Write 7 pages thesis on the topic the theories of charles darwin, the concept of eugenics. When looking at the basic definitions and concepts of Darwinism and eugenics, it can be seen that they are directly related in basic terms and foundational definitions with the difference relying on the biological and scientific interpretations.&nbsp. Understanding how both of these are linked together also provides a thorough understanding of how different species have evolved as well as what the species will do to move forward with survival, evolution, and changes in the species. More importantly, it shows how the external influences of different theories change the overall meaning, definition, and influence on society.

The concept of eugenics, as well as the theories of Charles Darwin first, became prevalent in the 1800s and through World War II. Charles Darwin began the concept of evolution based on his belief in pangenesis, which was based on how organic substances would modify and change within a given environment. As these changed, they would be transmitted into different body fluids and would go into the next generation. Darwin then expanded the concept of evolution to not only include the concept of survival through an environment but also was known for the evolutionary concept of survival of the fittest. This stated that those who were able to survive within a given environment were stronger than others and could easily adapt to different environments. As they adapted, there was the ability for them to pass on the new genes and other needs to future generations who would then be able to adapt within a given environment (Kevles, 1995).

The concept of evolution, through Darwin’s main theories, then began to open into new ideals of how evolution was possible. Several scientists used the theories of Darwin as a foundation for their own experiments and the belief that evolution occurred because of scientific processes over time. The evolutionary biology then began to link into social evolution, policies, and ideologies of evolution within a given environment and how this created different perspectives on evolution. The link to eugenics then came from the way in which many thought of evolution&nbsp.and how different types of species evolved.

Client’s Age

Dale, an Irish-American, aged fifty-five years old is a male client whose condition (which his brother refers to as ‘sadness’) compels him to seek for clinical intervention. They traced the center through a referral system they found on the internet. He was escorted by his brother Todd, who identified some unusual psychological tendencies prompting them to seek for help. They made enquiries and booked for an appointment via telephone. The interview sessions were conducted at the clinic.

Physically, Dale is a relatively tall, immaculately dressed man. The client indicated based on the observation of his dressing that he has not had any problems with self-care. The assessor and the client (Dale) managed to build a rapport that enabled an effective interaction. The client was willfully opened up and cooperated with the assessor in providing sufficient information about his condition.

Throughout the assessment, Dale is confident while he narrates the story of his life. It is clear to see that he is oriented to time, place and self. He accurately recounts detailed information about his past. Both his long term and short term memories are functional. He can integrate information and connect the past with the present. His speech is articulate and lucid. He has a typical speech volume and rhythm. No speech impediments can be detected in his communication.

The client demonstrated tearful moods and affect that were characterized by a sense of ill-fated feelings. His choice of words indicated he was in deep anger. His face could depict the despondency he was in. Dale, however, does not exhibit any abnormal motor movements. He is seated uprightly and maintains eye-contact with the assessor. No unusual psychomotor movements were observed.

The client’s thought processes and perceptions are of great concern. Although Dale reports he has never attempted suicide in the past, he is currently preoccupied with these thoughts. He candidly admits that he cannot get his mind off the suicidal thoughts. He indicates he is successful in his business career but cannot help control his fluctuating moods that recently inflated. He has a history of depression and this seem to be affecting him up to now. Dale stays indoors for considerable periods and this exposes him to deep suicidal thoughts. The client, however, does not demonstrate any signs of hallucinations or delusions.
