How might intelligence and moral development be related?

/in /by

Discussion 1:

 

Theories of Intelligence, Moral Development, and the Strengths Perspective

Your ability to process information and apply it in other contexts represents one aspect of cognitive development. Theories of intelligence focus on the development of an individual’s ability to engage in abstract mental processes for the purposes of making sense of the environment (problem solving). Intelligence also involves psychological and moral development, in addition to physical maturation. Part of making sense of the environment and responding to it relates to an understanding of societal norms. Moral development represents an individual’s understanding of acceptable social human behavior. How might intelligence and moral development be related? As a social worker in support of the strengths perspective, understanding the development of your clients’ intelligence and morality can help to identify their strengths in order to encourage empowering behaviors.

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Select a theory of intelligence. Then, consider how intelligence might relate to moral development, referencing the theories from the readings. Finally, think about how you might view the theory you selected from a strengths perspective and what the potential implications of this theory might be for social workers who need to assess the intelligence of clients.

 

•Post an explanation of how you think intelligence relates to moral development, referencing theories from this week’s resources.

 

•Then describe the theory of intelligence you selected and explain how you might view it using a strengths perspective.

 

•Finally, explain the potential implications of this theory for social workers who need to assess the intelligence of clients.

Discussion 2:

 

The Use of Stimulants in the Treatment ADHD

 

Stimulant medications have been used since the mid-1900s to treat ADHD. More recently, medical professionals recognize a degree of complicity in the development of addiction in many of their clients with ADHD in connection with the use of stimulant treatment medications such as dextroamphetamine, levoamphetamine, and methylphenidate. As members of medical treatment teams, mental health professionals recognize their responsibility to treat current clients who have developed this comorbid condition as well as to work to prevent future problems of addiction that might arise from use of stimulant treatment. Clients deserve encompassing, accurate information in order to sort through potentially mixed messages from medical professionals, school personnel, family members, and others. Mental health professionals can provide or point to educational materials to help clients make informed choices, provide information about alternatives based on sound research, and help monitor for misuse of potentially addictive medications (Preston, O’Neal, & Talaga, 2017).

For this Discussion, review the media titled“Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Counseling Session” and consider the medications a psychiatrist might prescribe to treat ADHD. Conduct an Internet search or a Walden Library search for at least one peer-reviewed journal article that addresses issues related to the use of stimulants for the treatment of ADHD as it relates to the client in the media program.

 

Post a brief description of the client’s current presentation in the media program.

 

•Choose a medication that a psychiatrist might prescribe to treat ADHD and explain in detail the major action, intended effects, neurotransmitters implicated in its use, and side effects.

 

•Explain why you think this medication might be the most effective for treatment. Explain how you might address any issues related to the use of stimulants for the treatment of ADHD.

 

•Justify your choice based on the client’s presentation and support your position with the Learning Resources and your journal article.

 

•Explain an alternative approach to treating ADHD.

What do you think the relation is between over-viewing of idealized and unrealistic media portrayals and depressive symptoms?  

/in /by

Discussion: Media, Technology, Peer Pressure, Violence, and Current Events

In your post, consider how a potential media stronghold over children and adolescents could lead to depressive symptoms.
For example, think about the media and its obsession with thinness, and particularly how this impacts female adolescents and the young-adult population. What do you think the relation is between over-viewing of idealized and unrealistic media portrayals and depressive symptoms?
Explain how rapidly depressive symptoms can lead to troublesome behaviors in direct correlation to media influence. Also reference co-morbid disorders that could potentially develop, such as eating disorders. Please research at least one real-world example to support your claims.

what might the forensic professional add to an understanding of the case beyond what is generally known by laypeople?

/in /by

Assignment 3: Civil Litigation and Personal Injury Assessment

A forensic assessment may serve a number of purposes in both criminal and civil contexts. In the context of civil litigation, a forensic mental health professional may be called to provide an assessment in a personal injury case. For example, the professional may be asked to identify whether a traumatic disability or syndrome exists and, if so, to determine the severity and impact on an individual’s functional abilities. Personal injury litigation expands over several areas.

Using resources from the professional literature, research two types of reports written for civil litigation purposes. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and scholarly websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions.

Based on your research, create a 3- to 4-page paper in a Microsoft Word document responding to the following:

  • Discuss at least two ways in which a forensic assessment may be required in each type of civil forensic case.
  • Identify the specific psycholegal issues to be addressed in each type of evaluation.
  • Discuss the role of the independent medical examiner or independent forensic psychologist.
  • Discuss several key elements that the forensic mental health professional would want to include in the report.
  • Identify the legal entity or stakeholder (e.g., defense attorney) who might request each type of assessment report and explain the potential reasons for the requests. In other words, what might the forensic professional add to an understanding of the case beyond what is generally known by laypeople?
  • Describe the assessments that are utilized to write the reports.
  • Identify the limitations of the reports.

As a social worker, how might a better understanding of the developmental experiences of LGBT individuals allow you to help them develop or maintain a strong and positive sense of self? 

/in /by

Assignment 1: Journal Review – LGBT Populations

 

While sexual identity is a very personal aspect of an individual’s life, it also includes social and public aspects as well. It is social in that you generally include your significant other as a participant in social circles with your family, friends, and colleagues. Sexual identity is public in that, during the course of day-to-day life, you present yourself and your significant other to society as a couple or as part of a family unit. These social and public aspects make sexual identity development a unique process for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) individuals. This process is captured in life-span development as the six stages of coming out. In terms of cognitive, life-span, and moral development, how might theories of development explain the experiences of individuals who might not identify with their social environment in terms of sexuality? As a social worker, how might a better understanding of the developmental experiences of LGBT individuals allow you to help them develop or maintain a strong and positive sense of self?

 

For this assignment, search the Walden Library for an article(s) that addresses theories related to cognitive, lifespan, and moral development for one of the following populations:

oLesbian

oGay

oBisexual

oTransgender

 

Then think about the potential external and internal developmental or moral struggles facing the population you selected. Finally, reflect on how your thoughts, biases, and/or experiences might influence your reactions to the article(s) you selected.

 

Assignment (2- to 4-page APA-formatted paper):

Your paper should include:

oAn explanation of the population you selected

oAn analysis of the article in terms of theories related to cognitive, lifespan, and moral development for that population.

oAn explanation of the developmental or moral challenges facing that population

oAn explanation of how your own thoughts, biases, and/or experiences influence your reaction to the article and population-based research.

Assignment 2: Addressing Ethical Implications in the Treatment of ADHD

 

Generally, mental health professionals attempt to empower clients to care for their own problems by supporting client agency. However, in some cases clients may be stifled in their efforts to self-advocate. In other instances, clients may make dangerous, potentially lethal decisions out of misinformation or attempts to get high. Mental health professionals should be prepared to identify warning signs that might indicate a need to protect a client beyond asking that she or he take the necessary steps.

For this Assignment, review the ADHD case study of “Junior” in the Learning Resources. Consider the ethical implications of the client’s presentation as well as the role of the mental health professional in treating this client. Plan steps to begin treatment of this client’s condition.

In a 2- to 3-page, APA-formatted paper, include the following:

oAn explanation of what may be occurring in this case.

oAn explanation of the psychopharmacological interventions a mental health professional might recommend to treat this client and why these interventions might be necessary.

oAddress ethical implications that may be present in the client’s presentation

oAddress larger ethical implications of medical treatment of ADHD by the mental health professional

Support your explanations with scholarly evidence and information from the DSM-5.
