Select three theories and/or response models that are used when working with survivors of critical incidents and that you think are particularly valuable.

/in /by

To understand effective service delivery in response to critical incidents, helping professionals must first understand theories of how individuals process crisis and models for responding to survivors. For example, being aware of the Childhood Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome can help sexual trauma practitioners conceptualize the cognitive processing of sexual abuse from the perspective of the child or adult survivor (Summit, 1992). Other theories include the eco-systemic theory (the effects of crisis affect more than just the survivor), the constructivist self-development theory (each individual constructs the meaning of his or her own traumatic event), and the resilience theory (the ability to recover from crisis events). Models provide techniques for working with crisis survivors, including but not limited to Psychological First Aid and suicide prevention models. Familiarity with theories and models related to crisis and crisis intervention provides important foundational knowledge that informs the effective response to survivors.
For this Assignment, select three theories and/or response models that are used when working with survivors of critical incidents and that you think are particularly valuable. To complete this assignment use the resources from module 3.
Briefly describe each of the theories/models you selected.
For each, explain its value in helping individual(s) who have experienced or are experiencing crisis, trauma, or disaster. Be specific and provide examples to illustrate your points.

Craft 10 sentences that reflect your understanding and application of the Mind, Self and Society excerpt.

/in /by

You are to read “20. Play, Game, and The Generalized Other” in “Part III: The Self.” This section can be found on pages 70-75 of this document. Cahill, S., Sandstrom, K. and Froyum, C. (8th ed.). Inside Social Life: Readings incraft 10 sentences that reflect your understanding and application of the Mind, Self and Society excerpt. and Microsociology. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

Sentence starters are a good, guiding exercise to help you engage with what can be a challenging text. You task is to craft 10 sentences that reflect your understanding and application of the Mind, Self and Society excerpt.
Your sentences must:
* be listed and numbered (this is not a response paper);
* reflect a thorough reading of the text, i.e. reference play, game and generalized other;
* incorporate direct quotations in at least 3 of the sentences; and,
* apply the theory to your own experiences/socialization in at least 2 of the sentences, i.e. what connections can you make between you and the theory.

George Herbert Mead’s Mind, Self and Society (1967) is a classic piece of social psychology. In this section, Mead traces the development of the “social self.”
As you read, consider how Mead defines/describes the following:
* Play stage (imitation of a role)
* Game stage (fully internalizing and taking on a role, understanding of interdependent relationship)
* Generalized Other (dominant norms, values and expectations)
The social self is, for him, the highest form of self as we start to understand that the world does not revolve around us—that we are part of a society, and are in an interdependent relationship with others.

Here are the main ideas:
* Play Stage (“I”): The key word is “imitation.” Think of children playing a game of Cops and Robbers. At this stage, a child will simply imitate their respective roles, and do so based on what they have observed from family, media, other experiences etc. They may put on the props and perform accordingly, but are not at the stage of fully recognizing the other person in the game. That is, they could be in opposite corners of a room performing their role without interacting with the other person.
* Game Stage (“Me”): Here, children more fully embody their role andrecognize the other. That is, in the game, cop cannot exist without robber, and robber cannot exist without cop. The relationship, they understand, is interdependent. Mead uses an excellent baseball analogy.
* Generalized Other (Society): The generalized other is essentially one big game stage! The generalized other is the internalization of dominate norms, values and expectations. Think about it: when you get on a crowded elevator, do you face the people already in the elevator, or do you turn and face the door?

Choose a place, institution, event, occurrence, tv show and “make it strange”

/in /by

Inspired by Horace Miners “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema” you are to engage in your own process of “making the familiar strange”. Choose a place, institution, event, occurrence, tv show and “make it strange”

the method is to approach something we all know and understand as if we were cultural outsiders and no preconceived understandings or context for what we were witnessing. Use colorful, descriptive language to paint a picture in the audiences mind.
