Responses:Theory Integration Wk 3

RE: Discussion – Week 3

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a sort of short-term treatment that is designed to help adults enhance their connection and bonding. In the 1980s, psychiatrists Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg established this method of couples therapy, which is based on research on love as an attachment relationship. Although it is most commonly used by couples, it has also been modified for use by families. This treatment can aid in the formation of a more secure emotional tie between couples and family members, resulting in better connections communication, and collaboration. Emotional Focused Therapy is a therapeutic technique predicated on the theory that someone’s emotions are the foundation of one’s per EFT serves as a guide for a human’s lifestyle preferences and judgment. (Allan and colleagues, 2017) This kind of treatment considers a lack of emotional knowledge or a painful emotions which can just be harmful.

Understanding how to negotiate with individuals who are often in despair is one obstacle that I could face while attempting to implement Emotional Focused Therapy. After the initial engagement with the clients, social workers have learned and understood the necessity of developing rapport. Once tensions are high, it might be harder to create the same level of trust. Emotional Focused Therapy emphasizes the importance of emotions for how it regulates not only a person but also partners in their interactions. ( Gurman, 2015). EFT can help couples and families in crisis strive to strengthen their connections. In many cases, clients are struggling with feelings of wrath, anxiety, loss of trust, or betrayal in their relationships. EFT has also been shown to be useful for couples struggling to cope with their own or a child’s disability. EFT can assist alleviate signs of sadness or trauma in addition to addressing the disturbed marriage. Then, explain how you might mitigate this challenge The strategy to address this issue is to begin by taking the issue slowly with individuals and recognize that part of someone’s responsibility as a clinician or social worker is always to act as an advocate. This gives my clients the opportunity to promote a stronger engagement, confidence, and understanding in preparation for a successful professional interaction. This enables the Social Worker to give serious consideration to another individual in the connection (couple) and encourages everyone to regulate their thoughts at their own pace. Finally, a person passing through an expressive period deserves to understand that their emotional states are unimportant or perhaps invalid. While a client must be visible in therapy, they should be mentally and emotionally engaged. When two individuals are engaged and psychological issues are being discussed, one person may strive to outdo the other or cross a line. As the expert, you should organize a meeting by reminding each partner of the limits and divisions that do not and would not need to be violated after and during the engagement, depending on the place being non-judgmental at one. If the conference gets too much for the professional and a boundary or line is crossed, the session may need to cease. As a Social Worker/Therapist, it is critical to know that when emotions are involved, individuals are more insistent to also be transparent and that it’s necessary to keep in mind as an expert to be ready for the unforeseen.

You are a prosecutor assigned to a District Attorney’s office in a major urban area. You have a very full case load. You specialize in drug and violent crime investigations.

Consider each of the following scenarios. Offer an opinion as to whether the actions are legal, and support your answer. Offer an opinion as to whether the actions are ethical, and support your answer.

* Leaking the identity of a seventeen-year-old gang member who you are fairly certain committed a drive-by shooting to the media knowing full well he was in danger from rival gang members, and then offering protective custody only if he would plead guilty.

* Authorizing the arrest of a fourteen-year-old boy who confessed to a crime, even though there was no serious possibility that he was guilty, in order to pressure a guilty relative to confess to murder.

* Authorizing the arrest of one brother for possession of a very small amount of marijuana, even though you know the charge would ultimately be thrown out by the judge (but the young man would probably lose a scholarship to college) in order to have leverage so that he would testify against his brother, who is a known drug smuggler. The drug smuggler’s activities have resulted in the deaths of numerous teenagers.

Comparing and Contrasting Two Websites for Repetition and Proximity

In this discussion topic, we continue the analysis of the PARC (proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast) principles.

As noted in our discussion topic in week 4, in technical writing, whether you are drafting a set of instructions, a quick start guide, or a report to a specific audience, you want to take note of these principles in the design of your document.

This discussion topic is designed to help you analyze the concepts of proximity and repetition.

Access the following two websites:

• Penny Juice:
• Sanpellegrino :

1. Write a few sentences about how proximity is applied in these two websites. Point out how the two websites apply proximity differently. Which one is more effective in applying the concept of proximity?

Your Hypothesis Test

No doubt, in your experience as a nurse, you have noticed certain trends among your patients. Maybe you’ve noticed that teens seem to suffer more from physical symptoms of anxiety than people of other ages. Maybe you suspect that patients with higher salaries tend to visit their primary care physicians more frequently. In this discussion, please think about an interesting trend, correlation, etc. that you have noticed in the field, and put forth a hypothesis you think would be interesting to test. It is okay if your hypothesis has already been tested in the medical literature. You will not be asked to collect any data or perform the test. In your post, do the following:

In your response you may also want (but are not required) to address the following:

State your hypothesis in plain English.
Briefly explain what experience(s) as a nurse led you to this hypothesis.
State the null and alternative hypotheses using notation.
Describe the statistical test you will need to use. Is it just a single-sample hypothesis test or will you need multiple samples? Will you be looking at the mean(s) of the sample(s) or proportion(s)?
Is there anything else you’d like to say about the hypothetical experiment? Some things you might consider:
Would it be difficult to collect the sample data?
Do you think you would need a large sample?
How would you avoid sample bias?
How could the results of your test help the medical community?
If your hypothesis has been tested before, what were the findings?

Microprocessors-High-Tech Sandwiches

Sometimes you do things automatically with little thought as to how you do them. Think about how you learned to ride a bicycle or how you learned to walk. You might have difficulty in recalling exactly what you did as you learned. Now you do both those things easily. Another task you might find quite easy is recognizing voices over the telephone or immediately associating a smell with some event that you remember. All these things would be difficult for a computer to do.

It is not that a computer could not be programmed to do difficult things. For example, the greatest human chess player in the world was defeated by a computer programmed to play chess. The game of chess involves complex problem solving. To be successful requires an awareness of the impact an immediate decision will have several steps later in the game.

Computer programmers were finally able to represent the decision-making steps of chess in a way that let a computer decide each move in a short amount of time. For a person, testing possible results of selected moves is difficult and time consuming. For a computer, this type of decision making is much easier.

You do many things each day without stopping to identify each step. You can dress without thinking about each move. You can walk from the front door of the school to your classroom with no difficulty. You can even make sandwiches. Or can you?

Activity

You are the owner of a new robot. Your robot hasn’t learned to do anything very useful yet and it is still very new to the world. Your robot will be of human size and shape. Your robot only understands a small set of instructions and, of course, isn’t able to think for itself. You will need to teach the robot to do the things you expect it to do.

Develop a set of instructions so your robot can follow the necessary steps to successfully make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Start by deciding what instructions you might need. Keep the list short and simple. Think of your robot as a very small child. Examples of the instructions in your “robot language” might include statements such as: open hand, close hand, grasp object, and scoop.

Your set of sandwich-making directions needs to be clear, concise, and readable by someone other than yourself. Keep the directions organized.
