You are required to discuss case-specific cultural factors as well as legal and ethical issues present in each case.
Your responses must be 2 pages in length per case.

Considering the indicated symptoms for all three cases below you are required to:

Indicate the possible etiologies in a general way and the steps you would take to diagnose, treat, and manage these cases, with consideration of pharmacological intervention

You don’t need to discuss every detail of your treatment – just write from the standpoint of a clinical psychotherapist who does not prescribe medication, but coordinates care with physicians who do.
Case Studies: Respond to all three (3):
1. Bob is a 47-year-old Native-American man who comes to you with his wife of 15 years. He appears agitated and complains that he feels anxious. His wife reports that Bob has had a lot of trouble sitting still, frequently jumping up and pacing. While he has been this way throughout their marriage, it is getting increasingly worse. Bob tells you that he is a lot like his abusive father, who died of alcoholism. Bob feels that if he drank, he’d be able to relax, but swore he would never be like his father. The wife tells you that the children are frightened when Bob gets agitated as he has punched holes in walls. You notice the wife looks frightened when you ask her if she feels the children are safe in the home.
2. Steven is a 7-year-old Asian-American first grade student brought to treatment by his mother. He has been disruptive in class. His teacher and the school counselor are strongly urging that Steven be put on medication for ADHD, but his mother is reluctant to do so. Steven is described as exceptionally gifted and appears bored in the classroom. His mother tells you that Steven is impatient and rageful to his younger sisters at home. She is afraid Steven is taking after his abusive father, who no longer lives in the home due to domestic violence. She tells you that their father is allowed to visit the children in the home under her supervision.
3. Melinda is an exceptionally bright, 17-year-old African-American young woman, in her first year at a state college. Both parents accompany her to your office. When she came home for spring break, she started talking nonsense, saying that the college’s biology department is using a high-powered laser to alter the DNA in her brain. She has always been an “A” student and has never shown any sign of psychiatric disturbance prior to this.

Identifying Verbal Operants

In 1957, B. F. Skinner wrote the book Verbal Behavior in which he analyzed language based on the same environmental principles of behavior that he previously used to analyze nonverbal behavior. That analysis resulted in a classification system that allows for identification of different types of language. Based on this system, the elementary verbal operants originated, which include mands, tacts, echoic, and intraverbal (Sundberg, 1998). This assignment allows you to further solidify your understanding on this classification system.

To complete this assignment, write an APA-formatted paper in which you:

– Review the examples in the grid below and identify which verbal operant (mands, tacts, echoic, and intraverbal) is being presented.

– Define each of the four verbal operants and justify the answers you provided. Why did you choose the verbal operant that you did?

– Provide your own example of each verbal operant in narrative form.

– Explain why it is beneficial for learners to increase their mand, tact, echoic and intraverbal repertoire.

APA formatting

Resources: 1–2 scholarly or professional resources.

Length: 2–3 double-spaced pages of content, in addition to the title page and references page.

Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.

Persuasive Health Campaign Message

In our busy world of constant communication, where we are bombarded by information and messages and needs, how do you cut through that noise to get people’s attention? How do you influence people to watch and listen to what you have to say, even if the topic is not one they have thought about before? How do you persuade them to take the action you request? That is your challenge and goal for this Discussion.

The issue is healthcare in rural areas of the United States. Your first task will be to educate yourself on the needs of people in these areas. If you live in an urban area, you may not be aware of the degree to which place informs resources available and access to those resources. Being poor and underserved in a rural area increases the needs of these residents. Consider this finding from the 2010 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports: “Despite improvements, differences persist in health care quality among racial and ethnic minority groups. People in low-income families also experience poorer quality care.” (AHRQ, 2014, para.1)

Put on your advocacy hat, and remember the Walden University outcome to facilitate positive social change. The media message that you develop could impact services in a rural county where you live or in your state, now or in the future.

For this Discussion you will respond to the following scenario:

Imagine that you are an employee in the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) of your county. Your department is launching a campaign to increase quality services to the underserved in your community. You are tasked with developing a media message that HHSA will disseminate to the public, with the goal of persuading people to donate money for a mobile screening bus that can travel to rural areas of the county and reach underserved individuals and families.

To prepare:

  • Review the Week 6 Learning Resources. In particular, review the article “Behind Advertising: The Language of Persuasion” for specific principles and strategies to use in developing your media message.
  • Consider the wording of the media message to include in your Discussion.
  • Consider the ethics of your message and how it adheres to the code of ethics for human services professionals or other codes of ethics of particular interest to you, and to ethical guidelines for advertising.

By Day 3

Post responses to the following:

  • Present the text of your media message.
  • Explain the principles and strategies you used to develop the message, and your reasoning.
  • Justify how your media message is ethical by referencing specific codes of ethics and other resources.

  2. Data Display: Select an appropriate form of visual display of behavioral data (choose from line graphs, bar graphs, cumulative records, semi-logarithmic charts, or scatterplots) from which valid and reliable decisions are best analyzed in your case study. Remember, the visual format you select should depend on the type of raw data you collect from your case study and the primary purpose of its evaluation.
  3. Data-Based Decisions: Justify how the selected form of data display will best allow you to make data-based decisions for your case study.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Academic writing is challenging because the writer must communicate compellingly while maintaining a steady focus on the argument\rationale.  In the social sciences, there is an additional requirement to provide your argument and provide the weaknesses in, and alternatives to your argument. This multi-position approach is contrary to how we generally interact with the world. The literature review’s goal is to develop an argument for examining the proposed research problem, so the description of the literature should not only describe what has been studied but also support the need for additional study.

INSTRUCTIONS

Turn in the best-written 2 pages of a Literature Review to date.

These 2 pages must represent your best writing.

Your best writing includes:

• No direct quotes

• Complete and descriptive sentences

• Integrated to beautifully organized and written paragraphs

• Logical transitions from one paragraph to another.

• You should make use of APA style
