...Case Study Jim Paper Case Study Jim Paper Abstract This document will take a look at a case, the case will be regarding Jim, an individual that has difficulties with being socially accepted and deals with awkwardness, being accepted into groups, and keeping relationships with family and friends. Throughout the document, we will examine six different elements related to this situation that Jim is dealing with. By taking a look at the six elements regarding Jim’s behaviors, we will delve into the DSM-IV looking at each of the six elements and we will attempt to isolate the disorder in the DSM-IV that fits Jim’s situation. In these pages, it is hoped that we can find a rational explanation to what mental disorder Jim is dealing with as stated in the DSM-IV according to the definitions available. Lastly, we will examine the benefits and disadvantages of having the DSM-IV classify disorders according to the information-contained in-between the covers of the DSM-IV. Case Study Jim Abnormal, what is it and is it something that is a simple explanation or does the word abnormal have many different facets to its definition. The word abnormal has many different elements to its portfolio; abnormal is not a one-word answer to all situations making this word complex in all the possible ways it can be used from a simple abnormal case to abnormal adding a multitude of complex issues to one case. Although abnormal is a complex explanation, many professionals will agree that abnormal...

...An Introduction To Virtual Spatial Graph Theory 1. Introduction The mathematical theory of knots studies the many ways a single loop can be tangled up in space. Since many biological molecules, such as DNA, often form loops, knot theory has been applied to biological systems with good effect. However, many biological molecules form far more complicated shapes than simple loops; proteins, for example, often contain extensive crosslinking between cystine residues, and hence from the mathematical viewpoint are far more complicated structures–spatial graphs. The study of graphs embedded in space is known as spatial graph theory, and researchers such as Flapan have obtained good results by applying it to chemical problems. However, in biological systems, proteins are often associated with membranes, meaning that some portions of the molecule are prevented from interacting with others. In the case of a simple loop, the virtual knot theory of Kauffman provides a mathematical framework for studying such systems, as it allows some crossings of strands to be labeled “virtual,” i.e. non-interacting. We hope that a merging of these two theories, called virtual spatial graph theory, will prove equally useful in the biological sciences. Knot theory studies embeddings of circles up to isotopy. There are many ways to extend the ideas of knot theory; two natural choices are the study of spatial graphs and the theory of virtual knots. The theory of spatial graphs generalizes the objects...

...TreatmentKelli RodriguezCapella University1 Borderline Personality Disorder AbstractThe DSM-IV is widely used in the mental health field. Some of its many uses include providinga common language among professionals about psychopathology and delineating criteria for diagnosing individuals with mental disorders. This paper explores the purpose, history, andlimitations of the DSM diagnostic approach. A case study is provided and the DSM-IV-TR isused to diagnosis borderline personality disorder. The disorder is described and an empirically- based treatment plan is offered.2 Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder: DSM Diagnosing and Empirically-Based TreatmentThe APA (2000) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is widelyused by mental health professionals. It provides a common language about psychopathologyamong clinicians, researchers, students, and other mental health professionals. Since its inceptioninto the field of mental health, it has made a huge impact on clinical practice, research, andeducation. Although it has advanced the field of mental health, there is still criticism of theDSM classification system. Despite its limitations, it continues to be considered an importantreference for mental health professionals. This paper will explore the DSM’s use within the fieldof psychopathology. Then it will be applied to a case study of a 15 year-old girl with mentalhealth concerns including a diagnosis of borderline personality...

...1 1 Mount Everest-1996 2 2 Executive Summary Background The case study describes a team ascending Mount Everest led by Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. The primary concept behind the case study is to distinguish qualities in the team’s plan, action, and most importantly leadership. The clients and the leaders in the report show lack of readiness to ascend the mountain. Fischer along with Hall led many people to their deaths because of bad leadership skills. The report outlines how the two leaders failed to communicate with their team. The expedition team needed a better action plan with clear and concise steps to follow in order to keep everyone alive. The breakdown and analysis of the case is reported here. Results Scott Fischer and Rob Hall were not prepared to be leaders. Their skills were lacking and they were only doing things for themselves. Fischer and Hall were clearly acting in the pre-conventional stage of development. They did not value any objections to ideas or procedures. The two leaders acted in a high power distance setting, neither were comfortable allowing inexperienced individuals have a voice. They failed to keep in mind they were running a business. Their actions were the primary reason many climbers lost their lives. The report outlines the communication errors and expresses potential solutions that could have saved lives. Conclusion Communication is a primary factor in the business environment. Leaders need to communicate their business...

Abuja email: rosemaryochanyaogbodo@yahoo.com Abstract The problem most students have that contributes to their poor performance in tests and examination is lack of proper study habit. For an excellent performance, there is need for the student to form good study habit. A student, who wants to study well, needs to choose a suitable place for his studies. Where to study is as important as what to study and how to go about studying. Productive study habits require learners to prepare personal time-table for themselves allocating a certain length of time for a particular subject, depending on how difficult each subject is. Different methods of studying are well explained here. Key Words: Counselling, Study habits, Reading habits, Education Introduction In School, high academic performance has been attributed to students‟ effective study habits. This is the reason why the teacher tries to adopt many techniques to help the students to learn. There will be a brief explanation of the topic, followed by the need for planning effective study habit programme. A description of the typology of study habits will be supported by recommendation for techniques of effective study habits.

...Case Study Week 3 Kristin Parramore-Eaker PSY/410 Abnormal Psychology March 11, 2013 Dr. Kathryn Westbeld Ph.D. Case study week 3 Outline: Sleep Walking Objective: The purpose of this case study is to research and understand the psychological state involved with sleepwalking or somnambulism disorders. The information provided by the patient and his wife examine the functions of the brain while the individual appears to be in non-REM sleep and functioning, while other areas of the brain are in a normal sleep state. The case addresses the episodes following times of severe anxiety to test stress (Meyer, Chapman, & Weaver, 2009). Method: A review of information and history related to sleep disorders and sleepwalking suggests a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of sleepwalking. Sleepwalking disorder (307.46) in the DSM is the impairing repeated sleepwalking episodes with unresponsivity during the episode; the individual has rapid or quick reorientation, and amnesia for the episodes. This case meets the criteria for this diagnosis (DSM IV TR, 2000). Results: The findings support sleepwalking with stress relating to test anxiety disorder as an explanation of the recurring episodes (Meyer, Chapman, & Weaver, 2009). Conclusions: The research supports the pathology of the disorder and explores treatment plans for the individual to lessen test...
