Case Study 1 Instructions
The purpose of Case Study 1 is to provide an opportunity to demonstrate course-related knowledge in speaking more “deeply” about 1 specific client. Your case study will identify specific behaviors and how those behaviors are evaluated in light of a specific theory. You will also identify ways that specific behaviors can be addressed in a manner consistent with the theories of your field. (For research-oriented internships, you will identify specific variables being studied and provide rationale for the study.)
With explicit permission from your site supervisor, choose a case, circumstance, or situation at your site. If an appropriate case cannot be obtained from your site, then you may complete a case study on a historical or fictional character. You will need explicit permission from your instructor to use a historical or fictional character.
Discuss the following steps with your supervisor:
· Without violating confidentiality, provide background information on your subject (or group/situation), including behaviors observed, any medical information that is available, socio-cultural factors that might affect treatment, etc.
· Provide information about current behaviors, specifically maladaptive behaviors, and current treatment plans/progress.
· Using knowledge gained in your study of psychology in general and/or your cognate in particular, provide a brief theoretical explanation of your case.
Using knowledge gained in your study of psychology in general and/or your cognate in particular, identify a treatment plan detailing how you would continue to work with this case. (This treatment plan may be hypothetical.)
The paper must fulfil the following criteria:
· 3–4 pages
· Current APA format
· This document must maintain the strictest level of confidentiality.
Refer to the provided Case Study 1 Grading Rubric for specific grading criteria.
PAPER ASSIGNMENT
CHANGING BEHAVIOR
Behavioral psychologists have repeatedly demonstrated that most people can modify their
own behavior through the application of operant principles. The text authors delineate
some of the mechanisms involved in self control, such as self reinforcement and stimulus
control. The following exercise, outlines steps (suggested by Anthony Grasha), that will
allow you to experience directly the often, powerful effects of behavior change and
modification. You will be designing a program for yourself in order to change a behavior
that you would like to either increase, decrease or eliminate entirely.
1.
Identify a habit or behavior that you would like to
change
, either by decreasing it or
increasing it.
It could be a habit you want to eliminate like smoking, or a behavior
you want to increase, like studying more. Set a very specific goal to change that is
observable and measurable
.
a.
Don’t say “I want to get more exercise”; it’s too vague. You will need to
operationally define
“more exercise” and set a goal that is measurable and
observable; such as: “ I need to start jogging one mile every day”.
b.
Don’t say: “ I need to lose weight”; say “ I need to lose 10 pounds in 8 weeks.
c.
” Don’t say: “I need to cut back on my smoking”, say: “ I need to cut my
cigarette smoking from one pack a day to half a pack a day for three
consecutive months”;
d.
Don’t say: “I need to spend more time studying”, state “ I need to study at
least 1 hour a day, 5 times a week”.
2.
Measure your Baseline
– How often do you currently engage in the behavior or habit
you want to change? In other words, if you are trying to cut back or quit smoking
how many cigarettes are you smoking per day now, before you start on a change
program?
3.
Analyze your “triggers”
or environments that make your habitual behavior more
likely to occur
.
In other words:
a.
What
settings, people, or times of day or week trigger or stimulate your bad
habit or behavior to occur? (e.g. smoking, eating or drinking too much);
Or,
b.
What setting, people or times of day or week tend to prevent you from
engaging in the behavior or habit you want to increase? (e.g. studying or
exercising more).
c.
Also look if you have paired or associated two stimuli (e.g. the smell of coffee
triggers your cigarette craving).
4.
After analyzing these triggers, describe how you would avoid them or change them.
In other words, how would you control your environment so as to optimize your
success? How will you gain control over the settings that either trigger the bad
habits or prevent you from building good habits. Some people may smoke while
drinking coffee, so giving up coffee may help in changing the target behavior.
5.
Identify how you could use
classical conditioning
to change your behavior (eg. Pair a
noxious stimulus with a bad habit, or a pleasant sound or smell with a good habit
you want to build).
6.
Identify
operant conditioning
techniques such as:

6.
Identify
operant conditioning
techniques such as:
a.
positive reinforcers or rewards for yourself (e.g. reading a favorite magazine,
telephoning a friend, taking a hot bath)
b.
Identify any possible negative reinforcers, such as avoiding something
unpleasant (eg. Avoiding a bad grade or health problems). Select one or
more rewards that are likely to influence the behavior you want to change
and will motivate you.
c.
Can you think of any
mild
aversives or punishment for yourself?
7.
Identify how you would use
observational learning or modeling
to change your
behavior:
a.
What models can you select that you can observe, learn from or imitate to
some degree?
b.
Describe the kind of social support you would enlist. Modifying behavior can
be difficult and so it often helps to have a support group or someone to talk
to who can keep you honest and committed to your plan and possibly
motivate you and help you meet your goals. For example, if you are starting a
new workout plan have a friend join you if possible or find a workout
partner.
8.
Evaluate your results:
a.
Describe how you will monitor and record your progress toward changing
the behavior. Draw a chart that demonstrates what you will be recording.
b.
For a short time, try your proposed plan on yourself to test it. Of all the
possible techniques you have described in your plan which one do you think
will be most effective?
c.
Describe any success or failure. What would you attribute them to and how
would you change the plan for the future?

Unit 7 Discussion 1
Evidence-Based Approaches and Co-occurring Disorders
Read the Discussion Participation Scoring Guide to learn how the instructor will evaluate your discussion participation throughout this course.
The assigned reading by Burnett, Porter, and Stallings (2011) emphasizes the advantages of an integrated treatment approach for co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis). Discuss the advantages of integrating treatment compared to treating each disorder separately. What are some of the barriers to implementing an integrated approach and how can they be addressed?
Response Guidelines
Respond to the main discussion posts of two learners. What reactions do you have to the ideas they have presented? Include examples from the course readings or your own experience to support your perspective, and raise questions to continue the dialogue.
