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 clients  presentation as well as the role of the mental health professional in  treating this client. Plan steps to begin treatment of this clients  condition.

By Day 7

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

  • An explanation of what may be occurring in this case.
  • An explanation of the psychopharmacological interventions a mental  health professional might recommend to treat this client and why these  interventions might be necessary.
  • Address ethical implications that may be present in the clients presentation
  • Address 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.

Write a comprehensive analysis of the case study method and the issues you analyzed. How did you address the managerial communication issues you learned over the past 5 weeks? What do you think are the most difficult communication situations that managers face, and how will your skills be useful in handling them? What skills do you need to develop to improve your managerial communication skills? How do you plan on acquiring these skills?

Activity for bullshit

/in /by

The purpose of this activity is for you explore how much bullshit you encounter. To do so, you will need to build a bullshit inventory (BSI) that captures all of the bullshit that you encounter over the duration of 10-14 days. The idea is to make note of each bit of bullshit that you see, read, or hear, and to record some information about it. This activity is open-ended and Id like you to be creative. You might consider tracking things like:

Bullshit that is forced upon you

Bullshit that is merely exposed to you

Bullshit that you produce yourself

Bullshit that you debunk or try to debunk

To complete this activity, youll have to determine and describe some key parameters such as:

Concept Definition: What constitutes bullshit in your mind? For example, does a deliberate lie count? Does the bullshitter have to be aware that he or she is bullshitting? And so forth.

Measurement Definition: How are you going to measure bullshit? Are all instances of it considered equal (e.g., 25-page white paper versus a 140 character tweet)? Should you consider the amount of time that one spends dealing with it? Are some forms of bullshit more significant than others?

Measurement Technique: How will you track your daily encounters with bullshit? What if theres so much bullshit out there that you cant (or dont want to) sit down and recall it every evening? How much information do you feel comfortable providing? How will you make the data anonymous enough that it can be discussed without getting you in trouble?

Reporting Approach: You will need to report your findings. You can do however you see fit (e.g., tables, graphs, figures, etc.). For inspiration, take a look at the Dear Data project (www.dear-data.com/theproject), which has examples of lo-fi data visualizations of everyday life. Or, if youre a user, see Tableaus gallery (https://public.tableau.com/en-us/s/gallery). Again, be creative and display your data however you would like an interactive applet, data viz software, in PowerPoint, a stack of 3×5 cards, a hand-drawing, etc.

The deliverable for this activity is a short synopsis of the above 4 parameters: your concept and measurement definitions, your measurement technique, and (obviously) your summary reporting of the findings.
