Lin Article Critique: Part 2 Dustin T. Rheel Liberty University Counseling 503, D22 Professor Carlene Taylor November 25, 2012 Critique of Population and Sampling In the Lin, Mack, Enright, Krahn, and Baskin article (2004) article, they sampled forty-three participants from various drug rehabilitation centers. These participants were suffering from alcohol and other drug dependences. Some of the participants were referred by the therapist and then the suggested participants then had the option to participate or not, thus making the sample used not random. Even though the sample was not random, they were randomly selected to be in one of 2 groups, Forgiveness Therapy (FT) or Alcohol and Drug Counseling (ADC) (Lin et al., 2004).
Disorder Paper PSYCH/575 November 7, 2011 Dr. Bar-Navon Disorder Paper This paper I will compare and contrast three therapeutic interventions used to treat PTSD, which will be cognitive-behavioral therapies, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) medications, and Acupuncture therapy. I will compare measures of effectiveness, such as validity, efficacy, symptom, and recidivism. Next I will identify what approach to treating PTSD I would use, and explain why. I will examine neurophysiological underpinnings of PTSD. Last, I will examine attitudes towards the three treatments I have selected.
Each team member shares information about their role and can highlight any problems or positives regarding the service user * Relationship with the service user. This is a one on one relationship. You have to listen and observe while delivering care. You have conversations and ask how they are and what they need.

The authors clearly point out the specific problem to be discussed and key terms are identified. Research is properly cited and current, relevant research is used as well. Direct quotations are used only when appropriate and are limited. Critique of Research Questions The researchers are trying to explore the connection between certain behaviors and emotions to the abuse of substances in clients. Precisely, the researchers are exploring the effects of the forgiveness therapy on these particular types of behavior such as anger and depression.
Some of the role dimensions included conducting psychiatric evaluations, differentiating psychiatric diagnoses from neurological or medical diagnoses. The third part of the questionnaire identifies activities that may have contributed to role competence. Each respondent indicated responses ranging from (not important) to (very important) based on a list of activities such as consulting with colleagues and reading professional literature and the extent to which they contribute to role competence (Alber et al.,
(Popik and Glick 2006). The basic effects of the Ibogaine treatment in addiction is separated into three distinctive categories; long term, intermediate and acute. The intermediate and the acute stages are sometimes also referred to as the after effects (Lotsof 1995). It has also been suggested that the drug may have considerable potential in the field of psychotherapy, particularly as a treatment for the effects of trauma (Maciulaitis
I try to be polite and friendly in order to create trust, people feel that you are approachable and tend to communicate better when they trust you. When communicating with the children I make sure that I am approachable, I feel that it is important to smile around the children as this can help them to feel comfortable around you. When communicating I need to make sure that I use the correct tone of voice. I like to get down to the child’s level so I don’t seem intimidating.

I think the humanistic-encouraging trait is important because like any other leader, people must trust you, set goals that are attainable, learn how to resolve issues in a constructive manner, and encourage your followers. I enjoy listening to people’s problems and helping them think positive and find the healthiest or best solution. I am normally the person my friends come to when they need to talk to someone. I believe as a manager a person must have a sense of how a person is and deal with each person individually if needed so each person as an understanding of what is the mission is. Controlling as a manager is something I believe I will have to work on.
Through therapy we can learn to balance this out and to develop the other qualities which are not so obvious. I will now describe and write about the 3 main personality models which would be used to assess a client I will then give examples of each from my own experience taken from my clients whilst others may be taken from my observations of friends and family. I will also explore how the models relate to each other and look at their differences. It’s important to remember that everybody is a unique individual and therefore there is no special formula to assess. The 3 models I will be exploring are: The Elements Clinical Personality Types Jungian Personality Types The Elements The elements model is a transpersonal map of qualities relating to the four elements Water, Air, Fire and Earth.
The Psychoanalysis Perspective Abstract. Sigmund Freud, the Father of Personality Psychology, highlights many theories in his writings. Most noted in this paper was the Psychoanalytic Perspective, which gives an in-depth view of determinism, the importance of conflict, early experience, infantile sexuality, and most illustrious the importance of unconscious motivation. This theory assumed that there exist three levels of consciousness in which the human mind functions. People did not come to accept his theory at first, but after much testing it was proven mostly valid and reliable.
