Write a theoretical framework for the chapter one about Therapy Dogs in reducing anxiety in ADHD students. There is a draft of Chapter One already created. The theoretical framework is based on the draft which needs to be revised and the right questions created
Overview
To what extent are all people prejudiced? Social Psychologists argue that prejudice is best explained by situational factors, such as social norms, and competition for resources. In contrast, Cognitive Psychologists emphasize the role of cognitive processes that all people use all the time. As Paul Bloom suggests in the video below, thinking of prejudice as a natural consequence of how humans process information can allow us to better understand how to combat the harmful effects of prejudice. This discussion board explores this idea. You may find information from 5.6 Prejudice and Altruism and the idea of heuristics and automatic processing from 5.8 Problem solving will help with this assignment.
Instructions:
Respond to the prompt
Watch Paul Bloom’s TED talk (above), then respond to one of the prompts below. Your response should provide enough detail to show that you have watched the video, understand what Bloom is suggesting, and have come up with your own opinion on the topic. Note that you don’t have to agree with Bloom, you just need to understand what he is saying and critically evaluate the evidence he uses to support his ideas. Please respond carefully and thoughtfully to just one of the prompts rather than giving a brief answer to all three prompts. Your answer needs to be in your own words. As a rule of thumb, in a complete answer to the prompt you should be writing at least six sentences.
Option 1: Bloom asserts that prejudice is a natural result of human cognitive processes. Describe at least one piece of evidence that he uses to support this idea. Do you agree or disagree with his assertion? Explain your position and give evidence to support your argument.
OR
Option 2: Bloom’s talk is titled “Can prejudice ever be a good thing?” suggesting that there are times when prejudice a rational, adaptive form of decision making. Give examples of times when the thought processes that cause prejudice can be helpful, or provide a counterargument to Blooms assertion.
OR
Option 3: How might understanding the cognitive processes that lead to prejudice help us avoid making prejudiced judgments that are harmful or hurtful? Describe what you can do personally to become more aware of your prejudices and change your thought patterns.
Turn in your initial response to one of the above prompts by the indicated due date , so that you will have time to read and respond to your classmates’ posts.
Bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism (BDSM) practices range from mild to wild. Although most people engage in relatively mild activities, should people be permitted to carry out their desires no matter what? Is there a line that can be crossed and, if so, where do you draw that line?

Write an essay addressing these questions.
Give at least two examples to support your conclusion.
Which do you think is more important: a therapist’s behaviors (what he/she says and does on a technical level) or a therapist’s style and approach (the way in which he/she provides psychological services)? Why? Does your opinion vary based on situation, disorder, or client?
Pick a type of either behavioral or cognitive therapy and explain it. Include the interventions, the role of the therapist, and what the research says about the effectiveness of this method. What is your opinion on the therapy you chose? Is it something that you would recommend to a friend or family member? Why or why not?
The DSM is the most widely used diagnostic system for psychological disorders in the United States, and its quality has improved across editions. However, it has several weaknesses. What do you see as the greatest strengths and weaknesses of the DSM 5? What do you think would improve the DSM further?
You are a therapist in a group private practice and a colleague has developed an innovative psychotherapy for depression. She knows she needs to test the therapy to see if it is effective and she tells you that she is considering researching the efficacy of her treatment with her own patients. What ethical issues should she be concerned about? (Nagy, 2010). Make sure to reference specific sections of the APA Ethics Code (principles and standards) that might apply in this situation.
Numerous “psychological assessments” are available for free on the internet. What cautions should you take when completing these measures and reading the results or feedback they provide?
“When discussing paraphilias, it is useful to distinguish between having a paraphilia and having a paraphilic disorder (Blanchard, 2010a). Historically, psychologists and psychiatrists have viewed virtually all paraphilias as disordered behavior; in the DSM-5, however, a distinction has been made between unusual sexual interests that are relatively harmless and those that are actively harmful” (Lehmiller, 2017).

Step 1: Take a moment to think about the direct quotation above, this will be the focal point of your paper, think critically about this as you write your essay.
Step 2: Write your reflection essay. Place the quote at the top of your paper, below the title. Follow the quote by a line space. On the next line begin the body of your paper. In 300 to 400 words ( in meaningful, well organized paragraphs) defend your belief that there is an important truth or lesson, to be gleaned from this quotation. Essentially, your job is to clarify what the lesson to be learned is and to then strongly (and thoughtfully) defend why you think the lesson is vital.
To help you think about your topic and to write a well-organized essay, consider (and answer) these questions:
• What truth or lesson is being communicated by this quote?
• Why is this truth or lesson so important?
• How do your, or other’s, experiences and observations relate to and support this truth or lesson?
• In what ways does this lesson make logical sense to you?
• In what ways does this lesson make emotional sense to you?
• How might this lesson be relevant to your, or others’, life and career?
• Why do some fail to live as if this truth or lesson were important?
• Why might some suggest this truth or lesson is not important?
• How would you defend the truth of this lesson from those who disagree and believe the lesson is not important?
• What can we do (at an individual, community, or society) to make this truth or lesson better recognized or practiced?
In the writing of your essay, present your answer to these questions in a sequence of well-developed paragraphs (not bullet points).
You are encouraged to be creative in your reflections. Your reflections may include, when pertinent, links to media, pictures, or other supporting resources.
Step 3: Write a Discussion Question that Would Prompt Further Dialog on the Topic. End your reflection essay with a line space and then post a single, relevant, provocative, open-ended question that you believe would prompt further debate and reflection by readers on the topic addressed in your essay.
