Module 6 Discussion Questions and EXTENDED WCA information

Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling on this week’s discussion:

1. Charles Barkley famously said “I’m not a role model.”  Given what we learned in this module on virtue ethics, do you think that it is fair for a major sports star to say that?  Why or why not?

2. Select ONE of the virtues listed on pages 20-25 of the module.  Explain why it is a virtue, according to Aristotle, and what the corresponding vices are.  Then, explain how you might OBTAIN this virtue and raise any challenges you to its place on the list of virtues.

3. Explain the three conditions (pages 15-19 of the Module presentation) and how they combine to make someone virtuous.

4. The Greeks believed that arête (EXCELLENCE) is to be as good as possible at many things.  We tend to be the very focused and specialized, and we often specialize to the detriment of overall knowledge and ability.  Who is right about how to live, and why do think so?

Week 6 – Final Project

Psychological Treatment Plan

It is recommended that students review the e-book The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner (Jongsma, Peterson, & Bruce, 2014) for additional assistance in completing this assignment.

Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to document a client’s progress toward short- and long-term goals. The content within psychological treatment plans varies depending on the clinical setting. The clinician’s theoretical orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client’s needs are taken into account when developing and implementing a treatment plan. Typically, the client’s presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan.

To understand the treatment planning process, students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the same case study utilized for Case study 18: Julia A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used to support the recommendations made within the plan. The Psychological Treatment Plan must include the headings and content outlined below.

Behaviorally Defined Symptoms

Define the client’s presenting problem(s) and provide a diagnostic impression.

Identify how the problem(s) is/are evidenced in the client’s behavior.

List the client’s cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

Long-Term Goal

Generate a long-term treatment goal that represents the desired outcome for the client.

This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable.

Short-Term Objectives

Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining the long-term goal.

Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable language. Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable. For example, it should be stated that the objective will be accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will be reduced by a certain percentage.

Interventions

Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the short-term objectives.

Compare a minimum of three evidence-based theoretical orientations from which appropriate interventions can be selected for the client.

Explain the connection between the theoretical orientation and corresponding intervention selected.

Provide a rationale for the integration of multiple theoretical orientations within this treatment plan.

Identify two to three treatment modalities (e.g., individual, couple, family, group, etc.) that would be appropriate for use with the client.

It is a best practice to include outside providers (e.g., psychiatrists, medical doctors, nutritionists, social workers, holistic practitioners, etc.) in the intervention planning process to build a support network that will assist the client in the achievement of treatment goals.

Evaluation

List the anticipated outcomes of each proposed treatment intervention based on scholarly literature.

Be sure to take into account the individual’s strengths, weaknesses, external stressors, and cultural factors (e.g., gender, age, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, etc.) in the evaluation.

Provide an assessment of the efficacy of evidence-based intervention options.

Ethics

Analyze and describe potential ethical dilemmas that may arise while implementing this treatment plan.

Cite specific ethical principles and any applicable law(s) for resolving the ethical dilemma(s).

The Psychological Treatment Plan

Must be 8 to 10 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..

Must include a separate title page with the following:

Title of paper

Student’s name

Course name and number

Instructor’s name

Date submitted

Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text.

Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

explain steps you could take to improve the reliability of a multi-rater assessment. Support your response using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

/in /by

There are many instances in which multiple raters use a single psychometric measure to evaluate one individual, such as in job performance appraisals. You may have heard of 360-reviews, which allow multiple people who work with an employee (typically peers, subordinates, and supervisors) to provide feedback on performance. It is hoped that with multiple sources of input, a more fair and complete version of an employee’s performance can be gained.

There are considerations that need to be addressed, however, when implementing a multiple-rater assessment. A strategy must be devised to combine the multiple evaluations. The scores may be averaged, evaluated using a rating scale, or one rater or one pair of raters may be selected as the “best” and those scores used. It is also necessary to examine the reliability of an assessment. Intra-class correlation and kappa are two statistics often used to measure inter-rater reliability. These tools tell you the degree to which the raters agree in their scores, and they are useful in improving assessments and rater training.

To prepare for this Discussion, consider how you might combine multiple raters’ evaluations of an individual on a measure of job performance. Also consider the psychometric implications of multiple-raters and how you might improve reliability of this type of assessment.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an explanation of how you might combine multiple raters’ evaluations of an individual on a measure of job performance. Provide a specific example of this use. Then explain psychometric implications of using multiple raters. Finally, explain steps you could take to improve the reliability of a multi-rater assessment. Support your response using the Learning Resources and the current literature.
