...Careers In Psychology BEH/225 April 15, 2015 Elizabeth Brook Morford Careers in Psychology In looking at the different types of work you might choose in the field of psychology, I would probably go with either Social Worker or Sports Psychologist. A few of the things that interest me about these two options would be; Social workers help individuals obtain perceptible services, provide counseling to individuals and families, and work to improve social and health services in the public. Sports psychology is a fairly new branch of psychology. Sports psychologists work with athletes struggling to overcome psychological blocks that hamper their athletic performance. I think this would be a great career for anyone that loves sports and would be interested in helping athletes reach their full potential. Job Description and areas of work for a Social Worker: Social workers are employed in a wide assortment of settings. For example, they may practice in community mental health services where they provide individual and family counseling or help facilitate adoptions and foster care placement. Social workers are also found in hospitals, schools, social service agencies, and correctional facilities. The setting in which a social worker is employed will likely depend on the individual’s area of specialization. Some areas that a Social Worker may be found would be; clinical work, child welfare and/or family services, child protective services, or maybe just working in a school as...

...Waterman, whose best-selling book on corporate excellence exhorts, Treat people as adults. Treat them as partners: treat them with dignity; treat them with respect. Treat them - not capital spending and automation - as the primary source of productivity gains… In other words, if you want productivity and the financial reward that goes with it, you must treat your workers as your most important asset (1982). In general, counseling services for employees can be divided into two major categories, namely, those dealing with personal problems and those dealing with career development. The employee counseling programs that deal with personal problems will focus on employees’ mental and physical health and deal with personal problems that might, even indirectly, affect job performance. Those that deal with career development programs will use assessment, counseling, planning, and training to help individuals make and act on career decisions within the context of the organization’s human resources plans. Each of the two approaches is built on the theory that individual and organizational needs can be compatible (Lewis & Lewis, 1986). Background of the Study It is estimated that the Philippines, in experiencing an astounding pace of development and as it maintains its current growth rate of 8.5% per annum, will become an industrialized nation in the year 2020....

...Examining United States Military Culture from a Civilian Perspective Greg G Jacobs Albizu University This paper is put forth as a cursory examination of the culture of the United States Military from the perspective of an individual intending to work as a therapist or mental health counselor with current or former members of the military and their families. Although it is very important to think of every individual as unique unto themselves, there are shared customs, traditions, traits, beliefs, needs, and, challenges, common to members of the military culture. It is believed that in exploring these common items one can be of greater assistance in our supporting role to military members, families and ultimately the military’s mission. This author hopes to cover several topics that relate directly to the culture of the U.S. Military and therapists intending to work with this population. These topics include emotions, themes of isolation and alienation, the stigma associated with getting help, multiculturalism and how it relates to these individuals, honor, demographics of the new all-volunteer service, reasons people join the military, authoritarian families, parental absences, allegiance to the military mission, military hierarchal structure, and the defining features of the Fortress (secrecy, stoicism, and denial). Concepts of Military Culture “The whole culture of the military is that you don’t talk about feelings or emotions” (Marshal, 2006, p...

...this paper is to investigate and to report how on-line therapy is currently being implemented in treatment today. I will be looking at three different current services and how they are regulated, how they are implemented, security issues, ethical issues, and treatment facilitation. In my opinion on-line therapy offers some unique advantages both for the client and the therapist. There are however some considerations in regards to distance, such as therapy being provided across state or national boundaries, being able to maintain a secure environment as well as a loss of some valuable to cues in reading and evaluating the client.

...issue was the impact of following up on the Arizona State mandated Educational Career Action Plans, (ECAP) and how this increased emphasis on career planning will impact surveys of graduates at Holbrook High School. Action Inquiry Course: EDA 555 Statement of the Problem What must be done to raise student and family awareness of the importance of post-secondary planning? Holbrook High School has taken on the challenge of raising student and parental awareness of the reality of today’s economy – a high school diploma is not enough. To raise awareness of the importance of planning for college career readiness post- high school, HHS has attempted to develop a stronger career planning component. Relation of the Problem to the Specialization In examining the legal issues related to post-secondary planning and career readiness, effort must be made to address the State of Arizona’s mandate on College and Career Readiness, the school district’s policies, and the ramifications for federally funded schools that do not meet the State’s required Education and Career Action Plan, (ECAP). The specialization of this particular class is legal issues in education, and the legal issues associated with AZCCRS and ECAP relate directly to the funding consequences of schools that do not address these mandated issues Background and Context for the Problem Educators must now be able to prepare students for careers that may not yet exist.

...People who have an interest in improving the lives of others work through tough life circumstances may want to contemplate a profession in social work. There are several different ways that social workers can help people. Not only do they offer help, but they also give people the knowledge to learn how to help themselves (Discover Social Work). I have chosen this career path because I love being the person to make a difference in someone’s life in any way that I can to help them. Many people think of social workers as just being those workers at their local Department of Human Services offices that removes a person’s children from their homes, but you may actually find social workers working in law enforcement departments, schools, mental health clinics and military facilities. This field is open to many opportunities and there are various steps to take if someone is in preparation for a career in social work. When a person is considering a career in social work they must first self-evaluate themselves to see if they are of good moral character; in other words, are they doing it for the right reasons, because in this field, you are responsible for the lives and livelihood of others. Social workers must be compassionate and considerate of others and all situations. “The social work profession has its own body of knowledge, code of ethics, practice standards, credentials, state licensing, and a nationwide system of accredited education programs (National Association of Social Workers)...

...leads patients to realign their thinking with reality” (Ottens & Hanna, 1998, p.312). CBT allows the client and counselor to work alongside each other to promote healthy lifestyle changes, while an existentialist views understanding the client by means of studying the person’s “world in detail and depth” (Ottens & Hanna, 1998, p.315). Existentialist view the person through a philosophical lense, acknowledging that clients have complete freedom within their capabilities, basic emotional reactions to the realities of life, and the struggle that clients face understanding the role and responsibility they have regarding their own lives (Halbur & Halbur, 2011, p.64-65). Person-centered therapy focuses on self-actualization, using the “self” as motivation to promote change and assist the client in achieving their potential by removing what hinders them. Understanding the theoretical contributions of individuals who paved the way for social workers such as myself encourages my individualized focus on what I believe will lead to successful therapeutic relationships between myself and my clients. It is important to focus on understanding how these theoretical models shape my personal and professional contributions to the field by evaluating my worldview, value system, and personality. An additional benefit of understanding theoretical models as they apply to my professional career is identifying experiences within my life that may influence the models I find most resourceful to my client-base...

...Lohan [Your Name] Treating Lindsay Lohan Executive Summary 2 Celebrities are often unprepared for the prestige and wealth that they acquire. Many adopt self destructive behaviors, including substance abuse and disrespect for the law. Such behaviors pose a risk to the celebrity as both an individual and professional. A growing trend has been for celebrities’ management companies to require celebrities to accept a certain level of intervention or face cancellation of their contracts. This study examines the case of Lindsay Lohan. Lohan has exhibited exactly the behaviors listed above, and, as a result has not only damaged her career, but also acquired a criminal record (Heger 2014). This study combines an abstract discussion of celebritycentric treatment approaches with a discussion specific to what might be done to mitigate Lohan’s career self immolation. Celebrity Parameters Celebrities often lead very busy lives. In addition to their work, which may consist of activities such as musical performance tours or shooting motion pictures, they may also lead rather frenetic social lives. Celebrities are also very much under the “social microscope”their fans want to know every detail of their life. The journalists who cover celebrities know that even a minor infraction, such as a parking ticket can be made into a very interesting story whereas acts of kindness and professionalism, such as taking the time to speak to a disabled fan, are not. Given these considerations, the majority...

...look at what’s in store when the 112th Congress takes over in January. ESEA Déjà Vu The congressional year ends essentially where it began with regard to the most significant piece of federal education legislation, which is more than three years beyond its expiration date. That isn’t for a complete lack of trying. The past year saw increasing clarity from the Obama administration about its education reform priorities. The March release of A Blueprint for Reform (PDF) outlined the president’s vision for Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) reauthorization, from ensuring that all students are college and career ready to providing great teachers and leaders in every school. Congress responded by scheduling hearings on ESEA reauthorization, including a Senate hearing that focused on how to support the whole child. Clare Struck, a guidance counselor from Malcolm Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls, Iowa (the 2010 Whole Child Vision in Action winner), testified at this hearing on ASCD's behalf. Late in the summer, the House and Senate education committees began developing draft reauthorization language. Such efforts, however, fell prey to a contentious election cycle and, ultimately, neither chamber introduced a reauthorization bill. The Never-Ending FY11 Budget Situation In early February the Obama administration submitted its FY11 budget request to Congress, which called for a $3.5 billion increase in discretionary...

...Helen Keller's Family Helen Adams Keller was born a healthy child in Tuscumbia, Alabama, on June 27, 1880. On her father's side she was descended from Colonel Alexander Spottswood, a colonial governor of Virginia, and on her mother's side, she was related to a number of prominent New England families. Helen's father, Arthur Keller, was a captain in the Confederate army. The family lost most of its wealth during the Civil War and lived modestly. After the war, Captain Keller edited a local newspaper, the North Alabamian, and in 1885, under the Cleveland administration, he was appointed Marshal of North Alabama. When Helen Keller Met Anne Sullivan At the age of 19 months, Helen became deaf and blind as a result of an unknown illness, perhaps rubella or scarlet fever. As Helen grew from infancy into childhood, she became wild and unruly. As she so often remarked as an adult, her life changed on March 3, 1887. On that day, Anne Mansfield Sullivan came to Tuscumbia to be her teacher. Anne was a 20-year-old graduate of the Perkins School for the Blind. Compared with Helen, Anne couldn't have had a more different childhood and upbringing. The daughter of poor Irish immigrants, she entered Perkins at 14 years of age after four horrific years as a ward of the state at the Tewksbury Almshouse in Massachusetts. She was just 14 years older than her pupil Helen, and she too suffered from serious vision problems. Anne underwent many botched operations at a young age before...
