Therapeutic Intervention Project

Instructions
Each student will complete a 6–8-page paper that will briefly reiterate one of the theories and present how this theory was applied to the selected case. Each student is expected to diagnosis the mental disorder using DSM 5 criteria and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. The purpose of this assignment is to enable you to better understand that there are many approaches to trauma in social work. See the treatment plan format and grading. rubric (pages 13-14) for additional information. NO ecomaps or genograms unless in addition to the 6-8 pages and adds to the quality of the paper.

Each student will select a common specific treatment option in Trauma practice as outlined below or get approval for another topic by the professor:

  • Vagus Therapy
  • EMDR
  • Medication
  • Alternative care (Yoga, Mindfulness, Acupuncture, Nutrition)
  • The paper must address the following topics:
  • Page 1
  • Title Page

In APA style, your title page and abstract are separate pages. For your title page, your running head is slightly different. Before your title, include the words “Running head” and a colon. For the rest of this page, list your case study’s title, your first and last name and your university’s name. This information should be centered in the upper half of the page.

Background/Assessment Information
The first section of your paper will present your client’s background. Who is the client? Include factors such as age, gender, work, health status, family mental health history, family and social relationships, drug and alcohol history, life difficulties, cultural background, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, religion, occupation/grade level, marital/family status, education goals and coping skills and weaknesses.

Describe the observations that support each diagnosis if there are multiple. Be sure to cite evidence from your on-line research and from your textbook. Give rationale by using the facts to justify your definitions of the problem.

Treatment Intervention Plan
This section of your paper will focus on the intervention used to help the client. Please pick a particular theoretical approach and describe the following:

  • Historical Developments
    School or perspective (e.g., psychodynamic, behavioral, trait, etc.)

Conclusion

References
Following your text, you must supply a complete bibliographical list for your readers. In APA style, alphabetize the entries by the author’s last name. Most citations include four main parts: author’s name, date, title of the article and publication information. A general guideline for APA format is the author’s last name, a comma, first initial and a period. Next, place the year of publication within parentheses; place a period outside the final parenthesis. Type the title in italics and sentence case followed by a period. Finally, write the city of publication, a colon, the publisher’s name and end with a period.

Submission Requirements

How often do you approach a new challenge with a “can do” attitude? Often? Rarely? Never? Here’s a news flash: Thinking negatively often leads to failure. On the other hand, believing you can do something gives you a big advantage from the start. Why don’t people believe in themselves?

Discussion Exercise/Thought Process: If you think you can, you’re on the right track

Believing in yourself makes a big difference. And it’s a skill that you can learn and practice.

How often do you approach a new challenge with a “can do” attitude? Often? Rarely? Never? Here’s a news flash: Thinking negatively often leads to failure. On the other hand, believing you can do something gives you a big advantage from the start. Why don’t people believe in themselves?

How can you start to believe in yourself? Here are some strategies that can help:

1. When faced with a challenge, force yourself to stop thinking “I can’t.” Instead, re-program and re-state your thoughts to be positive. It takes practice, but it can make all the difference in the outcome.

2. Remind yourself of past successes. Give yourself credit for big and little things that go right.

3. Ask for help if you need it. Have a new task and don’t know how to handle it? Why guess? Instead, ask for help from a coworker (if it’s a work assignment) or trusted friend. Give yourself every chance to succeed. *Added to citation …ask for help from your instructor if it’s coursework.

Believing in yourself isn’t a magic trick ― it’s a work in progress for everyone.

Why might univariate factor tests not be sufficient to determine the factors in a fundamental model? Write the homework in a word file and attach the code.

R programming –finance

1. Based on Lab3a exercises, select three most significant factors from single variable regressions, and run a regression of returns on these three variables. Discuss the joint significance of these variables.

 

2. Based on Lab3b exercises, one can study the regression output and determine the significance of each factor. The following questions might help you in analyzing the regression output:

  • (a) Is marketcap significant? Can you explain the sign of the coefficient?
  • (b) Is price2cashflow significant? Can you explain the sign of the coefficient?
  • (c) Is price2earnings significant? Can you explain the sign of the coefficient?
  • (d) Is momentum significant? Can you explain the sign of the coefficient?

 

3. From the Lab3b data set, one can include a few additional factor exposures. For example, one might decide to include price2dividend instead of price2earnings, or roe instead of price2cashflow.

Estimate the fundamental factor model with log size, momentum, log price-to-book ratio based on fixed effects model with a. time fixed effects and b. time and firm fixed effects. Compare the estimates with the one we obtained above.

Strong Body Paragraphs

A strong body paragraph explains, proves, and/or supports your paper’s argumentative claim or thesis statement. If you’re not sure how to craft one, try using this handy guide!

1. INSERT A TOPIC SENTENCE:
Encapsulates and organizes an entire paragraph. Although topic sentences may appear anywhere in a paragraph, in academic essays they often appear at the beginning. When creating a topic sentence, ask yourself what‟s going on in your paragraph. Why you chosen to include the information you have? Why is the paragraph important in the context of your argument or thesis statement? What point are your trying to make? It should be noted that relating your topic sentences to your thesis can help strengthen the coherence of your essay. If you include an argumentative claim or thesis statement in your introduction, then think of incorporating a keyword from that statement into the topic sentence. But you need not be overly explicit when you echo the thesis statement. Better to be subtle rather than heavy-handed. Do not forget that your topic sentence should do more than just establish a connection between your paragraph and your thesis. Use a topic sentence to show how your paragraph contributes to the development of your argument by moving it that one extra step forward. If your topic sentence merely restates your thesis, then either your paragraph is redundant or your topic sentence needs to be reformulated. If several of your topic sentences restate your thesis, even if they do so in different words, then your essay is probably repetitive. Although most paragraphs should have a topic sentence, there are a few situations when a paragraph might not need a topic sentence. For example, you might be able to omit a topic sentence in a paragraph that narrates a series of events, if a paragraph continues developing an idea that you introduced (with a topic sentence) in the previous paragraph, or if all the sentences and details in a paragraph clearly refer—perhaps indirectly—to a main point. The vast majority of your paragraphs, however, should have a topic sentence.

2. EXPLAIN YOUR TOPIC SENTENCE:
Does your topic sentence require further explanation? If so, add another 1-2 sentences explaining your topic sentence here.
