forum II

I have the “No” viewThis week’s Forum topic is the question raised by Gantt & Slife (2015): “Is Evolution a Good Explanation for Psychological Concepts?” debated in our course textbook, Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Psychological Issues (Gantt & Slife, 2015).  Remember that a statement of the Gantt & Slife (2015) question above followed by a “Yes” or “No” answer to it, depending on your assigned article perspective, should be the start of your initial post.

Ethical Dilemma

You began this session considering a moral-ethical dilemma you yourself faced that you either resolved or failed to resolve, but hopefully learned from. You may never have given much thought to ethical theory nor what ethical premises/paradigms you have unconsciously held.Now that you’ve had an opportunity to explore ethics formally, create a reflective assessment. Revisit your ethical memoir: what ethical theory best applies to your experience? Which significant author you have studied most speaks to your own ethical paradigm as you are (re)forming it now? If you didn’t resolve your ethical dilemma when you experienced it, what would you do now and why?Additionally, explore your process of transformation in this course. Discuss your experiences of the course, your beginnings, and where you are at now with your team or partners and create an oral presentation that reflectively assesses your learning experience and the collaborations you engaged in throughout this session. Are we a society of learners who greatly benefit from interactions? Or are we islands, whose individual systems and beliefs are exclusive to ourselves? [Note: You may find it useful to write your thoughts out in an essay form, but the essay is not required in the drop box. Instead, focus on visual and audio quality, poise, and grace in the execution of this assignment. Let your content and stylistic choices reign creatively, and let your message be compelling, persuasive, and convincing.]

Applying Bowenian and Structural Theories

Theory-based treatment planning, the type you will use throughout this course, is informed and guided by your theoretical orientation. Incorporating your theoretical orientation into treatment planning will help you set goals and choose treatment techniques and interventions appropriate for the client(s) you serve (Gehart & Tuttle, 2003). This week, you apply two counseling theories, Bowenian and structural, to formulate your treatment planning and apply appropriate interventions.In this Assignment, you watch videos of counselors demonstrating the use of Bowenian and structural theories in family counseling. You then formulate treatment plans for the couples and/or families in the videos, applying the theories in question and justifying the use of appropriate interventions.The Assignment (2–3 pages)+treatment planBased on the theory demonstrated in both videos:Define the problem in each video.Create a theory-based treatment plan, including short- and long-term goals for the couples and/or families.Explain two theory-based interventions you would use and justify your selection.Explain one anticipated outcome of each theory-based intervention.Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the resources for this course.https://waldenu.kanopy.com/video/structural-family-therapyhttps://waldenu.kanopy.com/video/bowenian-family-therapy
