I need you to paraphase and not plagiarize this. I need it in an hour.

 

Discussion 2: Applying Decision-Making Models

There are numerous ethical decision-making models, or EDMs, utilized in the counseling profession. As a practicing counselor, you will be expected to incorporate the use of an EDM in your practice. Understanding how to integrate these EDMs to specific cases will differ on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, it is important to hone the skill of applying EDMs within your professional practice to ensure ethical, efficient, and effective counseling services. Sifting out the nuances between these different EDMs is helpful in the preparation for future practice.

For this Discussion, use the Case Study Analysis Worksheet located in the Learning Resources for this week. Then, select a case study from the ACA Ethical Standards Casebook and an ethical decision-making model. Finally, consider how you would apply this model to a case study.

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the case study you selected from the ACA Ethical Standards Casebook and ethical decision-making model you selected. Then explain how you would apply this ethical decision-making model to the case study.

Be sure to use the Learning Resources and the current literature to support your response.

Applying EDM Models

 

Case Study #7: I Feel Exhausted

Elaine is a young counseling currently in her postmaster’s counseling practice. She just made a big decision to move to a new town and leave all her friends and family behind. Her first initial thought or feelings was that of excitement she would hopefully fulfil her professional goal of gaining a leadership role to help create positive change in the community in which she worked in. In a direct result of her large case load, Elaine often times felt she was on the edge of burn out or fatigue (Herlihy & Corey, 2015, p.187-189). She was often times overworked, felt she was lacking support from others around and this made her feel like she was unable to reach out to others for support. Her social life played a huge impact on her overwhelmed feelings, she felt unable to make new friends and the failure of relationship with friends and loved ones because of lack of communication. She began to sleep more than usual, have little to no motivation physically; ordering and spending most of her free time watching TV.

 

Ethical Decision-Making Model:

Elaine work stress has to be addressed because of its potential unhealthy consequences it has on her person and professional life. She is at some point could be putting herself at risk of impairment to her professional life, which could lead down a path of, limited interaction with clients, suspension, or even termination of her professional responsibilities until deemed to work again. These measures are used only when there may be a threat of harm to client. For Elaine there is an ethical decision making model that could apply to this case. I would implicate Virtue Ethical Decision Making Model (VEDM) this EDM is used to analyze a dilemma or situation that is having an impairing affect of a counselor in order to avoid harmful acts to clients (Garcia et. Al, 2003).

Proposal Identification

/in /by

This assignment is one in a progression of assignments that will move you toward your final research proposal. Refer to the Final Research Proposal document for information about the final proposal.

 

Continue with the type of treatment that you began researching in Module 1 (i.e., individual treatment, group treatment, or family treatment with male adolescents who have received a diagnosis of conduct disorder), write a paper (500-750 words) that addresses the following:

 

  1. Using the one research question that you identified in the previous module’s research project assignment, or a new one that you would like to use for this assignment, write a proposal that identifies one nonexperimental design method that you could use to study the question.
  2. Justify the choice of this nonexperimental design as a means of studying the question or hypothesis.
  3. Describe the methods (e.g., sampling, measurement, procedures) you would use to conduct the experiment.

Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the textbook in your paper.

 

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

Week 3 – Discussion

No unread replies.No replies.

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 Cognitive Neuroscience Research, Intelligence, and Memories

Prior to beginning this discussion, please read the Frost and Lumia (2012) and the  Rhodes, Rodriguez, and Shah (2014) required articles as well as the following selections from your required text:

  • “Attention in Cognition and Early Learning” (pp. 71-77)
  • “Cognition and Emotion” (pp. 78-84)
  • “Memory” (pp. 85-91)
  • “Intelligence” (pp. 92-98)
  • “Concept learning” (pg. 99-103)

Review the information in The Critical Thinking Community (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. In your initial post, you will apply what you learned from each of the five articles from your text, but you will discuss the findings and implications for just one of these articles. The articles are assigned based on the first letter of your last name. Please see the list below to determine which of the articles you will focus on for your initial post. Last name begins with:

  • A through E: “Intelligence”

Explain the empirical findings presented in your assigned article, applying appropriate citations and references. Describe, in your own words, how the research relates to your own experiences as well as how this area of neuroscience may have affected your past or current beliefs about knowledge development. Do the research findings refute or support your current beliefs, and in what ways? Are there variables about knowledge development for which you were unaware based on your article?

Based on the information presented in the five articles from the text, how prevalent are false autobiographical memories in your own life? In your own words, describe how emotion and episodic memory development affect these memories. Apply the basic research findings from the “Intelligence” article (Sternberg, 2010) that intelligence is highly inheritable and fixed to your own experiences and compare them with the suggestions you drew from the findings of your assigned article. Apply skeptical inquiry to the potential problems that might arise from the premise of fixed intelligence. Provide a rationale for whether or not this premise is valid and/or appropriate based on the findings reported by the assigned articles: “Attention in Cognition and Early Learning,” “Cognition and Emotion,” “Memory,” “Intelligence,” and “Concept Learning.” It is recommended that you research articles in the Ashford University Library to support your assertions should the required articles not provide sufficient information.

Guided Response: Review several of your colleague’s posts and respond to at least two of your peers who were assigned a different article than you were by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies early each week to stimulate more meaningful and interactive discourse in your discussions. Are the rationales provided by your peers well supported? Do your peers’ explanations provide a complete and elaborate understanding of findings and implications of their article’s research findings to the field of learning and cognition? What clarifications would you recommend? Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post. Be sure to also respond to your instructor’s comments to you in this forum by Day 7. Peer responses may vary in length but should be detailed and thought-provoking. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses
