Counseling program

Alana is a supervisee who has been working in your agency for a year, following her graduation from a Counseling program and receiving a Master’s degree. She recently discussed a case with you that has left her feeling angry and frustrated because the client has not made any progress. Although Alana is very motivated to help her client, she is also overwhelmed because she strongly identifies with the childhood experiences her client has shared, due to experiences Alana endured in her own childhood.

Alana’s client is a 19-year-old female with a history of cutting her own arms and legs. She was hospitalized after overdosing on non-prescription pain relievers and released 3 weeks ago. Alana completed the intake shortly after this incident.

The client has tense relationships with her mother, sister, and her roommate. She has a history of sexual abuse by her paternal uncle and physical abuse by her father. The client states she has tried to cope with her feelings through alcohol and occasionally uses marijuana, but they don’t make her feel better, so she rarely resorts to them. She is a freshman in college but failing most of her classes. The client sees Alana for counseling but continuously resists any type of therapeutic intervention.

Alana has been trying to get a more detailed client history, but the client only talks about arguments with her roommate. The client often references her recent hospitalization and expresses that she regrets not taking more non-prescription pain relievers.

Alana is concerned the client is manipulating her and isn’t serious about counseling. She doesn’t believe the client is serious about taking aspirin and that if she was serious about suicide, she would have done something more lethal the last time. She believes the client is attention-seeking.  Alana has told you that she has dreamed about this case numerous times and has been searching for her client on social media to get an idea of her personality and interests. She hopes to have a better connection with her client if she can find things they have in common. Alana asks you if showing the client her own scars from cutting on her arms might help build a stronger bond.

 

Select a supervision model of your choice and write a supervision plan for Alana.

 

Complete the following in your supervision plan:

  • Identify the legal and ethical issues to be addressed.
  • Explain the order of priority for addressing the identified issues, based on legal and ethical standards.
  • Justify your use of the supervision model to be used in the plan.
  • Support your response with current research.
  • Identify interventions you would choose to help Alana address the issues with her client.
  • Suggest possible training or remediation strategies to minimize the possibility of these issues arising in the future.

Functional neuroimaging of the brain during sleep

You’re participating in an experiment involving functional neuroimaging of the brain during sleep. when neural activity in your parahippocampal place area increases the experimenter awakens you and you tell her 9you were dreaming about a nice little house in the woods. when neural activity in our fusiform face increases, the experimenter again awakens you and tell her you were dreaming about the face of a childhood friend.  discussing the question of whether these types of neural activity are candidates for neural correlates of consciousness

Denouncing the practice of spanking children

Most people’s consciousness has been raised about the evil of child abuse, and some people’s to the point of denouncing the practice of spanking children. But many others believe that spanking is not necessarily abusive and can be a positive means of developing children’s sense of right and wrong and guiding them to responsibility and self-discipline.

Theory of aggression

Describe a situation where you were aggressive with another individual.  Remember that aggression is defined as any behavior carried out with the intention of harming another and that aggression takes on many forms (e.g., physical, verbal, and non-verbal).  Select a theory of aggression that best explains why you are aggressed in the situation.  Theories:  Aggression as an innate tendency; Aggression as an elicited drive: a modified version of frustration-aggression hypothesis; Aggression as a reaction to aversive events: cognitive neoassociationist view; aggression as a learned social behavior; direct provocation, the role of mitigating circumstances and attributions; excitation transfer: heightened arousal and aggression.

Value-driven attentional control

Describe three scenarios in which a 50-dollar boll becomes the focus of your attention. one involving top-down attentional control, one involving bottom-up attentional control, and one involving value-driven attentional control.

Childhood development

Need help responding to this with this discussion starting with I agree. Responses must be one hundred fifty words 

discussion board 1

Play in early childhood development is important because it helps physically and cognitively. Gross and motor skills in early childhood development get better and better because of play. Play helps get kids to exercise and reduces the chance of becoming obsessed. Children who pretend play “helps them solidify new cognitive schemes they were developing.” (Paris, Ricardo, & Raymond 185) “Play, then, reflects changes in their conceptions or thoughts. However, children also learn as they play and experiment. (Paris, Ricardo, & Rymond 185).

Play is such a fundamental part of the early childhood experience. Through play children learn to make sense of the world. According to Piaget, children are very much involved in pretending during this preoperational stage of development.  He believed that children’s play helped them to synthesize new schemata that helped them to develop cognitively and that this play, based on pretend and experimentation, applied new ways of thinking about old ideas (Child Growth & Development, p. 185).  Play helps children understand the world that they live in.  Children need to experiment, manipulate, problem solve, and interact with the world around them so they can make decisions for themselves that are essential to understanding how the world works.  Play provides these opportunities for children to actively engage with their environment and in doing so, come to understand how the world works as well as their place in it.

Both Piaget and Vygotsky both believed that children need to be active participants in their learning. Not only is play important for cognitive growth, but it is a very important aspect of physical and social growth as well. Piaget believed that children go through stages of growth and development that presented opportunities and experiences. The child would then apply prior knowledge to these new experiences and develop new schema in such a way that cognitive equilibrium would be achieved, and new knowledge acquired (Child Growth & Development, p. 187). Vygotsky took a more social approach to learning. He believed that children learn from adults and older peers and felt that a child would not reach his full potential without these interactions (Child Growth & Development, p. 188). He believed that children should be taught tasks that are just slightly more challenging than they can accomplish independently with the help of a skilled teacher. His idea of the Zone of Proximal Development is seen today in teaching methods using scaffolding or supports that help the child to stretch his thinking and acquire new learning (Child Growth & Development, p188). According to Vygotsky, play allows children to model the actions of adults so they can begin to understand the world better and their role within that world (El’Konin, p. 13).
