Ethical Consultation

Dr. Jamison has joined a group practice of psychologists who have asked her to develop her biography to post with her picture on their social media page. They have asked Dr. Jamison to reach out to her former clients from her last employer to solicit testimonials. Dr. Jamison is very concerned about this request. She was unaware the group practice had a social media page. When she visits the page, she sees several client testimonials for other psychologists in practice, some of which appear to reveal identifying information about the clients.

In 850 words:

1. Describe the ethical issues involved in this situation.

2. Discuss the steps Dr. Jamison should take with regard to her discovery of potential ethical concerns.

3. Provide recommendations for the group’s advertising needs that would meet ethical standards.

Use two to three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

What are the similarities and differences between the different elements?

/in /by

The assignment for this module will ask you to demonstrate higher-order thinking as it applies to adult learning theory. Please do the following presented in a complete narrative posted to the Discussion. Draw appropriately from the class sources and use appropriate APA citations. Use headings to organize your main points. The overall purpose here is to think critically about the elements of adult learning. You will notice from the following that you integrate elements of application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and creation.

Instructions

  1. After reviewing the chapters on theories of adult learning (Merriam and Baumgartner chapters 5 and 16), and this module’s readings on self-directed learning, experience, adult development, and brain/memory/cognitive, judge what you conclude to be the most important concepts from each of those topics—make sure to address each of the concepts listed. Why do you come to that conclusion—that is provide valid rationale?
  2. You were introduced to some enduring theories of adult learning. If you were constructing a theory of adult learning, what would you change, add or delete? Determining how adults learn, how would you design the perfect theory of how adults learn?
  3. Of the elements of adult learning theory presented in the readings, do you identify any underlying themes? What are the similarities and differences between the different elements? Of the elements of adult learning under our control (we can’t change much about brain changes, for instance) what advice would you give to make adult learning the richest experience?
  4. Project to your own teaching demonstration and explain how you will apply elements of adult learning to that teaching demonstration.-My Teaching Demonstration is Sexual Abuse.

Discussion: Typical And Atypical Medications

/in /by

Consider the following scenario:

A client, Roger, scheduled an urgent session and is now describing symptoms of active psychosis to you. Roger was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia by a psychiatrist and was given medications to stabilize his brain chemistry; however, Roger is not taking the medications as prescribed because they make him feel trapped and disengaged in his own skin.

By Day 3

Respond to the following prompts using your mini script.

  • Provide two potential questions you might ask to determine what Roger understands about his diagnosis and about the role of medications.
  • Provide two potential questions you might ask to learn about the reasons for medication nonadherence.
  • Explain the role of medications and counseling alongside a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
  • Include an empathetic reflection to Roger.

Cognitive Changes During Adulthood

PSY-358 Adult Development and Aging

Topic 2 – Cognitive Changes during Adulthood

 

Directions: This assignment will require you to type directly in this worksheet. Part I will require you to research cognitive related changes during adulthood. In each box, describe 3-4 cognitive changes that generally occur during that age-range (include things such as memory, attention, structural change, processing speed, executive functioning, and neurotransmission). Part II, requires that you answer the follow-up questions. Please delete the examples in red.

A minimum of three resources are required. Your textbook may serve as one resource. Make sure the references are current and cited both with your chart and referenced in the reference section.

Part I: General Cognitive Changes

Age Range Brain Development/Cognitive Changes
Emerging Adulthood through Early Adulthood

(approx. 17-25-ish)

 

 EXAMPLES:

The prefrontal cortex is still developing, which influences reasoning, judgement, and problem solving …

 

The limbic system, which serves as the reward system (e.g. linked to risk taking)…

 

Synaptic pruning…
Early Adulthood

Through Middle Adulthood

(25-45-ish)

  

 
Middle Adulthood

through late adulthood

(45-ish through death)

  

 

 

Part II: Follow-up Questions

In 150-250 words, please answer the following questions:

· During what age range do we see the most dramatic cognitive changes occurring?

· Choose (and explain how) at least two factors that might exacerbate the cognitive changes above. Examples: Lack of sleep, binge drinking.

· What can be done to offset some of these cognitive changes (chose one example from your chart and include both preventive and accommodating ideas/tips). Examples: Nutrition and creativity.

· What was your biggest take-away from this activity? What changes might you make now?
