Research Problem and Question: To assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior

/in /by

Research Problem and Question:
To assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the treatment of depression among teenage women diagnosed with Anorexia, a random sample of fifteen women between the ages of 16 to 27 years old were recruited to participate in an eight-week study.  Following an initial pretreatment interview each participating received CBT for one hour per week for 8 weeks.  Levels of depression were assessed at baseline (during the pretreatment visit), and immediately following the therapy sessions 2, 4, 6, and 8, using the Beck Depression Inventory -II (BDI-II, 1996)).  Using the attached SPSS data file, conduct a Oneway RM ANOVA and follow-up Bonferroni’s post hoc means comparison tests, to determine if depression levels changed significantly over the 8 weeks of the study.
REQUIRED ELEMENTS:
Here’s what’s required for the SPSS application assignment.
1) Write a Null and Alternative Hypothesis.
2) Write an APA style summary of the analysis. Model your summary after my sample summary.
Be sure to include the following:
2a) Explain the purpose and goals of the analysis.
2b) Conduct Mauchly’s test for Sphericity and report the results to determine if the data met the assumption of Sphericity and summarize the results
2c) Using correct APA style, report and interpret the F-ratio, the p-value for F, and the effect size (eta-square)
2d) Using correct APA style, report the findings for Bonferroni’s mean comparison tests.  Be sure to answer the question “Do depression levels change significantly over the 8-weeks of the study, and which week means differ significantly, and how large is the effect size(s).
3) Create an APA formatted ANOVA table, you must refer to the table within the summary.
4) Create a table showing the means, 95% CI for means, SDs, SEs. You must refer to the table within the 5)
Create a Profile Plot of the means.  You must refer to this figure within the summary
OPTIONAL ELEMENT:
Test to see if the data at each interval is normally distributed using Kolmogorov-Smirnovor or the Shapiro-Wilk test, and of the Z-tests for Skewness and Kurtosis

Assignment: Schizophrenia Over Time: Experiences Living With the Illness
Experiences of schizophrenia are not homogeneous; there is wide variety in onset, course of illness, and combinations of symptoms. Social workers need to be able to understand the different manifestations and pathways of the illness to plan interventions. Social work services play a key role in stabilizing crises, supporting family coping, and influencing overall quality of life and outcomes of individuals with schizophrenia. In this Assignment, you practice applying this necessary individualization.
To prepare: In the Learning Resources, focus on the associated features, development, and course of the illnesses in the schizophrenia spectrum. Also focus on descriptions of the disorder and the way it develops for different individuals.
Choose two articles from the list in the Learning Resources that apply to treatment support and interventions for the schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders chapter in the DSM 5. Choose either Saks or McGough to focus on for this assignment.
By Day 7
Submit a 3- to 4-page paper, supported by at least 4 scholarly resources (not including DSM-5), in which you address the following:
Describe Saks’s or McGough’s experiences with schizophrenia. Identify onset, associated features (specifically referencing the positive and negative symptoms), development, and course. 
Explain how you would use the Clinician Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity measure and the WHODAS to help confirm your diagnosis.
Explain how you would plan treatment and individualize it for Saks or McGough. Support your response with references to scholarly resources. In your explanation, consider the following questions:
What are the long-term challenges for someone living with the illness?
What social, family, vocational, and medical supports are needed for long-term stabilization?
Briefly explain how race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, or other identity characteristics may influence an individual’s experience with schizophrenia.
