Clinical Psychology Unit 9 Discussion Board

Family Therapy Case Study

For this discussion, watch the video: Family Therapy Case Study. Use the information in the scenario to answer the following questions:

  • Which approach to family therapy would be ideal for this family (e.g., structural, solution-focused, Bowenian)? Explain your thoughts and support your choices with aspects of the text or other scholarly sources.
  • Is family therapy preferable to other options, such as individual therapy for Leo or parent training for Inez and Joseph? Explain your thoughts and support your choices with aspects of the text or other scholarly sources.
  • What would be the most valid measure of psychotherapy outcome for this case? Explain your thoughts and support your choices with aspects of the text or other scholarly sources.

Reading and Resources

Please read the following chapters in your text:

  • Chapter 16: “Group and Family Therapy”

Chapter 16 covers both group therapy and family therapy. For group therapy, you will learn about theory, practical, and ethical issues, as well as outcome issues. For family therapy, you will learn about systems theory and perspective as well as methods of assessment of families. You will read about essential concepts, ethics, and outcome issues.

Practice the concepts covered in this unit by completing the Unit 9 Key Terms Activity.

Web Resources

Read the following articles:

The first and second articles address the question of how treatment of addiction problems is different from other kinds of psychotherapy. This article is a “teaser,” a brief overview of the issues and concepts. However, it is the overview of an online book on addiction treatment. Therefore, for those of you who plan to enter the field of addiction treatment, save this link, as this book can serve as a valuable resource in the future.

For the third article, you will read about the state of knowledge on best approaches when multiple issues affect the client. Often times, clients have multiple problems. They may have medical diagnoses including brain injury or brain illness. They may have chemical dependency as well as psychological disorders. For these individuals, the treatment becomes much more complex.

Journal Articles

Please review the Library Guide for a list of articles to read for this unit. These have been selected taken from various academic journals, all of which can be found in the Purdue Global Library. Though they are not required to complete the coursework for this unit, they will be helpful for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of clinical psychology.

Mini-Research Proposal

When evaluating research, it is important to consider gaps that exist in the current knowledge base. Reflecting on the research that you did for your Annotated Bibliography last week, think of an area in the research that seems to be lacking or in which there is a controversy. You will do this by first coming up with an appropriate applied social psychology research question. Review the
Writing a Good Research Question (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. web page, which explains how to formulate a research question and provides examples of research questions. Then, you will create a short presentation (either a screencast or PowerPoint recording) in which you will propose your idea for a study or an experiment to try and answer your research question.

Your research proposal presentation must include the following:

  • Your clearly stated research question
  • Your hypothesis
  • An explanation as to why this topic of research is important/necessary
  • Scientific support for your hypothesis (drawn from annotated bibliography)
  • An explanation of the research design (experimental or non-experimental)
  • A description of the procedure that explains
    • How many participants you will need
    • What participants will do to complete the study
    • What results you expect to find

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers. In your responses, ask your fellow classmates some follow-up questions or provide suggestions. You may want to ask your classmates to clarify some things, identify some potential issues they may want to consider, and provide them with some suggestions for the study. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. MST on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Spirituality, week 5 discussion 6 help

Please do a paragraph about this post with this instruction . 

post most have  4 or more  sentences .

 you also have to have a high quality post from a content perspective. This means it also needs to do more than agree with or praise a class mate. If you agree with a classmate, explain why, give an example, share what you learned in the readings

I think spirituality is overlooked during at a disaster as it it may be difficult to know where it “fits” or how the person(s) on the receiving end will perceive it. In my own community where I have been since 1983, working as a nurse & living as a resident, we have had earthquakes & fires, some small, some larger. The fires have consumed home & land and both have taken lives. I only left my home once & that was by choice, my oldest son was 6 at the time & very distraught at being able to see the fire (Highway 41 Fire) on the mountain (though it was quite far away) from his bedroom window.  You do not quickly forget the sites, scents or feeling of doom an impending disaster brings. Especially for children & I suspect elderly. I think each & every individual deals with it & responds in their own way, with some degree of spiritually, be known or not. Some turn to God, others question his existence. 

Some individual symptons of spiritual disease that may be exhibited during a disaster include; reconsideration of core religious beliefs, asking questions like “why did God do this?, questioning justice & meaning, feeling far from previously held beliefs, feeling a need to be cleansed, closing oneself off from loved ones, feelings of despair or lonliness or guilt, wondering about life & death or feeling shame. Everyone is different, so may think or feel some of these, or none.  It is very personal.

I experienced that disaster brought my community together. Families opened up their homes to others, ranchers boarded horses & cattle needing boarding, farmers opened their doors & land to other animals & stored machinery for safe keeping, businesses donated, restaurants cooked for the volunteers & workers & clergy men offered their services.  The list went on & on. Was this a normal response? Maybe not, but it worked, more than once. Perhaps not appropriate care for all invloved & were the spiritual needs met? I am not sure. I do think everyone tried their best.

Some basic standards & principles of disaster spiritual care includes; offer presence & hospitality, meet & accept & respect persons exactly as they are and DO NOT HARM- never evangelize or proselytize or exploit persons in vulerable need.

Spiritual care can include anything that assists a person, family or community trying to find their spiritual perspective as a source of strength, hope or healing. Anything that will help to cope with the crisis.

As healthcare providers (& clergy), I think the spiritual issues exist for quite some time after a disaster. The caring nature has them (us) taking care of others 1st. But, healthcare providers (& clergy) do need to take the time for themselves and address spiritual needs. Along the way there should be, end of shift de-briefing’s as well as accessibility to counseling. It is a very stressful time, both physically & mentally. 

Spiritual health tips for healthcare workers include; maintain a well balanced healthy diet, get some form of exercise, meditate or pray, talk to others to “vent” & let them know how you feel, it’s okay to have a “meltdown”, get enough sleep and don’t minimize your experience (Light Our Way, 2006).

A Community Health Nurse knows that spirituality is part of holistic care. He or she can assist anyone in their family, community or workplace with something as simple as a gesture of reaching out to someone you think is suffering. Be kind, treat respectfully & with dignity. Take the time to talk about concerns, fears & beliefs (Glock, 2011). It might put someone back on the right path. A little reassurance goes a long way. As for yourself, I am a true believer of a girls (or guys) night out with co-workers. It helps, it really does. We need to take care of ourselves in order to take care of others.

Hypothetical Client Scenario, assignment help

Client Scenario: Marek

Marek is a 22-year-old male, Caucasian non-Hispanic male who is in residential treatment in your agency for a polysubstance use disorder. He began using alcohol when he was in high school and then experimented with ecstasy and marijuana. Once he graduated, he went to college and quickly dropped out after his first semester. He was arrested for underage drinking and possession of cocaine. His drug screen at admittance to the program was positive for cocaine and marijuana. He has never been diagnosed with a mental health disorder or serious medical condition. However, he has not seen a medical doctor in years. When examined by the agency’s doctors, he was found to be in good physical health despite being somewhat underweight.

Assignment Script 

This is been so hard, you know. In high school, I was the man – you know, the one
everyone was afraid of and looked up to at the same time. I loved it. I would walk down
the halls and everyone just knew, you know, not to mess with me. But, then, I guess I
got bored with school and all that stuff. I started hanging out with a bunch of guys who
were trouble – you know, no good. I still did my classwork and went to class most of the
time, but, I began to spend more time with them. By the time I graduated high school, I
was probably drinking every day and smoking weed on the weekend. I even started
doing “E” (you know, ecstasy), but not every weekend.
Okay, so then, I went to college. That didn’t last very long though. I got busted at a party
for drinking and possession of cocaine. I know that it was wrong, but I was so mad!
Like, EVERYONE had something at that party, but they only took a couple of us in. My
probation officer and judge are making me come to treatment here, so, you know, here I
am. Before I was arrested, I was drinking about a half case of beer a day and smoking
crack most days. For me, it was better to get some crack and smoke it till it was gone,
but I did some crazy stuff to get it. I even considered prostituting to get money, but then
this guy hired me to deliver his drugs for him. It was cool, I was making a lot of money
and hardly doing anything for it — until I got busted!
When I was younger, my dad was killed in a car accident. I think he was drunk or
something; no one would say. My mom had to work hard to take care of my brother and
me. He’s younger than me. I had to start working to help my mom and to save for
community college. It was hard on me. I think worst of all, teachers were always calling
my mom. They told her that I was difficult in class. When I was young, I used to get up
and walk around a lot, like I couldn’t stop moving. Then, when I got older, I just couldn’t
concentrate on anything. I think that’s why I like smoking weed so much; it slows down
my thinking. But now, the stupid counselor here said that I can’t smoke weed anymore. I
don’t know how I’m going to think or do anything, really.
I guess the only thing that I do well is math. I was, like, a whiz in school. My math
teachers hated me ‘cause I skipped all the time, BUT, I got all of the questions right on
their tests. Whatever. Anyway, when I get outta here, I want to go back to college. I
think that I can do it if I’m clean.

Internet Security and Privacy

Internet Security and Privacy

Internet security is often in the news. The Carnegie Council identifies it as a risk that “require[s] organizations to make ‘fundamental ethical choices’ when doing business globally” (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell, 2013, p. 289). Review the material on internet security in Chapter Ten and answer the following:

1) Research a recent incident related to internet security and privacy that has a global or international component. Describe the incident, identify the ethical issues involved, and propose a solution (this doesn’t have to be technical solution). Try to avoid politics unless there is also a clear link to business ethics.

Hint: Go to the Bethel library website (http://bethelu.libguides.com/cps). Select “opposing viewpoints in context,” and search for “cybersecurity.” Select “news” and sort the results by date.

This question needs to be answered with at least 250 words with references and intext citations. I have included the book, and you can include at least 1 outside sources. Please make sure you include the book Ferrell, O. C., Fraedrich, J., & Ferrell, L. (2013). Business ethics: Ethical decision making and cases [9th edition]. Mason, OH: Cengage Learning. I am here if you have questions. This question will probably benefit from outside sources. Thank you in advance.

You will create a communication strategy that fosters change and innovation in an organization

For this assignment, you will create a communication strategy that fosters change and innovation in an organization.
Explain the context in which it occurs and the options that are available. Develop a solution that will solve the
organizational issue and meet the needs of the people involved.

Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI and Unit VII assignments. You are not limited to this
organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched it for Unit VI and/or Unit
VII. You can use the same sources for all assignments, if applicable.

In the report, you will provide a potential audience analysis, create a purposeful message, and discuss a type of channel
that you could use for feedback. Include answers to Neal’s (2010) communication questions, which are listed below:

  1. What am I trying to achieve?
  2. How will my audience react to what I am trying to achieve?
  3. Will my message be resisted?
  4. What do I know about my audience that will help me tailor my message? (p. 40)

Do not include the question/answers in a bullet or list format. Instead, integrate the responses in your paragraphs.

Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). Include at least two academic sources. APA
format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length. Content, organization, and
grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.
