...Article Review Sherry Grant PSY/425 December 23, 2012 Mrs. Barbara Nosal Article Review There are a number of resources available to the families that are affected by drug abuse within the family unit. Due to the very sensitive nature of dealing with drug addiction within the family there need to be options for parents, siblings, spouses, etc to guide them as they attempt to make sense of what is happening to their families. Not only does the drug abuser suffer because of their lifestyle choices but the family must deal with emotions such as: a sense of helplessness, lack of control, guilt, pity, sadness, and fear for their loved one. This paper will discuss the information received from just three online articles regarding options available to those suffering from the affects of drug abuse within the family. Article #1: Project Know. Understanding Addiction: Support Groups for Families of Addicts This article outlines the various options available to those dealing with drug addiction within the family unit. The article presents options such as Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, Gam-Anon, Co-Dependents Anonymous, and COSA. Each of these programs helps to provide a better understanding of addiction for family members and spouses of addicts. By allowing for meetings with others dealing with similar circumstances there is an increased support which is essential to the recovery process for both the family member and the addict. Often family members feel a sense of guilt falsely believing...

...Change Emily Molina Chamberlain College of Nursing Dr. Bonnie Smith NR 451 Capstone Course Draft Design for Change Introduction A patient is admitted to a psychiatric unit on an involuntary basis or on voluntary basis. When a patient is deemed dangerous to himself/herself or others, they are admitted to the psychiatric unit against their wishes, or involuntarily. When a person goes to the hospital on their own to get help, they are admitted on a voluntary basis. In both cases, the patient is evaluated, stabilized in the Psychiatric ER, and then sent to the inpatient unit. Once they’re in the in-patient unit, they refuse treatment and become non-compliant to medication. The longer they refuse, the sicker they get, and begin to act out. The last option is to force medicate the patient, and that is not a pretty picture. Before it escalates to the point of forcing medication, are there any interventions a nurse can employ to lead a patient to compliance? Strategies/interventions nurses used for non-compliant patients were engagement, formulating a therapeutic relationship, and finding out why. (Vuckovich, 2009). Self-determination was a concept discussed by Corrigan et al. (2012). Interventions that promoted self-determination led to patient compliance. This paper will explore those interventions, and how they can achieve compliance to treatment in psychiatric patients. Change Model Overview Rosswurm and Larrabee (1999) proposed a model for change...

...Final Project PSY 496: Applied Project Carolyn A. Mitchell April 7, 2012 Jaime Kulaga Abstract In the United States today, our kids are suffering from school violence. School violence in itself is such a broad area to be researched. The area I would like to propose in this paper is that of school-bullying. In all the areas of school-violence, bullying seems to be the most prevalent. Although school-bullying may not be the most dangerous form of school-violence, it is still a problem, and I aim to seek what causes this phenomenon. Introduced, within the body of my paper, is a series of research studies and techniques, in which I have proposed to use in order to arrive at a series of logical answers. I start out first with a good perspective, one that many people would ponder when thinking of this epidemic. I then move onto reliable research questions that would satisfy any researcher if he or she were to take this project head-on, as well as anyone interested in the phenomenon of bullying. Necessary sampling is arrived at later in the project to further get data for the study. In the final stages, I then analyze all pieces of data I have collected to be able to come to a satisfactory, conclusive derivative. Table of Contents * Stage One: Perspectives * Stage Two: Research Questions * Stage Three: Sampling Data * Stage Four: Data Analyzation * Closing Remarks * References Perspectives Bullying has been around since the...

Spector W e used quantitative genetics techniques to compare the entrepreneurial activity of 870 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 857 pairs of same-sex dizygotic (DZ) twins from the United Kingdom. We ran model-fitting analyses to estimate the genetic, shared environmental and nonshared environmental effects on the propensity of people to become entrepreneurs. We found relatively high heritabilities for entrepreneurship across different operationalizations of the phenomenon, with little effect of family environment and upbringing. Our findings suggest the importance of considering genetic factors in explanations for why people engage in entrepreneurial activity. Key words: entrepreneurship; twin studies; behavioral genetics History: Accepted by Wallace J. Hopp, technological innovation, product development, and entrepreneurship; received June 21, 2006.

...Verbal Learning Belinda Sims PSYCH/550 April 30, 2012 Dr Terri Edwards Verbal Learning Types of learning abound. As a result, people apply different kinds of methods that are appropriate for them during learning process. Various learning approaches showcase how a learner commences the efforts of gripping, processing, focusing on, and sustaining current and challenging information (Bjork, McDaniel, Pashler,& Rohrer, 2008). The study of memory and learning is synonymous with Ebbinghaus, Herman. The earliest scientific approach to the study of memory in 1885 by Herman Ebbinghaus gave impetus to some techniques used by psychologists to assess learning methods. This paper will examine the concept of verbal learning. Compares and contrasts serial learning paired associate learning, and free recall. It will also explore the concept of mnemonics in the recall of verbal stimuli. The Concept of Verbal Learning The concept of verbal learning is associated with Herman Ebbibghaus’ (1885) scientific research on memory. This scientific exploration and breakthrough illuminates the impact of explicit independent features on learning first the verbal learning items or objects. The concept of verbal learning relates to some learning techniques propounded by Ebbinghaus. The techniques include serial learning, (e.g., the list of words), and nonsense syllables (consant-vowel-consant, e.g., LoJ, TAQ). These...
