...Psy/270 week 5 Checkpoint: Substance Abuse The viewpoint that I agree with the most would have to be the one on stressful and unsupportive family environments are the most common to have substance abusers. This theory comes from sociocultural views. My ex-boyfriend and the father of my child was a drug-addict for the last two years of our relationship but I had hoped that after our son was born that it would slow down and then eventually stop but it never did. For a while there I kept thinking it was because of his friends and thought if they would stop doing it around him then he would stop also but that didn’t happen either we even tired moving away from the area and the people he was around but it still continued. There was always some excuse and the same apology. He eventually ended up getting a DUI and got ordered to AAA meetings. This didn’t work either because all it did was made him mad. He wasn’t ready to admit he had a problem to himself or anyone else. This was the hardest step for him. The whole point behind this essay is that when my ex was younger his dad had a drug problem and that was what he has grown-up around all his life his dad also use to beat him and things and so he went to the only thing that took the pain away and that was the drugs. I knew he needed help and I tried everything to help him but nothing seemed to work. He is now finally drug free and doing well it took me finally taking our son away for him...

...Substance Abuse Kris Krumwiede PSY/270 – Abnormal Psychology: Abuse, Addiction, and Disorders Vicki Koenig 10/6/2013 The first cause and treatment that I read about was the sociocultural perspective. People who live in poverty and stressful situations are more likely to abuse drugs. This is the theory behind sociocultural perspective. Depending on our lifestyle and our surroundings that we live in can be a major factor in whether we abuse drugs or not. When people are surrounded by drug problems in their community, and their friends and family use as well, they have a higher chance of becoming a user themselves. This does not mean that it can be avoided. Depending on your lifestyle and choice of friends, drug abuse does not have to happen just because a person lives in poverty. The first point is how much willpower the individual has. I know of several people who chose not to use or abuse drugs and they lived in or below the poverty level. Drugs are in every level of income. It does not matter if you’re rich or poor; it depends on how the individual wants to deal with his/her life situations. There are many self-help groups, support groups, friends, family, pastors and other people in our communities that are willing to help someone who are having problems with drugs. They will also help with the problems that lead the individual to drug usage. The second cause and treatment I read about is the Psychodynamic perspective. The theory behind this perspective...

...Laura Strain Axia College University of Phoenix PSY/270 Instructor: Rhettman March 8, 2013 Life can be full of disappointments, contain loss, heartache, and circumstances that may be hard to cope with. Everyone at some point in their life will have feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and fear. These feelings are normal during difficult times and known as situational depression. Symptoms of situational depression do not usually last for long periods of time, but certain circumstances can influence these symptoms to linger and become more severe (everydayhealth.com, 2013). Although the symptoms of situational depression is similar to some of the symptoms caused by unipolar depression and bipolar, situational depression differs greatly from these two disorders. If situational depression remains untreated it can become more serious turning into unipolar disorder (everydayhealth.com, 2013). Unipolar disorder also known as clinical depression, includes symptoms such as difficulty concentrating or making decisions, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, lack of emotion, hopelessness, sadness, suicidal thoughts or attempts, low self-esteem, and decreased libido. Individuals who suffer from unipolar depression also tend to distant themselves from social and family gatherings and activities. They become withdrawn and lose interest in things they once enjoyed. Unipolar disorder can cause an individual to reach their ultimate low, restricting their ability to feel happiness...

...Psychological Disorder Analysis Telana Graham PSY/270 Chris Shreve Psychological Disorder Analysis Maria is a 42-year old female who has come to the mental health clinic complaining of several symptoms, she believes is causing her distress. The symptoms Maria is experiencing include having trouble sleeping, feeling jumpy all of the time, and an inability to concentrate. She feels that these symptoms are the cause of her inability to concentrate at work. It is obvious that a concern for Maria’s employment has brought her to the mental health clinic to help her with these issues. Maria’s symptoms require further analysis to reach a diagnostic conclusion as her symptoms are apparent in the criteria of a variety of disorders, to include, post traumatic stress disorder, certain panic disorders, and major depression. Maria will be observed, and a complete assessment of her will be concluded. Once the assessment is complete a diagnosis will be made and a complete and effective treatment plan will be administered. What will also be included by the attending therapists is the diagnosis, along with the possible causes, names of treatment, and a copy of the treatment plan. The clinical interview is the beginning point for Maria and how she answers the interview questions applies to the analysis and diagnosis of her issues. The questions asked during Maria’s interview are as follows: 1. Why do you feel the need to seek therapy? 2. What do you expect...

...Depression Paper Nuewana Fultz 8/15/2015 PSY/270 Debbi Kutner University of Phoenix Unipolar and Bipolar There is often a confusion between Unipolar Depression and Bipolar Disorder Depression due to the fact they share the same symptoms of sadness, hopelessness, pessimism; anxiety and sleep problems; although Unipolar Depression and Bipolar Depression take very different directions. It is important that we are able to tell them apart and understand the differences in diagnosing and treating these disorders. Making an inaccurate diagnosis can result in making the disorder worse. There are two types of mood disorders: Unipolar Depression and Bipolar Disorder. It is believed both are genetic disorders and they share many of the same symptoms. These disorders differ in treatments, and some of the symptoms are also different. Both can be very severe and carry a risk of suicide. Unipolar Depression Unipolar depression is a mood disorder that is categorized by depression without mania. Depression and mania are the opposite of each other; depression is a state of sadness that one is overcome by all of life’s challenges, whereas mania is when one is on a state of elation and has extravagant beliefs that the world is theirs. Unipolar can be brought on by many different types of circumstances one experiences chemically or in life’s...

...Psychological Disorder Analysis Carrie Young Axia College – PSY / 270 Instructor – Elizabeth Stepp Psychological disorders can affect anyone at anytime. Some people are more likely than others to develop the more severe and debilitating of the disorders, while some may be affected by the less extreme of these problems. Today, I am going to discuss the case of a 42 year old Hispanic woman who came to the mental health clinic looking for an answer as to why she is experiencing certain feelings and exhibiting behaviors that she feels are uncharacteristic of her. Marla has a mental disorder with symptoms of trouble sleeping, an inability to concentrate, and feeling “jumpy” all of the time. Marla’s inability to sleep and her problems with concentration, as well as her agitation, are causing poor performance at work, where she is an accountant. Her life history is quite interesting, and as you will see, quite disturbing. The further we get into the session, Marla reveals information that she has never told before. We will begin with a simple history and a few questions and continue with an in depth look at her life. After delving into the possible causes of Marla’s problems, we will move on to possible treatments. Let’s begin! It is a cold morning in November when Marla comes into my office. We greet each other and take a seat on the couch. I am not fond of sitting in a chair, so far away from my patients. Marla is an attractive woman who is married, has two children, and...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
