What specific strategies or advice would you recommend that Gloria can do to help her son to make better decisions?

/in /by

Gloria is a recent college graduate and a single mom to 16-year-old Gary. Gloria and Gary used to be close. But recently, Gloria has noticed that Gary is only focused on what his friends think about him. Gary recently snuck out of his bedroom window and went to a party when he was supposed to be studying for a big exam. Gloria caught him coming home and smelled alcohol on his breath and marijuana on his clothes. Gloria is shocked and appalled by her son’s recent behavior and grounded him for two weeks.

Gloria comes to you because she needs some advice on how to handle her son’s poor choices. Using what you have learned about the adolescent brain and social development in Chapter 3 of the webtext, answer the questions below to help Gloria understand why her son is making such poor choices, and pose some recommendations to help her solve her problem:

For each question, you should write a paragraph-length response (5-7 sentences).

1. What physically happens to teen brains that make it difficult for someone like Gary to weigh risk and reward?

2. In addition to their brains changing, teens change socially too. Why may Gary value his peers more than his mom?

3. What specific strategies or advice would you recommend that Gloria can do to help her son to make better decisions?

4. Place yourself in Gloria’s shoes. How do you think Gloria is feeling? How can understanding her feelings help you offer constructive advice?

I have choosen Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) as the topic for my research paper.

 

The Research paper topic is to choose an anxiety disorder that is included in the DSM 5 (see last page of the syllabus). Research papers should include symptoms, basic concepts, genetic factors if applicable, course of the disorder, development of the disorder (such as cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components) and treatment (including pharmacological treatment).

 

 

 

Included in the paper should explain how your chosen anxiety disorder fits criteria for the anxiety disorder category and how it differs from other disorders within the anxiety classification (hint: use differential diagnosis information). Critical thinking should be evident within the content of paper (in other words, do not provide only straight factual information).   Critical thinking can be provided in applying cognitive theory or other therapeutic orientations to the treatment of the disorder.

 

 

 

Papers should be between 1,000 and 1,500 words, and should include at least six references and follow APA formatting examples.  Please note that any papers submitted late or that do not meet the wording criteria within 10%  (i.e., 900 to 1,650) will result in the deduction of an entire letter grade.  Please see the external link section for resources on APA formatting and contact your instructor or the library if you need help with formatting.

 

 

Scholarly sources must be used.  You may use popular sources to support public opinion and perhaps your critical thinking but it must be in addition to 6 scholarly sources.  If you have questions about scholarly text, please consult with your instructor or the library.
