W7 PPT1 – Presentation on Suicide and Grief

/in /by

As a mental health worker, you have been assigned the task of presenting, for training purposes at your agency, a staff development on assisting families dealing with suicide and grief.

To complete this assignment, access and read the “Presentation on Suicide and Grief Assignment Criteria” document.

The PowerPoint presentation should consist of 15-20 slides, not including the title slide and slide for APA citations. Images may be included in the presentation, but be sure to keep all image sizes low for this presentation.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assessment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines

 

 

Design an experiment so that you could test this theory with different age ranges of babies to asses the progression of color perceptionMake sure you pay attention to the research basics from Chapter 1, and clearly include your i.e., independent variables, dependent  variables).

This activity reinforces students’ knowledge and understanding of infants’ sensory and perceptual abilities and provides an opportunity for students to apply this knowledge. 

Color Perception in Infancy

As Santrock mentions in the text, the visual system continues to develop after birth. It appears that experience is necessary for visual development to progress, and recent research suggests that experience may be equally important for color perception. In one study, infant monkeys were raised in a room with only monochromatic illumination for almost a year (Sugita, 2004). These monkeys were able to match colors after extensive training, but their judgments were significantly different from those of infant monkeys who were not raised in the same environment. This suggests that early experience is important in the development of color perception.

Research with human infants suggests that although human newborns (ranging from 1 to 7 days of age) are able to discriminate between certain colors, their ability to discriminate is vastly different from that of adults (Adams & Courage, 1998). The excitation purity levels that were necessary for infants to detect a difference between the colors green, red, and yellow from white were significantly higher than those necessary for adult perception. This research suggests that neonatal color vision is quite poor.

Design an experiment so that you could test this theory with different age ranges of babies to asses the progression of color perceptionMake sure you pay attention to the research basics from Chapter 1, and clearly include your i.e., independent variables, dependent  variables). You must include a clear theory and hypothesis – and clear method for testing.

Think about using toys, bedding, easy to access household things to manipulate for your experiment

See the  extra slides for chapter 5 to help you decide how/what to choose for your experiment.

Use theory to support your experiment and make sure you support your theory with empirical support.

Be critical thinkers!

  • Each assignment is worth 25 points. Approx. 1000 words  is ~ 4 pages in length.
  • Follow basic APA formatting i.e. 12pt font (Times or Arial), double spaced, 1 inch margins. You do not need a cover page but you must cite references in APA style.
  • Be clear, and concise, but thorough in order to expect full points.
  • Use three (3) peer reviewed journal articles to support your arguments/claims. The book can be used as an extra resource (the book also provides several resources to look up).

Which approach matches your style? What about ethical issues? What appear to be the “common factors” among these three approaches?

This assignment is worth 50 points.

View the following three videos:

1. Gloria and Fritz Perls  2. Gloria and Albert Ellis  3. Gloria and Carl Rogers

It is a good idea to take notes as you watch the videos.

You are to review and critique each therapeutic technique as well as compare/contrast techniques. Integrate terminology and concepts from the weekly readings.  Describe therapeutic listening techniques used, techniques used to increase client participation, techniques that demonstrate empathy, mindfulness techniques, stages of change, etc.

Address the following questions. Which therapist encourages rapport? Who connects with Gloria? Who promotes change? Who exhibits mindful awareness? Delve deep…this is not simply a summary of each style, though that will be part of the assignment. What do you notice regarding verbal and nonverbal communication of the therapist? What techniques does each therapist use or fail to use to encourage dialog and building of the therapeutic relationship? Use specific examples from the videos to support your comments.

Which approach matches your style? What about ethical issues? What appear to be the “common factors” among these three approaches?

A thorough critique will range from 6-10 pages. Be sure to have an introduction to your paper and a conclusion. Use APA style.

Final Project Part Three: Intervention Strategies 

Task: Submit to complete this assignment

Recommend effective and appropriate treatment options available for both family therapy treatment and individual treatment for various behavioral/ psychological issues affecting children and adolescents applicable to your intervention plan.
For additional details, please refer to the Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide document.

Prompt: Recommend at least three effective and appropriate treatment options available for both family therapy treatment and individual treatment for various behavioral/psychological challenges affecting children and adolescents specifically applicable to your intervention plan. The treatment options chosen should be substantiated by scholarly research. Provide a list of at least six references from established books or peer-reviewed journals that will be used to support chosen treatment options outlining their likely effectiveness. It is important to note that a successful analysis and interpretation of the works will use a minimum of six secondary sources composed of a combination of scholarly journal articles relevant to the topic. While the quantity of resources is not what ensures a successful treatment plan, it is necessary in order to provide you a solid research foundation for your treatment plan.

Format: The assignment should follow these formatting guidelines: use of six sources, 3–4 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA format.
