...This week in the field I completed another home visit with my supervisor; checking the needs of a client who is attending college and working part-time. During this home visit, the client informed my supervisor, Vanessa, they needed funds to buy books and transportation. Therefore, I was able to practice competency skill 9 by observing how Vanessa proactively presented her client’s needs. To meet the needs of this client, Vanessa sat down with the client and discussed how she would be able to help them with these needs; explaining her limitations as to what she could provide. After talking with the client, Vanessa was able to contact different agencies and contact people that would assist the client in getting the car they will need in order to commute between school, work, and home. Also, Vanessa was able to help the client with school materials for their college courses. This is that the student informed Vanessa they were behind in classes because they were not able to obtain a student ID; limiting their access to the school bookstore and school networks. Therefore,...

...Checkpoint Week 6 Mind over Matter By: Barbara Bernardini 04/14/2013 Class: Psy/270 Instructor: Stephanie Murtaugh-Flinn What is the difference between mental illness and insanity? Mental illness and insanity are close to being similar but are different. The difference between mental illness and insanity is with mental illness a person suffers from a mental condition such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive compulsive disorder to name a few. However they are still in touch with reality and know the difference between right and wrong. The person may not know why they have this condition however they know who they are, where they are and the repercussions they will have according to their actions. Why can the McNaughten Rule not be used to defend a person who drinks alcohol and murders a person? The MacNaughten Rule cannot be used to defend a person who drinks and murders a person because a defendant who pleads insanity has to prove that at the time of the offense he or she was suffering from a mental disease or disability such as retardation, so severe they do not know the difference from right or wrong. A person who has been drinking has altered their mind and ability to determine the difference from right and wrong because of the choice they made to drink too much alcohol. There is no way to determine if the person’s reactions were due to the fact of a mental illness or alcohol consumption. Not guilty by reason of insanity- it is a plea of someone in court of...
