Psychology  Assignment: Scholar Practitioner Project: Addiction Intervention

/in /by

Assignment: Scholar Practitioner Project: Addiction InterventionMost individuals do not decide to seek treatment on their own. Often, some form of leverage from outside influences is required to provide the necessary incentive to seek treatment. The broad term for this leverage is intervention. Interventions are not limited to the confrontational family scenarios currently popularized by reality television. Intervention can be any action taken by others to persuade the person with problems with addiction to seek help.There are several models of family interventions, but the one used most often is the Johnson Model, developed several decades ago by Episcopal priest Vernon Johnson (Clark, 2012). In this model, an addiction professional guides family members and significant others in rehearsing and carrying out an unannounced confrontation with the person with problems with addiction. The end goal is to have this person agree to enter into a prearranged treatment setting.In this assignment, you apply intervention strategies to address Marge’s addiction and you consider potential ethical dilemmas related to the intervention.In a 2- to 3-page APA-formatted paper, address the following:Using the Johnson Model, design an intervention as it might have occurred six weeks prior to Marge’s admission into treatment. Include the following:Describe some of the people who might participate in the intervention. Provide a rationale for including these individuals.Describe the qualified professional to guide the process. Explain why this person would be qualified.Explain the preparation process prior to Marge’s intervention.Provide three examples of strategies that participants might take in Marge’s intervention.Describe three potential sanctions that participants might employ if Marge refuses treatment.Explain any ethical dilemmas that might arise from Marge’s intervention.

Psychology  Mat dis 5

/in /by

3/30It can be very frightening to read about malpractice law. However, being uninformed is not the best response to that fear! If you work as a forensic psychologist, you will find that you are often consulted about Tarasoff issues, and other aspects of therapist liability or negligence. This week’s readings will provide you with good background and a good foundation for understanding these issues, which will work against anxiety.The debate about delayed recall of childhood trauma and what the Reisner text calls “MPD” is complex and not best suited to be addressed using a law text.Describe one of the points of law, specific issues, or matters of doctrine that impressed, intrigued or frightened you. DO NOT summarize the case. Rather, you should discuss one aspect of the case. You can argue the court’s findings, learn more about the issues involved through outside references, or describe a variation on the case that might have gotten a different outcome.BOX 3.2The Case of Ted Bundy: A Real-Life PsychopathBorn in 1946, Theodore Robert Bundy seemed destined for a charmed life; he was intelligent, attractive, and articulate (Holmes & DeBurger, 1988). A Boy Scout as a youth and then an honor student and psychology major at the University of Washington, he was at one time a work-study student at the Seattle Crisis Clinic. Later he became assistant to the chairman of the Washington State Republican Party. It is probably around this time that he claimed his first victim, a college-age woman who was viciously attacked while sleeping, left alive but brain damaged.From 1974 through 1978, Bundy stalked, attacked, killed, and then sexually assaulted as many as 36 victims in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, and Florida. Apparently, some of the women were taken off guard when the good-looking, casual Bundy approached, seeming helpless: walking with crutches, or having an apparent broken arm. He usually choked them to death and then sexually abused and mutilated them before disposing of their bodies in remote areas (Nordheimer, 1989).Maintaining a charming façade is characteristic of many people with psychopathy; acquaintances often describe them (as they did Bundy) as “fascinating,” “charismatic,” and “compassionate.” Beneath his superficial charm, though, Bundy was deceitful and dangerous. Embarrassed because he was an illegitimate child and his mother was poor, he constantly sought, as a youth, to give the impression of being an upper-class kid. He wore fake mustaches and used makeup to change his appearance. He faked a British accent and stole cars in high school to help maintain his image. He constantly sought out the company of attractive women, not because he was genuinely interested in them but because he wanted people to notice and admire him. At his trial for the murder of two Chi Omega sorority sisters in their bedrooms at Florida State University, he served as his own attorney. (Bundy had attended two law schools, although he did not graduate from either.) He was convicted; he was also found guilty of the kidnapping, murder, and mutilation of a Lake City, Florida, girl who was 12 years old. Bundy was sentenced to death.Shortly before he was executed on January 24, 1989, Bundy gave a television interview to evangelist James Dobson in which he blamed his problems on pornography. He said, “Those of us who are … so much influenced by violence in the media, in particular pornographic violence, are not some kind of inherent monsters. We are your husbands, and we grew up in regular families” (quoted by Lamar, 1989, p. 34).Bundy claimed that he spent his formative years with a grandfather who had an insatiable craving for pornography. He told Dr. Dobson, “People will accuse me of being self-serving but I am just telling you how I feel. Through God’s help, I have been able to come to the point where I, much too late, but better late than never, feel the hurt and the pain that I am responsible for” (quoted by Kleinberg, 1989, p. 5A).The tape of Bundy’s last interview, produced by Dobson and titled “Fatal Addiction,” has been widely disseminated, especially by those who seek to eliminate all pornography. But Bundy’s claim that pornography was the “fuel for his fantasies” should be viewed skeptically. It may merely have been one last manipulative ploy to buy more time. In none of his previous interviews, including extensive conversations in 1986 with Dorothy Lewis, a psychiatrist he had come to trust, did he ever cite “a pornographic preamble to his grotesqueries” (Nobile, 1989, p. 41).

Psychology  Discussion: Spiritual Development

/in /by

Furness and Gilligan (2010) stated, “There is a growing body of literature written predominantly for health professionals and more recently for social workers about the importance of developing and incorporating cultural and spiritual sensitivity and awareness in their work with others” (p. 2187). Spirituality, which may or may not include involvement with an established religion, contributes to human diversity and influences human behavior. An individual’s spirituality may be an important factor in his or her social environment. As a social worker, your awareness of a client’s spirituality may help increase your understanding of the client and his or her needs.Sensitivity to and respect for your client’s spiritual dimension reflects your appreciation of diversity. As you consider the potential impact of your clients’ spirituality on their perspectives and behavior, you must also consider how your spirituality might influence your interactions with a client.For this Discussion, you consider the impact of spirituality on your interactions with clients.By Day 3Post a Discussion in which you explain how considerations about clients’ worldviews, including their spirituality or religious convictions, might affect your interactions with them. Provide at least two specific examples. In addition, explain one way your own spirituality or religious convictions might support your work with a client, and one barrier it might present. Finally, share one strategy for applying an awareness of spirituality to social work practice in general.Required ReadingsZastrow, C. H., & Kirst-Ashman, K. K. (2016).
