Post by Day 3 a comparison of normal and abnormal behavior, drawing from your original definition of abnormal behavior and from the definitions put forth in the Learning Resources.

/in /by

At this stage in your study of human psychology, you might be wondering, “I can often recognize what I consider to be abnormal behavior, so why is it so difficult to define?” As you found in this week’s assigned reading, some of the issues involved in distinguishing abnormal from normal behavior are complex and fraught with controversy. Additionally, the definition of abnormal behavior can change with time.

To prepare:

  • Review the definitions of abnormal and abnormality in Chapter 1 of your text.
  • Analyze how the definitions align, overlap, or differ.
  • Reflect on how these statements or others might have changed your ideas of what constitutes abnormal behavior.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a comparison of normal and abnormal behavior, drawing from your original definition of abnormal behavior and from the definitions put forth in the Learning Resources. Include any challenges you might see in using these definitions to guide the assessment of your clients.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references from the Learning Resources

Assistance is needed in answering the following DBP:

To further your study of clients’ important rights of privacy and confidentiality you will do some research on your own. This will assist you in learning the history of these rights and examining their implications for ethical practice. Finally, you will create a plan for how you will ensure you respect these rights in your future practice.

Use the internet and the Library to research the development of clients’ rights of privacy and confidentiality.Then respond to the following questions:

· Discuss the history and the basis of clients’ rights to privacy and the development of the right of confidentiality.

· Why are these rights necessary and important for clients receiving services?

· How do these rights impact service delivery by human service professionals?

Develop a plan to protect your future clients’ rights to privacy and confidentiality? Discuss ways you intend implement these ideas in your practice.

In Topic 5, you submitted a treatment plan for your client Eliza. Since the initial treatment plan, several changes have taken place within Eliza’s case. Since the mandatory assessment two weeks ago, you have discovered that Eliza is again on your client listing for the day due to a mandatory evaluation, with the incident report indicating that campus public safety, due to a tip from a concerned resident, found the client passed out and alone in her dorm, smelling of alcohol.

Part 1: Review the initial Treatment Plan submitted in Topic 5.

  1. Reassess your treatment plan diagnoses, goals, and objectives based on the new information provided.
  2. Fill out and submit a new treatment plan evidencing the changes made in treatment utilizing the treatment plan template provided.

Part 2: In a 1,000-1,250-word essay, answer the questions presented in a separate Word document, addressing the following:

  1. Examine the case and propose why the changes occurred.
  2. Reassess the effectiveness and validity of the treatment plan.
  3. Discuss how the treatment plan needs to be adjusted to address the changes in the situation.
  4. Justify the changes both ethically and legally.
  5. Determine what the changes (obstacles) mean to the treatment plan.
  6. Discuss how you would evaluate the resources available for you to make a referral.
  7. Discuss how you would communicate to the client the need for referrals to other providers.
  8. Determine which referrals you would make and which you might suggest to the client.
  9. Include any instruments you would use to assess the client.

Submit the revised treatment plan and essay to your instructor.

 Discuss the changes in values,  principles, and subject matter that psychobiology brought to the field  of psychology, and how these changes affected psychologists’ ways of  understanding human behavior.

/in /by

For this discussion, please choose one of the three options below.  Choose a school of thought that you have not already discussed in  another discussion post, and be sure to note which option you have  chosen at the beginning of your post.

  • Option 1: Humanistic psychology is also called  third-force psychology. Discuss the changes in values, principles, and  subject matter that humanistic psychology brought to the field of  psychology, and how these changes affected psychologists’ ways of  understanding human behavior. Also, address the ways in which humanistic  psychology asks questions and conducts research. Provide at least two  peer-reviewed articles that support your ideas.
  • Option 2: Discuss the changes in values,  principles, and subject matter that cognitive psychology brought to the  field of psychology, and how these changes affected psychologists’ ways  of understanding human behavior. Also, address the ways in which  cognitive psychology asks questions and conducted research. Provide at  least two peer-reviewed articles that support your ideas.
  • Option 3: Discuss the changes in values,  principles, and subject matter that psychobiology brought to the field  of psychology, and how these changes affected psychologists’ ways of  understanding human behavior. Also, address the ways in which  psychobiology asks questions and conducts research. Provide at least two  peer-reviewed articles that support your ideas.

Post by Day 4 a brief explanation of self-determination theory. Then explain how self-determination theory is an extension of cognitive evaluation theory.

Theories often evolve from previous theories. As you noted in past weeks, job characteristics and job enrichment theory incorporate key elements of job/work design theory. Also, you discovered that organizational justice theories emerged from equity theory. This week, you discover that the same evolutionary trajectory occurs as basic principles of cognitive evaluation theory (CET) appear in the broader and more comprehensive self-determination theory (SET).

Organizational psychology professionals might be asked to address issues relating to low worker motivation and failure to achieve goals. Recognizing that most individuals perform work assignments because they have to and not because they want to, Deci and Ryan (2000) suggest workers develop an “active personal commitment” to their job (p. 60). To achieve this objective, these researchers recommend a course in which employees internalize and integrate their values into their work tasks.

For this Discussion, think about the relationship between CET and SDT. Then select a professional or academic goal that you have achieved and consider why you achieved that goal based on SDT.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief explanation of self-determination theory. Then explain how self-determination theory is an extension of cognitive evaluation theory. Finally, describe the goal you selected and explain why you achieved that goal based on self-determination theory.
