Week 5 Introduce a New Community Program Adolescent alcohol and other drug problems are rampant in your small community. You are a licensed psychologist employed as a Human Resources Director at the largest employer in your community. As a contribution to the community, you have been asked to establish an alcohol and drug program. You want to select a program name that is professional, but that people will remember, and a description of services and clients who will be served, which is sufficiently broad to attract clients. Once it is open, you plan to hire certified drug and alcohol counselors. In the interim, you will be the director and only employee. Prepare an announcement with accompanying article for your local newspaper to introduce your alcohol and drug program. Reference your areas of expertise, your training, and any relevant experience. In your article, you must discuss fee schedules, payment options, and your policies regarding insurance billing. Include any other relevant information regarding the successful launch of your program while remaining in compliance with ethical standards. Be creative; include any visual aids, charts, or images you feel will enhance your article. This assignment is primarily an exercise in conforming pretend public statements (advertisements) to Standard Five of the Ethics Code, Advertising and Other Public Statements. Guidelines 1) The scenario begins by noting that your community has a problem with adolescent substance abuse. Therefore, make the program be one that is designed exclusively for adolescents with substance use problems, (and their families). 2) Since the community is small and the program will start as a one person operation, make it be an exclusively outpatient program. 3) The scenario states that you are both a licensed psychologist and the director of human resources. This is an unlikely combination of two unrelated professions. Therefore I suggest instead, that in the scenario you be the person in the company who provides employee assistance counseling. 4) Make up your credentials, as you wish they could be years from now. Note that Standard 5.02 lists a number of areas of credentials. In your assignment, include all of those areas of credentials. 5) Regarding the rates of charges, payment policies, and insurance, the idea here is that psychologists have the ethical obligation to inform, in advance, potential clients of the financial responsibilities of entering treatment.

In the meantime: In the meantime: 1) Avoid stimulants – Nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and refined sugar products are all stimulants, so using them when stressed will only prolong your state of stress. Instead, keep yourself well hydrated by drinking water or herbal teas. 2) Get a good night’s sleep – Bad sleep is both a cause and symptom of stress. Allow your body and mind to relax before bed by creating a wind-down routine. Prepare for a good night’s sleep by removing all stimulants and do something relaxing! 3) Listen to your body – Your body will tell you what it needs; it is important you tune in and listen. If you feel tired, hungry or thirsty, do something about it. 4) Learn to say ‘NO’ – Simple but effective. Negotiate a mutually agreeable outcome and when ‘no’ is the appropriate response, say it without guilt. 5) Take 5 – Take a break and calm down with a walk, flick through a magazine or listen to some music. Don’t continue with something if it’s driving you crazy, leave it for half hour and come back to it later with a fresh perspective. 6) Exercise your breathing – Sit or stand in a relaxed position Slowly inhale through your nose, counting to five Let the air out through your mouth, counting to eight Repeat several times. That’s it! As you breathe, let your abdomen expand outward, rather than raising your shoulders. This is a more relaxed and natural way to breathe, and helps your lungs fill themselves more fully with fresh air, releasing more ‘old’ air You can do this just a few times to release tension, or for several minutes as a form of meditation If you like, you can make your throat tighter as you exhale so the air comes out like a whisper. This type of breathing is used in some forms of yoga and can add additional tension relief 7) Organisational tips – Make a list of all the things that you need to do: List of them in order of genuine importance Noting what you need to do personally and what can be delegated to others Noting what needs to be done immediately, in the next week or next month or not at all! Create time buffers to deal with unexpected emergencies. 8) A problem shared is a problem halved – Speak to a friend, or family member about what is stressing you out. Sometimes just speaking to someone can help decrease your stress levels (although, it’s best to be mindful about others’ stress levels before sharing your challenges) If speaking to someone you know isn’t an option, “Mind” have created a great online community where you can safely share and be heard, as well as listen to others:http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/support-community-elefriends/ If you prefer speaking on a one to one basis with someone, we recommend calling the Samaritans on their 24hour phone line: 08457 90 90 90 9) Seek professional help – If you feel you’re at breaking point, visit your GP and ask about counselling. Seeking professional help isn’t admitting defeat or a sign of weakness; it’s merely using the resources around you to find a solution to a problem. Enquire if your employer has any support provisions in place such as an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) or access to a counselling service.

The Frankenstein Application Essay For this assignment you will write your Frankenstein1 application essay. You are required to submit only your final draft for this assignment though we encourage all students to take advantage of the additional feedback a draft can provide. Use grader feedback, along with the course lessons and your own ideas, to revise your optional draft prior to submitting the required final copy. Literary works like Frankenstein explore the “human condition” or experiences that humans encounter. The study guides for Frankenstein offer several “Real Life Considerations” meant to help you critically analyze the applications of the work’s themes in today’s world. Now, you will choose one of these topics and explore it using secondary resources to learn more about the novel and its relevant social topics. You might find information about social issues in familiar sources such as magazines, newspapers, or social science journals. Make sure your sources are credible—you do not want a random website or an encyclopedic website such as Wikipedia. 2 Your sources will preferably be a scholarly ones. Here are some ideas of places where you might find appropriate sources for this assignment:  Internet Public Library: http://www.ipl.org/  Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)  Microsoft Academic Search: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/  Cornell University’s arXiv (open access sources in math, biology, physics, and other fields): http://arxiv.org/  Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE): http://www.base-search.net/  Your local library Your thesis statement and paper must address both the literary qualities and the social issues as you evaluate the novel, Frankenstein. However, keep in mind, your essay does not have to answer ALL of the questions listed under each topic. Only answer the questions you feel are the most relevant to the thesis statement you choose. Develop your essay so it has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Ensure that each of your claims is supported with valid evidence from the novel, Frankenstein, and at least three other credible external sources. 3 Using proper MLA style, insert parenthetical citations and signal phrases for all borrowed information in addition to a Works Cited page for Frankenstein and your chosen external sources. You have several options for this assignment: 1 Remember to italicize titles of books. Thus, if you are referring to this book’s title, you should italicize it as Frankenstein. However, if you are talking about Frankenstein the character, it will not be italicized (e.g., Victor Frankenstein is the main character in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.) 2 Tip: Part of your grade will be assessed based on credibility of your sources. 3 Failure to use the minimum source requirement will constitute a severe point deduction. Option #1: Can science go too far? There is an ongoing battle between faith or spirituality and science that has been active even before the time of Mary Shelley. What are some of the dilemmas she addresses that are still important today? What are some of the ethical questions she brings up regarding the scientific definition of life and death? What does she illustrate about the power science has to blur the line between life and death? What is a current news item that is similar to this issue? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address ethical issues of science and/or faith for audiences, regardless of when they read the novel?” Option #2: Discovery Both Frankenstein and Walton are trying to discover something important to them. What parts of their real lives drive them to discovery? Does that drive still exist today? While we’ve mapped the globe, are there still geographical places for people to explore? In science, are people still trying to discover the meaning of life, how to save life, and how to defeat death? What methods do they use? Are there better ways to accomplish these goals than others? What are some of today’s motivations for discovery? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address human discovery as a theme?” Option #3: World Perception and Prejudice Reread the paragraph where the creature describes the book from which Felix teaches Safie. It begins: “The book from which Felix instructed Safie was Volney’s Ruins of Empires…” What are some of the perceptions and prejudices from the book that Felix teaches Safie? How have these perceptions and prejudices changed, if they have, in today’s society? What are some present day situations and references that may claim a lack of prejudice or an open-mindedness, but, in fact, are still very prejudiced, racist, sexist, etc.? Why do you think these situations still happen? Can anything be done about it? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address human prejudice in the world throughout time?” Option #4: Personal Perception It could be argued that the creature did not consider itself a monster and didn’t do awful things until people treated him like a monster. What are some real world instances in which people’s actions could be a reaction to abuse from others? Who do you feel is accountable in these situations? Why? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address the effect of peer perceptions on personal development?” Option #5: Death and Suicide At the end of the book, the creature promises to destroy himself. Is this a justifiable end for him? Could he have been redeemed? Would he have had a place in the world of Shelley’s novel? How could this relate to current-day issues like suicide or the death penalty? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address the value of an individual’s life and death?” Option #6: Nature vs. Nurture The creature argues that had someone properly guided him, he would not have been so wretched. Frankenstein4 argues that the creature was evil to begin with, so it would have been useless to teach him at all. What are some current debates – especially in education – where these kinds of arguments still arise? How much of behavior do you think is based on nature (how a person IS) and how much is based on nurture (what a person LEARNS or EXPERIENCES)? What examples from the present support your opinion? What do you feel is the truth? Why? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein address existing personality traits versus how a person is taught to act?” Option #7: Feminism The feminist perspective is often explored in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. How are the women characters treated in the novel? What perceptions of women did Shelley use and comment on? How did she handle the theme of motherhood? Hint: Develop a thesis that answers a question like this one: “How and how well does Mary Shelley incorporate responses to feminist issues into the novel, Frankenstein?” The guidelines for this assignment are as follows: 4 It is a common misperception that the creature is named Frankenstein. Keep in mind that the creature itself is not Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is the human protagonist in the novel. The creature, or monster, is Victor’s creation.
