Reflect on two of Elkind’s manifestations of adolescent egocentrism:

  1. The imaginary audience
  2. The personal fable

Next, create two case studies (250-500 words each), each illustrating one of these.

 

Case studies can be personal experiences or made up for the purpose of illustration.

 

Examples should be unique, and should differ from examples used in Lecture 5 or the Module 5 textbook readings.

 

 

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Unit 3 Option 2 Clinical Psychology

 

if you are unable to attend you have the opportunity to make up the points by summarizing the archived Seminar. Your paper should be written in appropriate APA style for a written summary. In other words, you are not required to use direct quotes, cite references, include an abstract, or include a reference page. You do, however, have to write in complete sentences and paragraphs, provide a title page, and include a professional presentation. Listen to the archived Seminar to provide a summary and respond to the Seminar questions. Submit your summary to the Seminar Dropbox before the end of the unit to receive credit.

Please come to Seminar prepared to discuss the following:

Michael is a 25-year-old graduate student at a large university. He is seeing Dr. Kelly, a clinical psychologist, for depression and anxiety. These symptoms emerged when Michael began graduate school about six months ago and have persisted. Michael’s experience as a graduate student has included significant ongoing stressors, including financial insecurity, academic pressures, and turmoil in his romantic and family relationships. During one session, when Michael had suffered through a particularly stressful week and was feeling especially distraught. He spent the first 20 minutes of the session describing all the pressures he faced. At one point, Michael was quite agitated, and he said, “That school has wrecked my life. I hate that place. Maybe I ought to just blow the whole place up.”

  1. Dangerousness
    • How does the Tarasoff court case apply to this clinical case?
    • How can Dr. Kelly determine if Michael’s comment constitutes a credible, legitimate threat?
    • In your opinion, should Dr. Kelly break confidentiality based on Michael’s comment? If so, with whom, specifically, should he communicate? How does this change if Michael is a high school student and 16 years old?
    • How is the issue of informed consent relevant to this case?
  2. Confidentiality
    • Is it okay to talk to your friends about this if you do not tell the client’s name? What is the “6 degrees” concept? How does it apply to this situation?
    • How would this case be different if the client were an adolescent? How is confidentiality affected when the client is an adolescent?

Prior to completing this discussion, please read the Hudson-Barr (2004) article and the American Psychological Association (2003) article and the case study below.

 

Baillargeon, R. (1987). Object permanence in 3½- and 4½-month-old infants. Developmental Psychology, 23(5), 655-664. doi:10.1037/0012-1649.23.5.655

 

Read your assigned article with a specific focus on the methods utilized for the study. In your initial post, you will identify the research question(s) and/or problem(s), the target population and sample (specific group within the target population), the measures (tests, instruments, and/or questionnaires used), and the procedures (how the study was conducted) presented in the article. Using the identified elements, evaluate and comment on the benefits and limitations of the methodology utilized to study the scholarly perspectives presented in your assigned research article.

 

Analyze ethical considerations by addressing any issues or concerns arising from the methodology presented. Are there perceivable biases in the research methods or procedures? Were the ethical considerations clearly addressed in the study and/or discussed with regard to the treatment of the sample?

 

Propose solutions or suggestions for how to adapt the methodology in the assigned article to address any ethical concerns or limitations noted. Describe how these changes would address the limitations of the study as well as any ethical concerns. Also note the current relevance of the changes and their application to developmental trends and practice.

 

This is a discussion not paper.. please format accordingly

Explain the topic you chose and why it is interesting or controversial

/in /by

Do a little research to find a specific topic and learn about explanations on both sides. Consider what you think might best explain the observed facts of the case.

 

Write: Explain the topic you chose and why it is interesting or controversial. Present good arguments on more than one side of the issue (e.g. competing explanations of the facts). Analyze both arguments that you have presented. Then present your own argument for your theory that you feel will best explain this phenomenon. Are there any holes in your theory? Is there any information that would be likely to strengthen or weaken your case?
