Policy Issues Submitted By Jaclyn M. Peluso March 23, 2015 Submitted To Darrell Cook CJA/314 Faculty University of Phoenix Intimate partner violence (IPV), better known as domestic violence (DV), affects many children in the United States.

utilized multiple methods to collect data from the participants. The following are the tests utilized in this study to obtain relevant information from participants; EFI, BDI-II, CSEL, STAI, SSTAEL, and the Vulnerability to drug scale (2004). Lin et al., did provided adequate information on the assessment tools utilized and their importance to the study (2004). The article also mentioned that the Vulnerability to drug scale was given inside the treatment facility possibly allowing for unreliable data collected for the study. Since the assessments were not given anonymously it is possibly that individuals were influenced with their responses creating a bias in the results of the assessments (Lin et al., 2004).
In the documentary they also displayed the terrible Columbine shooting that occurred in which two teens took many lives and one of them was on prescription drugs as well. It’s just crazy; I don’t think that just because a child is displaying acts of being hyper or just being a kid should not mean that they should be labeled as a child with ADD or ADHD and pretty much force them to take these drugs that have extreme side effects. The Neurologist Fred Baugman even said himself how frightening it is that kids those days were easily diagnosed with ADHD especially by school
907-928. Topic This paper focuses on the aftermath of domestic and family violence and investigates the impact this violence has on children and their primary carers. In conjunction with this study, the author questions the 2006 reforms to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (‘FLA’). Alexander’s premise is that the reforms have done little to adequately resolve the issues for the victims and in some cases have made matters worse. Many victims continue to experience violence long after the court proceedings have finished.
Running Head: RESEARCH REPORTING ANALYSIS: CHILDREN’S DEPRESSION INVENTORY Research Reporting Analysis: Children’s Depression Inventory Holly Squires University of Phoenix Research Reporting Analysis: Children’s Depression Inventory Depression had been regarded as an adult disorder until the 1970s. At that time, however, experts learned that this disorder also occurs in children. Depending on the child’s age, the symptoms of depression are expressed differently. Because of the ambiguous symptoms of depression in children, and other contributing factors in the difficulties in diagnosing the illness, the Child’s Depression Inventory (CDI) was developed.

Web. 11 June 2012. Judith Warner wrote an articled titled “Parents Created This Problem, and Must Address It,” where she tackles the continually dangerous and rising issue of students who are using drugs to make them focus in school and on school work. The drugs being abused are most commonly Ritalin and Adderall, which is medication prescribed to people with A.D.H.D., but however are being used by a countless number of students.

What’s Wrong with This Picture? Psychologist at times will use a test call the Rorschach Inkblot Test to assess personality and mental illnesses of people.

For instance; we are able to learn how stereotypes are formed, why there is racism, and also how a person’s behavior changes in different types of situations. Social psychology differs from other forms of psychology because it uses a scientific method and the empirical study of social phenomenon. General and clinical psychologies both rely on anecdotal observations and subjective interpretations. Psychologists focus on different situations and the different variables that may affect social behavior. Sociology differs from social psychology because sociology specifically looks at the different social behaviors and the surrounding influences at more of a broader view.
