Discussion: Does Psychotherapy Have a Biological Basis?

Many studies have found that psychotherapy is as effective as psychopharmacology in terms of influencing changes in behaviors, symptoms of anxiety, and changes in mental state. Changes influenced by psychopharmacology can be explained by the biological basis of treatments. But how does psychotherapy achieve these changes? Does psychotherapy share common neuronal pathways with psychopharmacology? For this Discussion, consider whether psychotherapy also has a biological basis. 

                                  

Post an explanation of whether psychotherapy has a biological basis. Explain how culture, religion, and socioeconomics might influence ones perspective of the value of psychotherapy treatments. Support your rationale with evidence-based literature.

Article Review (Real World/Current Event)

/in /by

First, review the various topics that are presented in this course using the syllabus. Access the CSU Online Library or Internet for an article on a real world/current event (2012-present) regarding the sociology of sport, why sports in society should be studied, and one of the modern social theories in sports that relate to better management and decision-making in sports. Some examples include gender equity, drug use, race, or any other topic listed for this course. You may locate the source using newspaper, media, journals, or sport magazines. Remember the CSU Online Library is a great source for credible and reliable sources.

Read the article and create a two-page article review on the event. The chapter headings within this unit might help you determine your topic.

The article review should contain three sections:

Introduction of the article including topic

Summary of the article; discuss sociology, why it should be studied, and one of the modern sports theories for management and decision-making of sports

How this course will help you address similar issues in the future.

Use Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced formatting. Your two-page article review should include a title and reference page, which does not count toward the total two-page requirement. 

Use APA formatting when writing your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced, and quoted or paraphrased material must have accompanying in-text citations.

PSA Assignment

/in /by

Introduction

Quite often, people who have never attended a live theatre performance might not know what behavior is expected of the audience.  Because the audience and the performers are all in the same room together, it is important that someone attending a live theatre performance understand and abide by the expectations necessary at such an event.  The question is, how do we let people know, in an effective but approachable way, what is expected of them as audience members?

Assignment

Create a script for a Public Service Announcement (PSA), either for the radio, for TV, or to be shared online, perhaps even all three.  How might you communicate the “rules” for audience etiquette in live theatre?  In the blog entry, write the script for the PSA.  See below for sample formatting:

Speaker 1: This is what the first person says.

Speaker 2: This is what someone else says.(anything that is seen or done by the actors but not spoken is put in parentheses.  This can include movements, scene changes, special effects, etc.)*

The PSA should be approximately 30 seconds to a minute when read aloud, which means it will probably be about half a page to a full page, depending on spacing.

Grading Criteria Please ensure that you PSA includes clearly communicated expectations for a live theatre audience.  It should be thorough, yet concise; clear yet approachable and easy for the general public to understand
