Preventing Perceptions of “The Oppressor”

It often takes time and effort for a human services professional to build trust and rapport with an interviewee. This can be especially difficult when an interviewee superimposes perceptions of “the oppressor” onto an interviewer. Interviewees often view those in the human services field as authority figures with the power to make decisions that affect their loved ones and their futures. A human services professional’s presentation—including dress, body language, and tone—can reinforce this perception. In this Assignment, you will analyze the need for sensitivity with regard to how you are perceived by your interviewee. You will also explore strategies that might help to reduce the perception of oppression by demonstrating your trustworthiness and building credibility with your interviewee.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review Chapter 3 in your course text, The Helping Process: Assessment to Termination. Consider the section titled “Exercise 1: The Initial Interview—the Applicant’s Perspective,” which focuses on the individuals’ perceptions of power roles and oppression.
  • Review Chapter 5 in your course text, The Helping Process: Assessment to Termination, focusing on the section titled “Interviewing Skills.”
  • Review the article, “A Framework for Thinking About Oppression and Its Change” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus on the definition of oppression and how it might be manifest in human services interviews.
  • Identify and consider strategies human services professionals employ when interviewing members of oppressed populations.

The Assignment:

Submit by Day 7 a 1 page paper that includes the following:

  • An explanation of how you might be perceived as the oppressor to an interviewee. Explain two different ways in which this perception could occur.
  • An explanation of the strategies you might use to prevent or reduce such perceptions
  • At least one insight you had or conclusion you drew as a result of completing this Assignment.

The past twenty years have seen advancements in technology that were critical to further understanding concepts in cognitive psychology. Two such developments are positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These scans allow researchers to “see” the brain in action.

Research how brain scans can diagnose injury and disease using the Internet and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, answer the following questions:How do PET and MRI work?If you were showing a person words while having an MRI, what brain areas would probably be active?If a brain injury victim is unable to move the right arm, in which area of the brain would an MRI scan most likely reveal damage?What kind of scan do you think would be best in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease?How do the research tools (equipment and methodology) available today contribute to a greater understanding of “conscious processes and immediate experience” than was possible using trained introspection and structuralism?

PETs and MRIs also can diagnose head injuries. Consider the following scenario:

You are working at a Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital and meet with Allison. Allison is in the US Army and has just returned home from a deployment. During her deployment, a bomb was thrown into a vehicle in which she was riding. She was not severely injured but was told that she sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Respond to the following:Define TBI for Allison.Describe any symptoms that Allison might experience.How do you think the army should deal with these injuries? For example, if Allison is not obviously physically impaired, should she be discharged and receive disability pay? Should she be redeployed? If Allison stays in the army, what kinds of jobs do you think she should not perform?   

Write your initial response in 4–5 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Ethical and legal considerations are important in the field of psychology. This certainly holds true for the area of psychological assessment. Understanding the ethical codes and federal and state laws that apply to psychological testing and assessment is essential to the psychology profession, because these codes and laws protect both you and your clients.

Case Study 5
 
Chase Knotting was a patient who had been seen in 2003 by Dr. David Miller, a psychiatrist. In 2008, Chase was about to remarry, and his fiancée’s father asked a psychologist friend, Dr. Saul Leventhal, to write Dr. Miller to find out about his soon-to-be son-in-law. Dr. Leventhal wrote to Miller stating specifically that he was requesting information in order to advise and apprise a concerned future father-in-law. Dr. Miller’s response letter indicated that Chase had been diagnosed as a “manic-depressive with psychotic features.” Dr. Miller went on to write that his advice to the bride-to-be was to “run as fast and as far as she could away from this man . . . of course, if he didn’t marry her, he would marry some other poor girl and make her life hell.”
