Discussion: Psychological Perspectives on Real-World Issues

What current issue has you wondering, “What do others think about this topic? Is there research that supports what people are saying about this topic? What are the experts recommending?” This week, you will examine how psychological science can inform a wide range of current issues beyond what you see in the popular media.

For this Discussion, you will select a current issue of interest and discuss which concepts of psychological science can help you further understand the issue.

To prepare:

Select a current issue (e.g., universal health care, gun control, the environment, HIV/AIDS prevention and control, overuse of social media, violent video games) in which you have interest. Then, think about which psychological concepts would be relevant to your issue. For example, if you are discussing violent video games, you might be interested in the relationship between exposure to the games and aggression, or you might want to look at how the brain responds to the rewarding feeling of playing the game. If you were discussing the impact of social media, relevant psychological concepts might include addiction, isolation, or depression. Find a scholarly journal article related to the topic. This article should be no more than 5 to 7 years old. Visit the http://www.psychologyandsociety.com/concepts.html web page for a list of some psychological concepts.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post your response to the following:

Briefly describe the issue you selected, and explain why you selected it. Next, explain which psychological concepts are most useful in understanding that issue. Using your selected scholarly article, explain how the psychological concepts were discussed in terms of your chosen issue. Also, describe how the author(s) of the article used psychological concepts to explain, or frame, your selected issue.

Assessing Addiction and Models of Addiction Treatment

/in /by

Discussion: Assessing Addiction and Models of Addiction Treatment
As a helping professional, identifying and applying appropriate assessment approaches to client treatment is essential to the treatments of addiction. After assessing clients with addiction problems, helping professionals must use and apply a treatment model to address the addiction. Identifying the right treatment model will be critical. The goal of any treatment program or approach is to stop abnormal, destructive addictive processes and replace them with healthy, constructive processes. There are many approaches available, but during the last 50 years, the Minnesota Model has dominated the field. It was the first formal approach to the treatment of any addiction and is now used to treat an array of chemical or behavioral addictions.

Although the Minnesota Model approach to treatment is still one of the most well-known and common treatment approaches, there are many other approaches found in the field. As a helping professional, you need to be acquainted with many treatment approaches as well as being familiar with trends in the assessment of addiction.

By Day 4
Post two assessment approaches for assessing an individual’s addiction and explain why they are effective. Next, explain one model to addiction treatment and explain why it may be effective in treating addiction. Support your response using the Resources and the current literature.

Option 1: In our readings this week there is an extensive discussion on educating children in their early childhood years. Based on what you know about Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, what type of early childhood education program would you want your child to attend? Why?

Option 2: A young man was sentenced to serve 10 years for selling a small amount of marijuana when he was 15 years old. He escaped from prison six months after his sentencing and moved to a different state. The authorities located him when he went to vote, 30 years later. He is a professional carpenter and a model citizen. Should he be sent back to prison to serve the remainder of his 9.5-year sentence? Why or why not? Is your answer to this question based in the preconventional, conventional or postconventional level of moral reasoning? Should the level of moral reasoning be based on the stage of development that the man was in when he escaped from prison, or when he was located by authorities? Explain.
