...of skimming often provides an understanding of the basic contents and of the paper's form or structure. Another method of faster reading is to choose just one or two of the samples that are most like the paper you will be required to write; then read, either fully or using skim reading as described here. Unless otherwise noted, sample papers do not necessarily meet all requirements an individual instructor or professional supervisor may have: ask your instructor or supervisor. In addition, the samples single spaced to save room; however, a proper manuscript given to an instructor or supervisor normally should be double spaced with margins set at or close to 1" unless another format has been requested. SPECIAL NOTES: This sample case study uses the "Patient-Symptoms-Plan" structure of organization and is a type of paper meant more for reporting on or studying an individual patient or client.

...Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse Shobila Kaligounder Marymount University Introduction As per UNICEF’s (2014) definition, sexual violence against children comprises any sexual activities imposed by an adult on a child against which the child is entitled to protection by criminal law. This includes: (a) The inducement or coercion of a child to engage in any unlawful or psychologically harmful sexual activity; (b) The use of children in commercial sexual exploitation; (c) The use of children in audio or visual images of child sexual abuse; and (d) Child prostitution, sexual slavery, sexual exploitation in travel and tourism, trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation (within and between countries), sale of children for sexual purposes and forced marriage. Sexual activities are also considered as abuse when committed against a child by another child if the offender is significantly older than the victim or uses power, threat or other means of pressure. Consensual sexual activities between children are not considered as sexual abuse if the children are older than the age limit defined by the State Party. In spite of a clear definition for child sexual abuse violence in the lives of children is so real and as an international community we do very little to protect them. There is also a dearth of data to prove the prevalence of violence due to the hidden nature of the abuse and gives a false notion that it is a rare occurrence. Children are vulnerable to sexual victimization...

...Case Studies/ Briefing Paper Pages 1 , to 3 are adapted from: Cameron S, (2002), Business Student’s Handbook, Prentice Hall, Essex We are going to look at how to use a case study to solve a problem. However this format can also be used to create a briefing paper for a potential client. Why are they important ? Case studies bridge the gap between learning and work situations in which you will be applying that learning. Pioneered by Havard Law School and then used on their MBA course in 1869, they have been seen as a valuable teaching tool. What is a case study? It usually consists of a written description of a situation faced by or within an organisation. A case study may be a brief outline of a scenario or 100 or more pages of closely written description and including company accounts, sales figures and other relevant information. Some studies are fictional and some based on real-life situations. Cases can: • Broaden your awareness of organisational situations • Give you something on which to practice concepts you have learned • Provide a useful basis for assessment • Develop group-working skills • Highlight assumptions about organisations and how people should or should not behave Warning! Remember a case study is the author’s impression of reality and is subject to bias. Therefore be prepared to look beyond the case study. Problems that may arise • Deciding what is needed – what are you meant to be doing • Working...

I would also like to thank the lecturer of this course, Ruth Casey, for all of her input and advice. Introduction Hereafter, I will discuss my participation in this endeavour in the third person, as the “researcher”. The researcher’s choice was to conduct a study of RehabCare in Carlow; and through the process of investigation in this organisation, an attempt was made to answer one main question, and two related sub-questions. Main Question: • How successful is RehabCare in Carlow with their Person Centred Planning (PCP) approach to client care? Two sub-questions: • What is the attitude of RehabCare to the concept of empowerment, and how does it fit into the implementation of the PCP process in Carlow RehabCare? • To what extent does PCP at RehabCare contribute to the underlying goal of greater social inclusion? The researcher discovered through the process that the word...

...Counseling Theories Final Project Anastasia Page Capella University Culture can have a major effect on what is defined as normal and abnormal. Behaviors that are considered different from what is considered to be the norm could be deemed as abnormal and unusual. It isn’t common for a culture to immediately label a behavior that is not accustomed to their culture as being abnormal behavior because it is defying the social norms of that culture. However, abnormal behavior cannot and should not be defined based on the social norms of a culture because what is abnormal in one culture may be normal in another (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008). Abnormalities are defined as behaviors based on criteria of impairment, inefficiency, deviance or subjective distress by American psychologists (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008). Due to their being advantages and disadvantages with each of those criteria categories, culture has also been included as a criterion to consider abnormal behavior. Cultures have their expectations of behaviors whether abnormal or normal. Normal behaviors are those that are considered acceptable, while abnormal behaviors are deemed unacceptable. The criteria for what is considered normal varies from culture to culture and what may be considered normal in one culture could be abnormal in another (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008). For instance, in America it may be considered normal that a girl would want to be play with a group of boys in middle school. However, in Palestine...

...university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases and soon afterwards got to his fiancée Martha Bernays, who came from a well-known Jewish family in Hamburg. In 1888, Freud started using hypnotism in his practice. But, later he dropped it and started using a method, which was being used by Dr. Josef Breuer. The method was based on the assumption that hysteria was a product of psychical trauma, which had been long forgotten by the patient,...

...There are many definitions of facilitation, and for me, Larkins (2014) is very simplistic: Group facilitation is an important management skill that can really help a team achieve their goals in the most effective and constructive manner. The role of the facilitator is to help the group make progress and find their own solution in the easiest and most effective way. I will be looking at two cases of group facilitation undertaken during our recent module. In the first case (Case A), as a group we were tasked to agree upon a plan for a fictional charity in order to ‘generate more income’. In the second case (Case B), the group were tasked to come up with a solution to a specific issue concerning a member (issuer) of the group. In both cases, my role was that of being a set member. There are many facets to the role of being a facilitator and the International Association of Facilitators (IAF, 2003) has six core competencies, namely: Create Collaborative Client Relationships Plan Appropriate Group Processes Create and Sustain a Participatory Environment Guide Group to Appropriate and Useful Outcomes Build and Maintain Professional Knowledge Model Positive Professional Attitude The plethora of literature on facilitation looks at how important the following are: building relationships between the facilitator and the group, appropriate planning, ensuring the right environment, specific outcomes and goals, maintaining professional knowledge as well as being in tune with your...

...your ideas. rhetorical modes The ways in which we effectively communicate through language. 1.1 The Purpose of Narrative Writing Narration means the art of storytelling, and the purpose of narrative writing is to tell stories. Any time you tell a story to a friend or family member about an event or incident in your day, you engage in a form of narration. In addition, a narrative can be factual or fictional. A factual story is one that is based on, and tries to be faithful to, actual events as they unfolded in real life. A fictional story is a made-up, or imagined, story; the writer of a fictional story can create characters and events as he or she sees fit. However, the big distinction between factual and fictional narratives is based on a writer’s purpose. The writers of factual stories try to recount events as they actually happened, but writers of fictional stories depart from real people and events because the writers’ intents are not to retell a real-life event. Biographies and memoirs are examples of factual stories, whereas novels and short stories are examples of fictional stories. narrative writing The art of telling stories. factual...

...Chapter Four Professional Accounting in the Public Interest, Post-Enron Purpose of the Chapter When the Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom debacles triggered the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), a new era of stakeholder expectations was crystallized for the business world and particularly for the professional accountants that serve in it. The drift away from the professional accountant’s role as a fiduciary to that of a businessperson was called into question and reversed. The principles that the new expectations spawned and renewed resulted in changes in how the professional accountants are to behave, what services are to be offered, and what performance standards are to be met. These standards have been embedded in a new governance structure and in guidance mechanisms, which have domestic and international components. The influence of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) will be as important as that of SOX in the long run. This chapter examines each of these developments and provides insights into important areas of current and future practice. Building upon the understanding of the new stakeholder accountability framework facing clients and employers developed in earlier chapters, this chapter explores public expectations for the role of the professional accountant and the principles that should be observed in discharging that role. This leads to consideration of the implications for services to be...

Quinn, CPCU, ARM and Gregory Riley, CPCU Introduction unning an insurance company is like managing a supermarket, where the price of the product is determined by the checkout clerk.” This decades old quote was meant to accurately describe a process in which subjectivity and perceptions of individual underwriters determined prices. This highlights the historical concern for fairness, accuracy, and consistency in underwriting. When we look at the underwriter’s role today we find two startling realities: (1) the underwriting function, however described and accomplished, is pivotal for any insurer and (2) the industry does not appear to be investing adequately in the development of professional underwriters for the skills being demanded. This is most notable with the impending loss of senior talent to retirement and the increasing availability of electronic tools to support the function. The research in this article examines the changes in the underwriting process. The professional underwriter still brings accuracy, fairness, and a consistent approach to profit to the table for the future oriented...
