Cults
What aspects of social psychology discussed in your textbook might help explain why someone might become attracted to a harmful cult or terrorist group?

  • After watching the video, pretend you have been given a job with the United Nations and you have been asked to work on addressing the conditions conducive to the rise of harmful cults and spread of terrorism.  Given what you now know about the relevant social psychological mechanisms at play, what might be some of the steps you would want to take?Chapter 12 SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

    Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot to death at the hands of George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watchman, in 2012. Was his death the result of self-defense or racial bias? That question drew hundreds of people to rally on each side of this heated debate.

    Cognitive dissonance is aroused by inconsistent beliefs and behaviors. Believing cigarettes are bad for your health, but smoking cigarettes anyway, can cause cognitive dissonance. To reduce cognitive dissonance, individuals can change their behavior, as in quitting smoking, or change their belief, such as discounting the evidence that smoking is harmful.

Structural and Strategic Family Therapy

Structural and Strategic Family Therapy Essay Assignment Papers- NURS 6650 Walden University Week 4

Week 4: Structural and Strategic Family Therapy

Individuals are born into families, grow and develop in families, and live most of their lives in families. Therefore, it makes sense that clients are best understood within the context of the family system.

——Dr. Candice Knight, Psychotherapy for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse

The family system is a social unit that is based on unique relationships and roles. Structural and strategic therapies are important, because they offer unique insights to the theoretical underpinnings of this system. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, a strong theoretical foundation will help you better understand the family unit and family therapy; this understanding will, in turn, improve the effectiveness of your work with clients. Structural and Strategic Family Therapy Essay Assignment Papers- NURS 6650 Walden University Week 4.
This week, as you continue exploring family therapy, you examine structural and strategic family therapies and their appropriateness for client families. You also consider your own practicum experiences involving family therapy sessions.

Although structural therapy and strategic therapy are both used in family therapy, these therapeutic approaches have many differences in theory and application. As you assess families and develop treatment plans, you must consider these differences and their potential impact on clients. For this Assignment, as you compare structural and strategic family therapy, consider which therapeutic approach you might use with your own client families. Structural and Strategic Family Therapy Essay Assignment Papers- NURS 6650 Walden University Week 4.

Relativistic Thinking

Discussion—Relativistic Thinking: A New Perspective On The World

Children and adolescents tend to engage in so-called “black and white” thinking. In other words, they tend to judge people and situations in dualistic, rather than relativistic, terms. In early adulthood, individuals begin to reason about situations using a more flexible framework that helps them to resolve contradictions between different perspectives.
Describe a situation in which you or someone you know has had to move beyond “black and white” thinking and has been able to develop a more relativistic perspective. Answer the following:

  • What was it about the situation that challenged you or the other person to think more relativistically?
  • How do you think people begin to respond to others differently once they begin to use relativistic thinking?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.
Write your initial response in 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Parenting the teen on the autism spectrum

Psychology homework help
Parenting teens. Hm. I describe teenagers as  “2 year-olds in big bodies.” Their developmental milestones are not very different from the toddler, really. They tend to think they are the center of the universe. They want to stand on their own two feet. And you as the parent must not be seen with them. They are separating from the parental unit and gaining more independence. I remember driving my 14 year-old daughter to the mall. She said, “Drop me off here. I don’t want my friends to see you.” 🙁
What’s really tough for parents is the fact that adolescence is the most dangerous time of their lives–hormones, driving, sex, alcohol, hormones, drugs, first important romantic relationships, hormones. We want to hold them closer and wrap them in cotton, while simultaneously, they want to get away from us! Tough few years for teens and parents, at least in Western society.
You’ll have some choice in your research and posts this week. Please find the most recent research and demographic data to include in your post. Here are the topics from which you can choose:
1. Parenting the teen on the autism spectrum
2. Parenting the teen who just came out to you as being something other than heterosexual
3. Parenting the teen who is being bullied at school
4. Parenting the teen who is addicted to alcohol or other drugs
5. Parenting the teen who is always angry, doesn’t listen, and constantly fights with you
In your post, tell us how common this is, causes, resources (including at least one resource in your own community & tell us what they offer), and the strategies you would use in reaching out to your teen. Please cite and reference your sources in correct APA format

Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar Disorder Essay Assignment Paper

Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar Disorder Essay Assignment Paper

Week 4: Bipolar Therapy

Jay, an 18-year-old high school senior, presents with symptoms of difficulty sleeping and feeling sad, which results in an initial diagnosis of depression. His mother later reports, however, that Jay exhibits symptoms of irritability and risk-taking behaviors. (His little brother reported to his mother that they were driving over 90 miles an hour on the highway.) After further evaluation, Jay’s psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner diagnosed him with bipolar disorder.
Cases like this are not uncommon with bipolar disorder, as initial assessments rarely provides all the information needed. In your role, as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, you must develop strategies for properly assessing and diagnosing these clients because treatments for bipolar disorder are significantly different than treatments for depression or other mood disorders.
This week, as you examine bipolar therapies, you explore the assessment and treatment of clients with bipolar disorder. You also consider ethical and legal implications of these therapies.

Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a unique disorder that causes shifts in mood and energy, which results in depression and mania for clients. Proper diagnosis of this disorder is often a challenge for two reasons: 1) clients often present as depressive or manic, but may have both; and 2) many symptoms of bipolar disorder are similar to other disorders. Misdiagnosis is common, making it essential for you to have a deep understanding of the disorder’s pathophysiology. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with bipolar disorder. Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar Disorder Essay Assignment Paper.
