinions, creativity & skills by enrolling children in organized activities & closely monitoring them; parents are also more likely to reason with children).  Middle-class parents expect teachers & institutions to accommodate their children, thus children grow up with a sense of entitlement.  In contrast, working-class and poor parent children experience more of a “natural growth” (focus on obedience, proper behavior, less organized activities, more play outside with cousins and siblings, and less hectic lives).  These parents use directives rather than reasoning when talking to children; working-class and poor parents and their children may be more intimidated by people who have power.  This results in children developing a sense of constraint.  This study also found that middle-class African-American families appear to be more like middle-class White families when it comes to parenting styles and interactions with children.  It is suggested that social class may be more important than race in some aspects of family life and parent-child relationships.

Based on your life experiences, observations, and knowledge from other classes, do you agree with the findings of this article?  Explain why or why not?  What are the implications of this study to teachers and human service professionals?  How do you think you may work differently with parents from different social classes?  Please use anything discussed in class, any research from other classes, and personal experience to use as evidence or to help support your opinion.

InstructionsAssignment 2: Case Study: Applying Your Attending SkillsAs you have learned in this module, attending skills are vital for focusing on the patterns and behaviors of your clients. This assignment will give you an opportunity to attend to a client and see if you can notice specific behavioral, emotional, and cognitive patterns of possible concern to a counselor.Read the following fictional case study and identify all three presenting aspects of this client as they appear in the case study.Create a table listing all the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive aspects of this client as they appear in the case study. Be careful not to interpret or assess. You are simply listing these aspects as they appear in the case study.Note: All aspects of this case study are completely fictional and any resemblance to a real person is coincidental.Terri is an 18-year-old, single, college freshman, who is attending school on a full scholarship for basketball. She is the only child of a single mother who lives in a studio apartment close to the school.Your client reports, “Last week in a playoff game, I missed one of two free throws early in the third quarter, and we lost the game by one point.” In spite of scoring a total of 24 points, making eight rebounds and four assists, Terri states to you, “It is my fault we lost the game. I can’t eat or sleep. I keep replaying that missed shot over and over and over. I’ve been going to the park across the street from my apartment and shooting free throws until late at night. I let my team down. This is my fault.”Terri lives in an older part of town where crime is on the rise. She finds herself distracted and nervous and states her heart flutters. She has sweaty palms, dry mouth, and she feels petrified at the thought of showing up for the practices starting in a couple of days. “For two days now I’ve sent all my calls to voice mail. I can’t call teammates or friends. My mom is probably worried because she hasn’t heard back from me.” Again she states, “I should have made that free throw. I choked. I blew it. It’s my fault we lost. That’s a lot of dreams right out of the window for my team.”Terri sells shoes part time at the mall and is up for a promotion to assistant manager. She is due back at work in two days after her break and says she does plan to go to work. She is physically healthy, has experimented with beer but has never been drunk, and denies homicidal or suicidal ideation.Next, explain how you will elicit the amount and type of information from a client in a real face to face situation.

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.
