...TrTreating Lindsay Lohan 1 Treating Lindsay 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...

...Selecting a media agency In association with: Selecting a media agency INTRODUCTION Whatever their size and experience, advertisers strive for quality, performance and productivity in all disciplines; and media strategy/media buying are no exception. In any discipline, questioning its process may occur at certain times in the lifecycle of an organisation, and this may lead to a media pitch. Over the past years, media planning and buying have come through many changes. Communication groups have turned their media departments into specialised companies and independent media buying shops have strengthened their skills and strategic capabilities. The companies are no longer mere buying points but real media agencies: their competencies have broadened to better meet advertisers’ needs. Today, advertisers face a highly concentrated and sophisticated media agency market, whose players have a high degree of professionalism. Selecting a business partner in this area is therefore a critical step for both the advertiser and the agency, and from both a strategic and financial perspective. In this context, this guide aims at helping advertisers and agencies to work together in an informed manner, focusing on quality and performance in their relationships. We propose methods, from defining the objectives to fine-tuning the contractual arrangements, which will allow the advertiser and its media agency to build a new relationship on solid grounds. Rather than identifying the “best”...

...HAND TEST DR. EDWARD E. WAGNER HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT • The first scientific attempts in relating the hand to personality developed out of the study of the body types (asthenic/thin; atheletic/ muscular; pyknic/ stocky) by Ernst Kretschmer in 1931. o BODY TYPES--- TRAITS( PSYCHOPATHOLOGIES ▪ PYKNIC: friendly ( depressive ▪ ASTHENIC: timid, introverted ( schizophrenic • Charlotte Wolff (1943) studied certain characteristics of the hand and handedness and derived a practical method of the hand interpretation based on the studied characteristic. o The Hand in Psychological Diagnosis (1951) considers the significance of endocrinological dysfunction, its psychological effects and chirological manifestations & outlines how and why the hand reflects temperament and personality. • The first empirical research was a report by Carmichael, Roberts and Wessell (1937) which showed that , to some degree, emotions can be encoded in and decoded from dynamic body movements, gait, and manual gestures. • The Hand Test was originated by E. Wagner in 1958 and was primarily used to differentiate normal from schizophrenic. • In 1962, Bricklin Protowski and Wagner published a monograph with an initial rationale and scoring for the Hand Test. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK • Hand Test was developed to meet the general criteria for a projective test and also to be easily classified for empirical examination ...

...are aimed at examining and assessing the mental status and mental functional ability of a client. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of two tests of symptom severity and two tests of functional impairment. The tests of symptom severity are the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms (SIRS-2). The functional impairment tests are the Ohio Functional Assessment Battery (OFAB) and the Burns Brief Inventory of Communication and Cognition. Comparing and analyzing these tests will allow for the choosing of which test is the most appropriate for a client who have exhibited several different symptoms that indicates a possible presence of dementia, or a related cognitive deficit. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) Folstein, Folstein, McHugh & Fanjiang (2001) describes the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) as “a brief, individually administered measure mental state, which is an assessable measure of cognitive status in adults.” The purpose of the MMSE is use to screen patients and determine if there’s an existence of cognitive impairment, and if so, what severity of cognitive impairment is exhibited at any given point in time. The MMSE follows the course of cognitive changes in a patient throughout the treatment period and also allows a psychologist who is treating the patient to document the patient’s response to such treatment. The intention of the MMSE is to help psychologists in carrying...

...Running head: A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Therapy Brandon Carpenter Liberty Theological Seminary Abstract The paper discusses the brief counseling approach to crisis intervention as utilized by the author. After a crisis is defined and determined, the author uses a short-term counseling methodology adapted from the ABC model as introduced in Kristi Kanal’s text. The counseling pedagogy blends the elements of the ABC model with biblical principles which may be used by the Christian counselor for the purpose of short-term crisis management. A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Counseling Every believer in Jesus Christ is called to a ministry of encouraging and helping others, especially to other brothers and sisters in the faith whose lives have been encroached upon by a crisis. Many times the abundant life that was promised by Jesus is disrupted when a crisis presents itself. Although every believer can experience the joy of their salvation through the ministry of the Holy Spirit which inwardly resides in them, Christians are not exempt from the distress and vulnerability that crises are capable of producing. Counseling, which is bathed in prayer and which appropriately uses and applies the Word of God, is an essential responsibility of Christian life and fellowship. Moreover, various intervention models and presuppositions are available...

...Ed., M.A., LPC, CAC Diplomate Research is increasingly finding that the type of therapy used is not as important to outcomes as are specific counselor behaviors such as (1) Enthusiasm, (2) Confidence, (3) Belief in the client’s ability to change. Although there is nothing which will ensure change, it would appear that clients are more likely to achieve their goals when a good and positive relationship exists between them and their therapist. In essence the counselor’s interactions with the client are a powerful tool in the helping relationship. 1. Listening 1. a. Attending - orienting oneself physically to the client (client) to indicate one is aware of the client, and, in fact, that the client has your full, undivided attention and that you care. Methods include eye contact; nods; not moving around, being distracted, eye contact, encouraging verbalizations; mirroring body postures and language; leaning forward, etc. Researchers estimate that about 80 percent of communication takes place non-verbally. 2. 3. b. Listening/observing - capturing and understanding the verbal and nonverbal information communicated by that client. Two primary sources of information: 1. • CONTENT - what is specifically said. Listen carefully for, not only what a person says, but also the words, expressions and patterns the person is using, which may give you a deeper insight. Counselors should develop their ability to remember what was said, as well as to clarify...

...advertising campaign and are the people who are in charge of the relationship with the client. Strategic planning is another section. The role of the strategic planners is to represent the consumer within the agency. They are responsible for developing the key strategic insight which lies behind the advertising idea. Media planning and media buying are another two popular avenues in which employment is available within advertising. The job of a media planner is to map how to connect the consumer to the creative idea and take a brief from the client that highlights the message that they want to communicate to the consumer, while media buyers buy the “connections” between the consumer and the creative idea. The creative section of an agency is where the planning for an advertisement campaign happens. This is where the copywriters and art directors work. Creative services and production is where art and creativity meet commerce and reality and is where the advertisement campaigns are made and get paid for. The responsibilities that you would have as a strategic planner would of course be to represent the consumer within the advertising agency. A strategic planner is in charge of developing the key strategic insight which lies behind the entire advertising idea. They need to get under the skin of the consumer and understand as much as possible about them. To achieve this they have to work closely with the client to research the market, use and commission quantitative data as well as more...
