Problem-Solving Discussion Post

Discussion post –  1-3 paragraphs
This week, you read about different ways in which problem solving occurs. You also learned how factors (such as creativity, brain activation, or alcohol consumption) influence problem solving. Based on what you have learned, discuss contemporary problems that people in the real world face when problem solving as a result of human cognitive functioning. You might look at lifestyle problems (like lack of sleep) or biological issues (like changes in brain activation). Next, describe strategies that could be implemented to improve problem solving. Your discussion should be supported with findings from foundational theories of problem solving.

professional development

Reading: Choose a role that you take on as a professional and identify a “measure” that would allow you to assess your skills and continuing professional development needs for that role. This can be an informal measure or a listing from a text book or other resource that describes necessary skills for a particular role. A formal measure may be modified to help you assess your skill. Make reference to this measure as you address the discussion topic.

Discussion Question

How do you go about evaluating your work as a psychologist? What criteria are you using to evaluate the quality of your work? What skills do you reflect upon? Do you refer to your client goals and objectives to evaluate your work? How do you measure progress and success? Are there objective measurements you consider? Evaluating one’s work in terms of outcomes and procedures are part of what it means to be professional and helps us as lifelong learners to set goals for continuing skill development. How are you developing as a professional?

Function Based Intervention

Part 1:
Create a scatter plot for an identified behavior within your workplace, report your results, and explain any patterns that may exist. Your post should be a minimum of 500 words long and supported with appropriate scholarly references. As you create your scatter plot, pay attention to the following three objectives of the activity.
 

  1. You must use dimensions of ABA to evaluate whether interventions are behavior analytic in nature.
  2. You must select function-based interventions after addressing response effort, practitioner skills, contextual fit, practicality, treatment acceptability, and administrative support.
  3. You must describe assessment results and interventions in language appropriate for practitioners (i.e., without technical jargon, without mentalistic explanations).

Part 2:
How will the information in the attached PowerPoint presentation prove applicable to your work as a behavior analyst? How did this general discussion help broaden your understanding of the unit’s objectives? Be sure to support your reflection and observations with scholarly references, where applicable.

LASA: Therapeutic and Forensic Roles

LASA: Therapeutic and Forensic Roles

Assignment 2: LASA: Therapeutic and Forensic Roles

For many years, the ethical dilemma of playing both a therapeutic role and a forensic role has been debated in the literature. Some authorities argue that there is always a conflict of interest in such dual relationships, while other authorities argue that the two roles can be reconciled and impartiality can be maintained. Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, locate at least ten articles that discuss the therapeutic role and the forensic role and take a stance on this particular debate. Make sure that your collection of articles is balanced with regard to the roles and the viewpoints.
Tasks:
Utilize the ethical decision-making process you learned about in M1 Assignment 3 to create a 7- to 8-page argumentative paper supporting your stand. First, compare and contrast the roles, articulate the potential ethical conflicts, and discuss how those conflicts might be managed. Then, in a reasoned fashion, develop an argument for whether the two roles—therapeutic and forensic—should ethically coincide.
The course paper is essentially an argumentative essay. Refer to the following for guidelines about writing argumentative essays:
· Refer to this guide for tips about writing argumentative essays.
Ensure that you follow these instructions:
· Identify and articulate the similarities and differences between the therapeutic and forensic roles for both assessment and treatment.
· Articulate the potential ethical conflicts and discuss how those conflicts might be managed.
· Using multiple sources, defend your thesis on how and why therapeutic and forensic roles should or should not be reconciled.
· Be sure to address the issues of dual relationships as they apply to assessment as well as treatment.
· Ensure that you argue for a particular side of the issue (not arguing both sides) and that your argument is well-supported by scholarly literature, professional ethical guidelines, and the law.
· Include solid reasoning and a compelling thesis.
· Remember, a strong argument always supports its ideas and proves the other side wrong. Make sure to both support your views with credible arguments and sources and refute the other side.
Use proper grammar and spelling. Additionally, the paper should be written and formatted in APA style.
This LASA is worth 300 points and will be graded according to the following rubric.
