/in /by

answers must be your own words. When I ask for examples, you must create your own examples. Examples from the internet, textbook, class activities, study guides, other students, etc. are not acceptable. Do not use direct quotes in any of your answers. Please make sure to fully answer each question to receive full points. As a guideline, I expect 10 point questions to take at least 1 paragraph (8-10 sentences) to answer the question fully. I want you to answer the question concisely, focusing only on relevant information. Be clear, precise, and thorough in your answers. Do NOT search the internet for answers!!! The point of this exam is to demonstrate your own thinking about the topics you have learned thus far in the course. How well you do on this exam is based on the level of thought and detail evident in your responses.

 

 


Read the following transcript of an interview with an actual client, Samantha. Then answer the questions that follow (questions 4a-4g).

 

ASSESSMENT INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT

Assessment Clinician: What types of things do you worry about?

 

Samantha: I worry about tons of things. Um, well, I mean I worry about the general things that I think people worry about… like… you know… like… well, maybe that’s not true. Um, I guess the future… I’m big in the future – I’m not a really “present” person much… something I try to work on. Um, I always worry about the future – how I’m doing, how far I’m getting in life – if I’m succeeding.

 

Um, and then there’s worrying about… well not worry, but I have a lot of work, or am I going to get my school work done on time, or maybe financially like am I okay financially, like those kinds of thing.

 

Assessment Clinician: What does it feel like when your anxiety takes over?

 

Samantha: Sometimes I just feel like I get foggy… like really foggy. Uh, like today I was working at the clinic, shadowing for the first time, and I hit a point when I was like… you know, for me, I like to think biologically, like, maybe I’m low blood sugar. I didn’t feel like eating this morning, probably because I was nervous, you know, so maybe my not eating was kicking in. But then, um, then I couldn’t concentrate.

 

And then, I kind of freeze for a second, and I’m thinking “If I have to fill out this form – and there’s like, so many forms – I don’t know if I can fill it out.” And then all of a sudden… it’s like I can’t see as well. I’m going to zone out. At the wall! I’m going to not look into space per se, but it’s like I literally can’t even focus in with my eyes. My vision is fine – I mean I wear contacts, but it’s not an actual vision problem. And then, to follow it, I get a tiredness… you know? Like… yeah, tired? But then, trying to figure out how to rev it up, try to clear up. It’s like if you were waking up from anesthesia I guess or something… like you’ve been drugged I guess! I guess! I don’t know! And then I can’t … I want to be clear – I want to be clear minded, but I can’t. I mean I guess I… um… feel confused, lost, and scared. And then… like I don’t know why I feel this way.

 

And there’s times when I’m, like foggy, or I’m tired or whatever, where… I could just drink coffee. I could just drink shots of espresso and I wouldn’t wake up, it just wouldn’t happen. And maybe my body would start pounding and my heart would start racing, but my brain, like, won’t go… I can’t rev it up but like… my body is really revved up. Um, and like… I have these thoughts running through my head, um… like… I want to get out of my skin, but I can’t, um… like I’m stuck. Yeah, and… like I was so revved up in my body that I couldn’t sleep for three days straight and, um,…wasn’t eating and like couldn’t really focusing on anything.

 

Assessment Clinician: When did these issues begin with you?

 

Samantha: My parents said I was always worried and nervous– since birth! So, I always … I was … always curious about what was going on near me. I had a real desire to learn how to read because I wanted to be able to read notes that people wrote people. And I wanted to know what was going on. I was really afraid to not know what was going on. And that was around the time when my parents got divorced, so I had a lot of anxiety then and I tried … you know, I’m the oldest, so I tried to … watch out for my brothers. My dad was really depressed about it and I had to see him go through that and so, I was constantly trying to keep tabs on everything, you know? Make sure everyone was feeling fine all the time. That kind of thing.

 

Assessment Clinician: When did you first know that your worry and anxiety were a problem?

 

Samantha: Well when, puberty hit, you know. And I think that’s when anxiety came on even stronger. Um, I would say like, up until 6th grade, I think I worried a lot more than most kids, but I wouldn’t say that I felt that first true impact of an anxiety attack. Um, and I would think that first attack came right when puberty really hit. And… I think that’s when I started to feel like this kind of fear. Also guilt, guilt comes up in it a lot … which is weird… you know, I don’t really know what I’m feeling guilty about… but it’s like guilt mixed with fear.

Many of the mental disorders you have learned about so far in class share similar features and symptoms or are different variations of the same symptoms. This creates one of the most common, yet difficult, challenges in clinical psychology—differential diagnosis. Differential diagnosis requires doctors to determine from which disorder the patient is suffering by considering and ruling out other disorders that have similar features and symptoms. This requires understanding the many subtle similarities and differences among disorders.

 

Engage in differential diagnosis for the patient, Samantha, based on the brief interview transcript presented above. Answer the following questions in the process of your differential diagnosis. The following 7 questions are worth a total of 20 points. See individual point values for each question below.

 

Question 4a (worth 3 points):

Which symptoms are suggestive of a mental health disorder?

 

Question 4b (worth 1 point):

What disorders are you considering as possible explanations for her symptoms?

 

Question 4c (worth 7 points):

Compare and contrast the symptoms and risk factors of at least three disorders/conditions that might explain Samantha’s symptoms.

 

Question 4d (worth 1 point):

What is your provisional diagnosis for Samantha?

 

Question 4e (worth 2 points):

How did you rule out other diagnoses you were considering?

 

Question 4f (worth 1 point):

What treatment would you provide Samantha based on her diagnosis?

 

Question 4g (worth 5 points):

Why did you choose that specific type of treatment? Be sure to link the type of treatment you chose to the specific information you have about Samantha and her symptoms.

Rubric for Unit 6 Assignment

  MM570 Unit 6 Assignment Grading Rubric
Point Possible Grading Criteria
A: 153 – 170 points Student work demonstrates mastery of the objectives assessed by the Assignment. This is evidenced by at least the following:

 

·         The selection of the statistical procedure(s) is/are the most appropriate ones for answering the questions; specifically, the correct t-test is selected for each question.

·         The statistical procedure was calculated correctly using SPSS.

·         The interpretation of the SPSS output is correct and complete, including applying the Sig. (2-tailed) p-value to determine null hypothesis rejection.

·         The results of the statistical analyses are presented in easy to understand, non-statistical language that addresses the research question.

·         SPSS output that is not needed in the solution is not included. Only appropriate SPSS output are included.

·         Each step of the hypothesis testing procedure is included, including the statement of the hypothesis, inclusion of the null and alternative hypothesis Ho and Ha, results from the hypothesis t-test, and complete clearly written conclusions.

 

Your Name:

 

 

 

 

For this Project, you will use the “Statistics Class” dataset called Stat_Grades.sav, which can be found in the Doc Sharing area under the Graded Projects category. This same “Statistics Class” dataset is used for all the class projects. The Stat_Grades.sav dataset contains data collected about students in three sections of a statistics class taught by an instructor. You will also use SPSS for this project.

HINTS AND HELP

 

Note: When asked to include the interpretation of the results and final conclusions, be sure to include all results, an interpretation of the meaning of the results, and final conclusions that a common person can understand. Make sure you use complete sentences, paragraph form (single spacing), proper grammar, and correct spelling. Minimal or incomplete responses can lose points. Include any SPSS results that you use, but do not include SPSS results that are not part of your solution.

 

Hint: You are asked to determine “appropriate” tests and methods, and to make calculations. This means that you will have to determine which tests or methods are best and why.

 

Rememberto always show all of your work and each of your steps.

For each hypothesis testing question, follow the appropriate steps.

1) Write the hypothesis

2) Construct the Ho and Ha clearly and appropriately. Note the means you are comparing.

3) Run the appropriate SPSS test and include the appropriate results

4) Explain and evaluate the SPSS results

5) Write a complete and paragraph form conclusion that can be understood by a normal non-statistical person.

 

Use the Live Binder for further assistance. There is a link to the Live Binder under every Unit.

 

Place all answers, work, and graphs in this document.

Use alpha = .05 for all hypothesis testing questions.

** Please use non-directional two-tailed tests for these questions (not one-tailed tests).

 

1. Recall that the dataset, Stat_grades.sav, contains data for a sample of 105 statistics students. One of the variables in this dataset is called, gender. This variable is either “1” for “Female”, or “2” for “Male”. The Instructor is wondering if gender affects student performance as measured using Final Course Percentage (called Percent) . Using the appropriate statistical test, methods, and evaluations, determine if Gender made a significant difference in Final Exam Points. Be sure to include each step of the process, any SPSS results used, an interpretation of the results, and the final conclusions.

 

(a) What is the hypothesis being tested here?

 

 

 

(b) What are Ho and Ha?

 

 

 

(c) What is the name of the test you will run? Run the appropriate SPSS test and include the SPSS output here.

 

 

 

 

(d) What are the results of the test? What is the p-value and is it larger or smaller than the alpha value – show your work and explain the result.

 

 

 

 

(e) Write a conclusion for the above in plain English so that any person could understand. What can you say about gender and its effect on overall performance?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Based on many years of past classes and experience, the Instructor for the students in the Stat_Grades.sav dataset has determined that a successfulmean value for the Quiz 5 is 8.5 points. Does the Quiz 5 for the students in Stat_Grades.sav differ significantly from the known success value of 8.5 points? Use and include the appropriate statistical test, methods, and evaluations. Be sure to include each step of the process, any SPSS results used, an interpretation of the results, and final conclusions.

 

 

 

(a) What is the hypothesis being tested here?

 

 

 

(b) What are Ho and Ha?

 

 

 

(c) What is the name of the test you will run? Run the appropriate SPSS test and include the SPSS output here.

 

 

 

(d) What are the results of the test? What is the p-value? Compare the p value to alpha and note the result.

 

 

 

(e) Explain the conclusion in plain English so that any person could understand. Did the students in Stat_Grades.sav do significantly differently than the given population mean? How did they do and what did you find. Explain.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Using the Stat_Grades.sav dataset, compare Quiz 4 and Quiz 5 and determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the average student performance between these two quizzes. Use and include the appropriate statistical test, methods, and evaluations.

When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it?

/in /by

When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? This assignment asks you to apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario. You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach. As Voltaire said, “No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”

Choose one (1) of the problem scenarios as a topic choice for your paper (Note: Your professor must approve your topic choice before you begin work on the assignment.)

Scenario 1: You have worked at your company for eleven (11) years. You have returned to college to earn a Bachelor’s degree in order to increase your chances for a promotion. You are nearly finished with your degree, when a supervisor’s position in a competing company becomes available in another state. The start date is in two (2) weeks, during your final exam period for your courses. The position offers a $15,000 per year salary increase, a car allowance, and relocation expenses. Your former supervisor works for the company and is recommending you for the position based on your outstanding job performance; if you want the job, it’s yours. All of the other supervisors at this level in the company have Master’s degrees, so you know that you would be expected to earn your Bachelor’s degree and continue on to a Master’s degree. Your present company offers tuition reimbursement, but the new company does not.

Scenario 2: Your child comes home from school with an assignment sheet for a school project. He / she is very excited about the project and begins work immediately, doing research on the Internet and gathering materials. You read over the assignment sheet and notice that your child is not including all of the required items in the project, and you have some ideas for how to improve the quality of the presentation. You recently read an article in a parenting magazine about the importance of a child developing responsibility for his/ her own learning. You recall the many ways in which your parents took over your school projects. You, on the other hand, want to encourage your child’s confidence in his / her ability to complete a project independently. The next day, you are at the grocery store when you see a parent of a student in your child’s class. That parent has spent over $30 in supplies for the science project and is taking a day off of work to put the pieces of the project together.

Scenario 3: You have two jobs—one during the week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and one on Saturday from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm. You are taking two classes—one that meets from 6:00 to 10:00 pm, and one class online. You have two kids—one who plays soccer, and one who is in band. You have two elderly parents who no longer drive. You have two siblings—one who lives two (2) miles away, and one who lives in another state. You have two (2) papers due in your classes the same week that one (1) of your children has a soccer tournament, and the other child has a band concert. You are coaching the soccer team, and you are in charge of fundraising for the band. You have a goal to complete your degree in two (2) years. Your doctor tells you that your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and your weight are too high and recommends several medications that cost you nearly $200 per month after your insurance co-pay.

Scenario 4: You are a sales representative for a company that encourages staff to log time in the field and away from the office. You are expected to begin and end your day at the office. You notice that each day when you arrive and return another co-worker is already there, and you wonder whether this person spends most of his / her time at the office. At your weekly sales meeting, you are informed of your co-workers’ outstanding sales performance. You suspect that this co-worker is spending more time flattering the boss instead of working leads in the field, and as a result is getting the best client referrals. Your own sales numbers have steadily decreased since this other sales representative was hired.

Scenario 5: Professor’s Choice – problem scenario presented by your professor.

Scenario 6: Student’s Choice – Problem scenario presented by you.

Review the six-step problem solving process outlined in the webtext, based on the article “The Problem Solving Process” located at http://www.gdrc.org/decision/problem-solve.html:

·         Step One: Define the problem

·         Step Two: Analyze the problem

·         Step Three: Generate options

·         Step Four: Evaluate options

·         Step Five: Make your decision

·         Step Six: Implement and reflect

Write a four (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Define the problem in the scenario that you have chosen.

2. Analyze the problem in the scenario.

3. Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.

4. Evaluate the options for solving the problem.

5. Decide on the best option for solving the problem.

6. Explain how you will implement the decision made and reflect on whether this option was the most effective.

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

·         Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.

·         Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.

·         Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

·         Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

·         Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

How did the practitioner-scholar model help clarify and strengthen your vision of your future in the field, and your professional goals?

/in /by

PSYCHOLOGY PRACTITIONER-SCHOLARS

Resources

  • Attributes and Evaluation of Discussion Contributions.
  • Professional Communications and Writing Guide.
  • Graduate Psychology Discussion Rubric.
  • Learning Model Worksheet [DOC].
  •  Scholar Practitioner Model.

As stated in the introduction, connecting scholarship and practice is critical for professionals in psychology. In one of the unit studies, you examined both the scholar-practitioner model, as presented in McClintock’s 2004 article, and Capella’s learning model, which is based on the ideas in that article. In Capella’s learning model, the master’s level degree program is described as practitioner-scholar, to distinguish it from the doctoral degree program, which is described as scholar-practitioner.

This discussion will provide you with an opportunity to enhance and deepen your understanding of the scholar-practitioner model in general and the practitioner-scholar expectations at Capella in particular. At the same time, it will enable you to get valuable feedback from your peers on your vision statement and action plan. Your thinking and exchanges in this discussion will support your success in the assignment that you will submit in the next unit.

In your initial post:

  • Compare McClintock’s scholar-practitioner model and Capella’s scholar-practitioner learning model. You probably notice that only Capella uses the term practitioner-scholar. What aspects of McClintock’s model supports Capella’s learning model?
  • Describe the role of a practitioner-scholar within the field of psychology.
  • Discuss how the role of a practitioner-scholar will influence you to become a wise consumer of research and theory.
  • Summarize your vision of a career in psychology and your main SMART goals. How did the practitioner-scholar model help clarify and strengthen your vision of your future in the field, and your professional goals?
  • Explain how this model might apply to your studies as a graduate learner in psychology at Capella.

If you had any trouble understanding the scholar-practitioner model or its application in the field of psychology, use this discussion to receive support from your peers and instructor to work through your challenges.

Be sure to integrate both the McClintock article and the Capella practitioner-scholar guide into your discussion post. Use the following APA reference:

  • Capella University. (2003). Capella University’s scholar-practitioner educational philosophy[White paper].
  • McClintock, C. (2004). Scholar practitioner model. In A. DiStefano, K. E. Rudestam, & R. J. Silverman (Eds.), Encyclopedia of distributed learning (pp. 394–397). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE.

Response Guidelines

Read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two. Try to choose the posts that have had the fewest responses thus far.

  • What can you add to clarify your peers’ understanding?
  • What strategies can you suggest to help them connect this model to their vision and goals for their future careers?
  • Do their goals meet the criteria of being specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART)?
  • Can you think of any way they could be improved to better meet these criteria?

Be sure to provide substantive responses to help your peers build on their learning and reference any relevant assigned readings, additional resources, or professional literature to support your response.

what other risk management strategies should you take as a professional counselor to ensure ethical practice?

/in /by
  • Using current ethical and legal standards, specifically the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics (ACA, 2014) and legal requirements of your state,WHICH IS FLORIDA, develop an informed consent form that you could use in actual practice (either private or community based). Customize the form to work with an adult client who comes to you for assistance with suicidal ideation, a history of depression, and an extensive history of seeking professional counseling. Create your own form from scratch. Do not cut and paste an existing form or use one from another organization or that you found on the internet.
  • In addition to the form, summarize when during the counseling process you would use this form and the specific ethical and legal standards you addressed in the creation of the form. Clearly explain why you included each section or item in the document. Be sure to address multicultural and ethical considerations you need to consider when developing and using this form, collaboration with other professionals, and relevant laws in your state (e.g., mandated reporting laws for the state in which you practice).
  • Finally, discuss how this informed consent document fits into your personal model for ethical practice. In addition, what other risk management strategies should you take as a professional counselor to ensure ethical practice?

Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document and be approximately 3 pages in length (including the consent form). The informed consent should be approximately 2–3 pages. Your form and supplemental information should be organized in a clear, concise, and organized manner; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
