How do the skills affect rapport?

Before moving through diagnostic decision making, a social worker needs to conduct an interview that builds on a biopsychosocial assessment. New parts are added that clarify the timing, nature, and sequence of symptoms in the diagnostic interview. The Mental Status Exam (MSE) is a part of that process.

 

The MSE is designed to systematically help diagnosticians recognize patterns or syndromes of a person’s cognitive functioning. It includes very particular, direct observations about affect and other signs of which the client might not be directly aware.

 

When the diagnostic interview is complete, the diagnostician has far more detail about the fluctuations and history of symptoms the patient self-reports, along with the direct observations of the MSE. This combination greatly improves the chances of accurate diagnosis. Conducting the MSE and other special diagnostic elements in a structured but client-sensitive manner supports that goal. In this Assignment, you take on the role of a social worker conducting an MSE.

 

To prepare:

  • Watch the video describing an MSE. Then watch the Sommers-Flanagan (2014) “Mental Status Exam” video clip. Make sure to take notes on the nine domains of the interview.
  • Review the Morrison (2014) reading on the elements of a diagnostic interview.
  • Download the Conducting a Diagnostic Interview with a Mental Status Exam template (ATTACHED)

 

Submit a 2- to 3-page paper in which you:

  • Write up your MSE for Carl based upon his interview with Dr. Sommers-Flanagan. Be professional and concise for all nine areas.
  • Explain the presenting problem for the referral and the identifying descriptors for Carl
  • Identify any areas in your MSE that require follow-up data collection.
  • Explain how using the cross-cutting measure would add to the information gathered.
  • Identify elements of Dr. Sommer-Flanagan’s interview with Carl and his variations from the formal MSE

Describe skills Dr. Sommers-Flanagan uses to engage Carl during the assessment.

  • What impact does the use of these skills seem to have on Carl?
  • How do the skills affect rapport?
  • Do Carl’s answers add to your ability to diagnose him in any specific way? Why or why not?

Finally, consider the following questions:

 

  • What concerns would you have about Carl’s mannerisms in the interview or his spontaneous content and unusual beliefs?
  • How would you address these mannerisms and beliefs?
  • Would you discuss them with Carl now or in the future? Why?

Are negotiations and exchange tactics appropriate

Are negotiations and exchange tactics appropriate

Power is an individual’s ability to influence environments and people within environments. There are different methods in which leaders gain power, which can be highly organized and/or extremely multifaceted. With power, a leader may motivate a group by providing authority to enact change within an organization toward a directed goal. For some leaders, having a variety of ways to access power may produce greater effectiveness for the organization. Just as leaders may work hard to gain power, leaders also must work hard to use power appropriately in order to maintain it and avoid losing it within organizations.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources and the case study “Organizational Power and Politics” on page 174 of Lussier & Achua (2015). Be sure to consider sources of power in your response.

An analysis of the sources of power that Helen has. What types of power is he using? What influencing tactics is Helen using during the meeting? Are negotiations and exchange tactics appropriate in this situation? Include in your Discussion sources of power and influencing tactics that relate to this case study.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the current literature and Learning Resources

Psychology & Film Analysis

Purpose:

Hopefully you can understand psychology is a “hub” for a variety of disciplines. For your paper, you are to connect what you have learned from this class and apply it to film. The purpose of the assignments is to answer how films portray psychology, typically through characters suffering through a variety of situations.

Films:

Choose one of the following Netflix films to analyze:

· The Village (2004)

· Milk (2008)

· Black Mirror: S2: E2 – White Bear (2016)

· Mowgli : Legend of the Jungle (2018)

· Dallas Byers Club (2013)

· Her (2013)

Instructions:

After viewing your chosen film, you are to analyze the film through a psychological lens. You may use any perspective, concept, or theory we have examined this semester. For example, you could easily discuss social psychological (stereotypes, discrimination, prejudice) concepts in Dallas Byers Club (2013). You could discuss defense mechanisms in Her (2013). You can discuss parenting styles with Mowgli (2016). You may simply choose a character in the film and complete a character analysis. You may also do the same analysis for a scene. Again, you decide. You have the freedom to construct this analysis as you like.

To make your analysis stronger, you are to find scholarly research articles that will reinforce what you are writing. You need to make sure you cite as appropriate. You may utilize your online textbook, online journal articles, or any other type of credible sources as your reference. Visit https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ to learn more about to cite and to reference in APA style.

Plagiarism and Due Date:

Your paper will be due on Sunday, December 30, 2018 by 11:59 pm through the D2L drobox titled “Film Analysis”. Once you submit your paper, your paper will automatically be screened through Turnitin. Turnitin is a program where it will detect if you have copied and pasted material from sources, without giving credit. If you do this, the program will catch it and you will receive a 0.

After you submit your paper, the system will give you an originality report. The report informs me of how much of the work is your own and how much is copied from other sources without giving proper credit. Any report that has more than 12 percent originality will receive a 0. With that said, you will be allowed multiple turn ins up until the due date to bring down the originality report. It is still possible to plagiarize, even though your report is under 12 percent. To view your originality report after submitting:

· Click on the file which you submitted

· Look for a colored box with a number inside of it (originality report number). Click on the box, accept the terms and conditions, if it prompts you to, and you can view what is being copied from other sources.

· You can submit as much as you would like; however, the system will only give you an originality report once every 24 hours. So, be wise and submit your paper early to make sure you are below 12%.

“This is an online course and there are many circumstances that can cause problems when submitting assignments online i.e. slow load time, computer failures, power outages, program updates, mother nature, etc. Consequently, due to the unforeseen difficulties, it is strongly recommended that a student not wait until the last day/minute to submit their assignment. Doing so creates a risk for potential problems that cannot be corrected before the “due” date (closing time) and will result in the student receiving a “0” for their grade.”

Paper Outline

· The first header needs to be the introduction paragraph, and it should introduce the film, provide a brief summary of the film, and should inform the readers how you plan to integrate psychology into your analyses (thesis statement).

· Each paragraph (use APA sub headers) after the introduction should include a topic sentence (informing the reader what the paragraph (s) will be about, and you should have supporting detail to back up your argument. Make sure you use citations in these paragraphs. If you mention any psychology term, you must have a citation to back up that information.

· Your conclusion (use APA sub header) should re-state the thesis and effectively end the paper.

· Do not write in first person.

Eye-opening?

Eye-opening?

Emerging Adulthood: A theory of development from the late teens through the twenties.

Instructions: For the article, write an essay in your own words (do not copy sentences out of the paper) that summarizes and critiques the article you have read. Be sure to begin by briefly summarizing the article. Next, analyze those aspects of the article that were clear or confusing to you. Conclude by speculating about broader implications and possible future directions of research in the area described in the article. A plan for your essay is shown below:

Part One: Article Summary. Summarize the overarching idea(s) and/or theme of the article as the authors have presented them. This section should reflect your understanding of the literature presented in the article. Be sure to include developmental implications and theoretical underpinnings (for example, what theories have we discussed in class that might support these ideas?).

Part Two: Strengths of the Article. Identify and characterize the useful features of the article. That is, what aspects of the article seemed particularly strong? Did you find a certain section of the article to be particularly helpful? (Eye-opening? Interesting? Salient to your understanding of development?) Describe why.

Part Three: Weaknesses of the Article. Identify and characterize the confusing aspects of the article. That is, did you find any weaknesses in the ideas presented or the literature review? Was any particular section confusing to you? Did the authors draw conclusions that were inappropriate, in your opinion? Why?

Part Four: Conclusion. Conclude your essay by speculating about the broader implication of this article/topic. Why does this article/topic matter? How could this information be used? Additionally, identify future directions of research (go ahead and be creative). Based on what you read, what should we study next?

Length: Two full pages (not to exceed three pages).

Plagiarism: Do not copy any portion of a paper into your essays. Plagiarism interferes with the main purpose of having you prepare these papers, which is to get you to synthesize what you have read and then explain it and analyze it IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

Format: You do not have to include a reference page with this assignment. However, your paper should be written in APA format and include a title page.

• Title page (including title of paper, student’s name with middle initial, and Oral Roberts University centered on 3 lines, double spaced between, in the upper half of the page)

• Page numbers in the upper right corner of the page, beginning with the title page

• 1” margins on all four sides, double spaced throughout (no extra space between paragraphs)

• 12 point Times New Roman font
