 Analyses of Social Problems in Case Studies

As a social worker, often you need to use your policy advocacy skills to ensure that your clients are receiving the services that they need. Although you may tend to think of policy advocacy skills as separate from your clinical social work skills, they are very similar. Think of the skills that you would use in working with a client such as Jake Levy. How could you apply these skills to policy advocacy? How will you use these skills to identify the policy and social problems that are impacting these families? In this week’s Discussion, you will continue to follow the Levy, Bradley, Petrakis, and Cortez families to start the process of policy advocacy.

****In this Discussion, select one of the four integrated videos and identify the problems experienced by the client(s). Bradley Family Levy,Family, Cortez Family or Petrakis Family. **********

Post by Day 3 your responses to the following:

  • Who is defining the problem?
  • What values are reflected in this definition of the problem?
  • What is being omitted in this definition?
  • What other problems do you see that are not being acknowledged?

Be sure to support your post with specific references to this week’s resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.

Review this week’s DVD program, “Application of Psychological Research – Court Settings.”Think about how psychological research can guide the practice of forensic psychology relative to various issues presented in court settings.

Applying Research in Court Settings

Psychologists have interacted with the courts much longer than forensic psychology has been recognized as a field. Indeed, the usage of psychological expertise and data by the court and legal systems is quite broad. Attorneys, for example, hire psychologists and forensic psychology professionals as consultants to assist in the selection of a jury suitable to their client’s case. Expert testimony from psychologists and forensic psychology professionals has been proffered on many subjects to help jurors better understand technical and scientific data. Psychological research on how a jury works and how jurors make decisions has shed new light on the legal process. Even family courts rely on psychological data and expert testimony to aid in the awarding of child custody during divorce proceedings. Reading research studies related to court settings will familiarize you with a wide variety of empirical data used in the court system.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review this week’s DVD program, “Application of Psychological Research – Court Settings.”Think about how psychological research can guide the practice of forensic psychology relative to various issues presented in court settings.
  • Review the article, “The Effects of Pretrial Publicity on Juror Verdicts: A Meta-Analytic Review.” Pay particular attention to the studies reviewed in this meta-analysis and think about how a forensic psychology professional working in a court setting might use this information.
  • Review the article, “On the ‘ General Acceptance’ of Eyewitness Testimony Research: A New Survey of Experts.” Focus on how experts in the field of psychology evaluated eye witness testimony in a court setting. Consider how the results reported from the questionnaire given to the expert psychologists might be used or applied by professionals working in a court setting.
  • Using the Walden Library, identify a psychological research study that could be used in a court setting by a forensic psychologist or forensic psychology professional.
  • Review the methods and results sections of this research study and think about how this study might be used by forensic psychologists or forensic psychology professionals working in a court setting.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post  a brief description of the research study you selected. Then, explain the parts of this study that you believe might be important for a forensic psychology professional working in a court setting. Finally, explain how a forensic psychology professional might use the results of the study in a court setting.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the four treatment interventions  implemented by Dr. Remoc and support your statements with information  from the case and two to three peer-reviewed articles from the Ashford  University Library.

Case Analysis – Integrating Theoretical Orientations

Prior to beginning this assignment, read the PSY650 Week Two Treatment Plan ,Preview the document Case  16: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Gorenstein and Comer  (2014), and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders in Hamblin and  Gross (2012).

Assess the evidence-based practices implemented in this case study by addressing the following issues:

  • Explain the connection between each theoretical orientation used by Dr. Remoc and the four interventions utilized in the case.
  • Consider Dr. Remoc’s utilization of two theoretical frameworks to  guide her treatment plan.  Assess the efficacy of integrating two  orientations based on the information presented in the case study.  Describe some potential problems with prescribing medication as the only  treatment option for children with ADHD.
  • Identify tasks and positive reinforcements that might be included in  Billy’s token economy chart given the behavior issues described in the  case. (There are articles in the recommended resources that may assist  you in this portion of the assignment.)
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the four treatment interventions  implemented by Dr. Remoc and support your statements with information  from the case and two to three peer-reviewed articles from the Ashford  University Library.
  • Recommend three additional treatment interventions that would be  appropriate in this case. Use information from the Hamblin and Gross  “Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders” chapter to help support your  recommendations. Justify your selections with information from the  case.

The Case Analysis

  • Must be 4 to 5 double-spaced pages in length (not including title  and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined  in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Option 5: Health and Sports Psychology Presentation

 

 

 

The research described in segment 5 has implications for a possible drug which might prevent dementia. Assume you have been asked to address a local club on the future of geriatrics for 15 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

Watch the “Landscape of the Brain,” “Memory Eraser,” “How Does the Memory Work?,” and “Chess Experiment” videos available on the student website.

 

 

 

Prepare a 2 slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes explaining how the brain processes memories and possibilities for future remediation of geriatric dementia. Assume the club membership includes a broad spectrum of education and experience, but likely only a rudimentary knowledge of psychology.

 

 

 

Address the following in your presentation:

 

 

 

  • A brief summary of the work of Isabelle Mansuy
  • Speculation as to how Mansuy’s work might apply in the treatment of human geriatric dementiaYou will choose (conducting a mental status exam).  You will conduct an interview with a friend, family member or classmate for the purpose of completing this assignment.

     

    It will be important focus your work (i.e., questions, interview strategy, etc.) on the task you have chosen.

     

    Your type written mental status exam should range in length from one to two pages, no longer than two pages.  As a component of this task you will post a brief reflection regarding your experience.
