The Assignment

In a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation, address the following:

• Provide an overview of the article you selected, including answers to the following questions:
  • What type of group was discussed?
  • Who were the participants in the group? Why were they selected?
  • What was the setting of the group?
  • How often did the group meet?
  • What was the duration of the group therapy?
  • What curative factors might be important for this group and why?
  • What “exclusion criteria” did the authors mention?
• Explain the findings/outcomes of the study in the article. Include whether this will translate into practice with your own client groups. If so, how? If not, why?
• Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article.

Note: The presentation should be 5–10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Include presenter notes (no more than a half page per slide) and use tables and/or diagrams where appropriate. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the article you selected. Support your presentation with evidence-based literature.

Select any of these articles below

Bélanger, C., Laporte, L., Sabourin, S., & Wright, J. (2015). The effect of cognitive-behavioral group marital therapy on marital happiness and problem solving self-appraisal. American Journal of Family Therapy, 43(2), 103–118. doi:10.1080/01926187.2014.956614

Himelhoch, S., Medoff, D., & Oyeniyi, G. (2007). Efficacy of group psychotherapy to reduce depressive symptoms among HIV-infected individuals: A systematic review and meta-analysis. AIDS Patient Care & Stds, 21(10), 732–739. doi:10.1089/apc.2007.0012

Look at a representative group (6-12) of photos of yourself that you think reflect who you are (a self-portrait). You do not need to submit/attach these photos. Write a two-page reflective paper explaining how your respective pictures reflect your self-concept, perceived self-control, and self-presentation. This assignment is based on readings from Chapter Four’s “The Self.” The photos are : Candid with my two dogs, Candid with my husband, posed by myself, posed with my parents, and posed candid by myself.

Keep in mind that this is supposed to be from your point of view—a self-analysis. For instance, if I were to look at a half a dozen photos of myself I would discuss how they represent me as a mom, a wife, a professor, etc. I would discuss how it is to be on the other side of the lens (I’m usually the photographer); how whatever is being captured is personally relevant to me or how it is significant. For instance, was it a place that I traveled to, was it a restaurant that I consider special, etc. You could really go into a lot with this. If it was a candid shot were you as happy with it as compared to a posed shot?

Criteria

This assignment needs to meet the following criteria:

• Include the following sections (with a minimum of 2 double-spaced pages of text beyond the title & reference pages):

-Title page (course #/your name/assignment #)

– Discuss why picked photos selected (2 paragraphs)

– Discuss how each photo represents who you are (5-6 paragraphs)

– Conclude whether or not this photo collection accurately captures who you are (1-2

paragraphs)

– Reference page (if you used any outside resources to garner your opinions)

• Do not “directly quote” outside resources (e.g., the textbook). You should get used to paraphrasing outside resources, whereby you put the information in your own words while still citing the source from which you derived your information. Keep in mind that using anything more than three consecutive words of the outside source is considered plagiarism.

Even if you haven’t held a managerial position yet, you have a conflict management style. This module’s case allows you to take the time to study yourself, and explore your conflict management style. After completing the brief quiz, pause and reflect how this style will help or hinder you in your future work.
