Mary Jones brought her 49-year-old mother, Mrs. Sandra Davis, to the community mental health center. Mrs. Jones states that she is concerned about her mother. Mrs. Jones describes her mother as becoming more and more withdrawn. Her mother refuses to leave home, stays in her bedroom with the lights off, has no appetite, does not bathe nor comb her hair, and is always crying.

Mrs. Davis is widowed. Her husband died one year ago. She has three children who live in their own homes/apartments. The youngest child just recently moved to an apartment because she wanted more privacy.

From your observation, you notice that Mrs. Davis’ face is sad. Her forehead is pinched and tight, and her eyes are downcast. She complains of insomnia, lack of energy, poor appetite, and pressure in her chest. She frequently sighs as she talks. Mrs. Davis says that she is worthless, that everything will always turn out bad no matter what she does, and that she has nothing to live for. She says that she would never commit suicide because people don’t go to heaven if they commit suicide.

1. Provide a provisional DSM 5/ICD 10 diagnosis

2. Examine and discuss the psychotherapeutic modalities you would choose to use to treat this client. Choose between Psychoanalytic, adlerian, existential, person-centered, gestalt, behavior, cognitive behavior, choice/reality, feminist, and postmodern therapy. You may combine therapies (integrative approach), but you must justify the combination. Be sure to include a list of the specific techniques (therapeutic processes and content), not just the theory you would use for this client. Be specific in how you would treat each client.

3. Explain your rationale.

How did Eric Erikson define an ‘Identity Crisis’ and how do these crises impact us as we age? What did he believe would happen if a child was unable to successfully complete earlier stages of development?

All college writing assumes you are familiar with short essay writing. However, a refresher never hurts! There are some helpful websites you can consult as you complete short answer and short essay questions. Below is an example of 5 common questions I found online.

Five Common Question Types

There are overlaps and crossovers, of course, but most short answer and essay questions belong primarily in one of these five categories.

1. Identify questions: Provide a detailed description of an event, process, or idea. These questions often include words such as:  Identify, Enumerate, Define, Describe, List, or Summarize
2. Explain questions: Analyze why, how, or in what order a set of events or processes occur. These questions often include words such as:  Explain, Account for, Analyze, Discuss, Trace, or Outline
3. Compare questions: Analyze the similarities and differences; answer with an investigation of a relationship. These questions often include words such as:  Compare, Contrast, Distinguish, Relate
4. Argue questions: Answer with a defense of a position that considers potential detractors. These questions often include words such as: Argue, Agree, Disagree, Debate, Defend, Justify, Prove
5. Assess questions: Answer with an evaluation. These questions often include words such as: Assess, Criticize, Evaluate, Interpret, Propose, Review

1. Another behavior that professionals aim to improve is the nutritional habits of young children. Many studies have evaluated the effectiveness of observational behavior on young children in regard to nutrition habits, such as fruit and vegetable consumption and nutritional literacy. One study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior evaluated the effectiveness of screen-based peer modeling on children’s vegetable consumption. This study enrolled 42 children, aged 3-5 years old, who were asked to watch either a video of a peer eating a vegetable, a video that was non-food related, or no video at all. Researchers then evaluated the child’s vegetable consumption rate of all of the groups. It was found that children who watched the video with vegetables were more likely to eat more grams of vegetables that same day (Stainano et al., 2016). This study shows how public health professionals can use peer observational learning to help promote healthy eating habits in young children.

Do you agree or not and why?

2.As I previously mentioned, media can play a large role in observational learning, negative and positive! A TikTok trend led millions of people to Chole Ting’s fitness channel on Youtube. During quarantine, gyms were closed and people were looking for at-home workouts when Chole Ting started trending on the popular app. People were going crazy about it and encouraging others to try it for themselves. Staying active, especially when gyms are closed, has many benefits and this trend helped public health professionals promote a healthy lifestyle!

Do you agree or not and why?

Describe the hardships of any 1 (one) of the following groups: American Indians, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and European immigrants.  How did they cope in the past vs. how did they cope now?  How did their struggles shape their group identity over time?  Give examples.  Discuss in detail the strengths of the 2 family groups described in the text. Then, select 1 (one) family group and thoroughly describe the gender roles.  Select 1 (one) of the following 3 theories (social learning theory, cognitive development theory, and feminist approaches) and explain how the theory you selected would explain why men are less likely than women to engage in childcare and domestic chores.  Be as specific as possible, and be sure to support your answer with sources you cite in the body of your answer and include in a reference list.
