Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to document a client’s progress toward short- and long-term goals. The content within psychological treatment plans varies depending on the clinical setting. The clinician’s theoretical orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client’s needs are taken into account when developing and implementing a treatment plan. Typically, the client’s presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan.To understand the treatment planning process, students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the same case study utilized for the Psychiatric Diagnosis of Julia. A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used to support the recommendations made within the plan. The Psychological Treatment Plan must include the headings and content outlined below.
Comment by Figure E:
Behaviorally Defined Symptoms
Define the client’s presenting problem(s) and provide a diagnostic impression.
Identify how the problem(s) is/are evidenced in the client’s behavior.
List the client’s cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
Comment by Figure E:
Long-Term Goal
Generate a long-term treatment goal that represents the desired outcome for the client.
This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable.
Comment by Figure E:
Short-Term Objectives
Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining the long-term goal.
Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable language. Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable. For example, it should be stated that the objective will be accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will be reduced by a certain percentage.
Comment by Figure E:
Interventions
Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the short-term objectives.
Compare a minimum of three evidence-based theoretical orientations from which appropriate interventions can be selected for the client.
Explain the connection between the theoretical orientation and corresponding intervention selected.
Provide a rationale for the integration of multiple theoretical orientations within this treatment plan.
Identify two to three treatment modalities (e.g., individual, couple, family, group, etc.) that would be appropriate for use with the client.
It is a best practice to include outside providers (e.g., psychiatrists, medical doctors, nutritionists, social workers, holistic practitioners, etc.) in the intervention planning process to build a support network that will assist the client in the achievement of treatment goals.
Comment by Figure E:
Evaluation
List the anticipated outcomes of each proposed treatment intervention based on scholarly literature.
Be sure to take into account the individual’s strengths, weaknesses, external stressors, and cultural factors (e.g., g ...

Research question: “Does self-disclosure of the therapist improve eating disorder treatment.”
Hypothesis: Self-disclosure of the therapist improves eating disorder treatment.
Information On Research
The key variables for this research are self-disclosure of the therapist and eating disorder treatment. This research will focus on online research whereby participants will be recruited from an eating disorder charity database. The participants will be asked about the status of their condition and how they feel about having the disorder. The neutral condition will be that the therapists will disclose their sexuality and their feelings towards the patients’ conditions and personality (Marziliano, Pessin, Rosenfeld, & Breitbart, 2018).
Process of Study
The study will continue for two months with the therapists making contact with the participants once every week. These conditions will form the independent variables. The dependent variable would be participants continued to receive positive self-disclosures from the therapist leading to a greater level of patient self-disclosure, which lowered their shame, and encouraged the participants to continue with the treatment process. The participants will also be asked if they have been involved in any treatment before, and how they could describe their therapeutic alliance (Fuertes, Moore, & Ganley, 2018).
A longitudinal study and the rate of drop-out will be used to gather more information about the participants. The collected data will then be analyzed in relation to the independent variables by the end of the study. One of the ethical issues, which will be looked into while conducting the study, is informed consent. Participants will be informed about the purpose of the research and will have the right to participate or not participate in it. Secondly, the research will ensure the privacy and confidentiality of every participant.
Annotated Bibliography:
Secrecy and concealment are typical behaviors in individuals with eating problems. In the article titled “ Self-Disclosure in eating disorders,” researchers examined women with greater related eating issues and determined whether or not, these women would be willing to disclose information. In this study, different types of disclosure were calculated considering the body appearance of the individual and to restrained eating. This article would benefit my research because it provides great information that will confirm my theory and test my hypothesis.

Grant Proposal-Assessing the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking
Study problem
There are several studies that have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. For example, Verhaeghe et al., (2014), captures in a publication in reference to a study that he conducted that stigmatization towards mental health patients has been there even as early is in the 18th Century. People were hesitant to interact with people termed or perceived to have mental health conditions.
Stigmatization has resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt and Birkelund (2014), have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth. 1. Purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to formulate ways in which the stigma that is around mental health is done away with to enable as many people suffering from mental health complications to seek medical help.2. Background
Mental health is crucial in every stage of life. It is defined as the state of psychological well-being whereby the individual realizes a satisfactory integration instinctual drive acceptable to both oneself and his or her social setting (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). The status of mental health influences physical health, relationships, and most importantly day-to-day life. Mental health problems arise when there is a ...

Introduction
The primary role of a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner is providing psychotherapy and educating patients and families.
One of the problems that has been experienced in psychiatry is stigma, discrimination and prejudice.
This issue has presented certain effects like delay in seeking help, burnout among health care providers and poor services.
One of the theories that is relevant to the specialty is the modelling and role modelling theory.
Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners usually play a key role in promoting health care. Their primary role is providing psychotherapy and educating patients and families. However, patients and health care providers are facing various issues particularly stigma, discrimination and prejudice which has negatively affected the provision of health care services. The modelling and role modelling theory is one of the theories that is relevant and can greatly help to deal with the problem and may be used as a framework to guide evidence-based practice.
2
Modelling and Role Modelling Theory
It was developed by Helen Erickson, Evelyn Tomlin and Mary Anne and was published in 1983.
This theory helps health care providers to care for and nurture every patient based on their needs.
Commonalities in the theory include attachment and loss, basic needs, holism and cognitive stages.
Differences in the theory include self-care, stress, adaptation, model of the world and inherent endowment.
The modelling and role modelling theory was developed by Helen Erickson, Evelyn Tomlin and Mary Anne and was published in 1983. This is a crucial theory in nursing because it helps health care providers to care and nurture patients while upholding the awareness and respect of every patient’s uniqueness (Smith, 2019). Due to that, this theory is considered to support clinical practices that concentrate on the needs of patients. The theory looks at certain elements like attachment and loss, holism, basic needs and cognitive stages. It focuses on certain differences amongst people including stress, self-care, adaptation, model of the world and inherent endowment.

Relevance of the Theory
Modelling involves health care providers seeking to know and understand patients’ personal model of their world.
Health care providers learn to appreciate the value of patients’ personal model of the world and its importance.
This theory acknowledges that all human beings have unique perspectives about their world.
Health care providers are able to develop an image and understanding of patients’ perspective and personal model of the world.
The modelling and role modelling theory is relevant to my nurse practitioner specialty since it entails crucial aspects that promote the well-being of patients. During the modelling process, nurses are able to find out and comprehend the personal model of patients and learn how t.

Develop a taxonomy” of DSIA document. A taxonomy is a way of org.docxsimonithomas47935
Develop a “taxonomy” of DS/IA document. A taxonomy is a way of organizing something on a “group within group” basis. (Remember how the biological taxonomy is structured.) Initially, define data security and information assurance. Secondly, develop an outline of the major “elements” within the discipline of DS/IA.
The paper should be of “significant depth,” suitable for a graduate program; that is, the paper should be approximately 5 pages in length. The paper should be free from spelling and grammatical errors.
Additional background: In this taxonomy document you will be outlining and giving an “abstract” of DS/IA. Imagine you need to give a meaningful overview of DS/IA to someone unfamiliar with the field. The taxonomy allows you to “group” major aspects of DS/IA and present it in a meaningful way. Remember the grand idea of abstraction. In this document you will simplify the complex field of DS/IA into a few pages of information.
For family therapy:
After reviewing the assigned material for eating disorders, choose one specific diagnosis from the presented descriptions and conduct additional research pertaining to this diagnosis. Please note that a specific diagnosis, such as eating disorders, should be focused on. You will have to locate at least five additional peer-reviewed articles pertaining to the chosen diagnosis, including existing conceptualization and treatment options for this mental health condition. Within these five articles, issues of diversity must be considered. For example, you may include research articles that are diverse according to the sample used (age, race, etc.), or you may find theoretical pieces that discuss diverse viewpoints related to your chosen diagnosis. After reading the articles, create an annotated bibliography of these five articles.
Start the annotation by giving the full reference for the article using APA formatting. Then write a brief synopsis of the literature in your own words that highlights the most relevant “take home” points. Essentially, each annotation should address the following: 1) a brief synopsis of the content of the given resource and 2) a statement of the relevance of the given resource within your topic of study.
In other words, your annotations should state, for each resource, what it says and why it is relevant to your intended topic/research. The finished annotation should serve as a detailed overview of the literature that reduces your need to go back and re-read the entire article or chapter later.
Summarize the article in a paragraph by including the following:
If the article is a research study it should include the purpose of the study, sample and method of the study, and key results of the study.
If the article is a literature review or theoretical piece, aim to highlight three to four of the most significant “take home” points.
Do not use direct quotes—the annotation should be written in your own words. You do not need to use in-text (parenthetical) citations in yo.

YOU BE THE ETHICIST Until recently, Tyrell Dueck was a normal eighth-grader in Canada, hoping that his favorite team would win the Stanley Cup for the third time. Then, early in the school year, he slipped climbing out of the shower and discovered a lump on his leg. He was then diagnosed with bone cancer. After receiving two rounds of chemotherapy and being told that further therapy would mean the amputation of his leg, he announced that he wanted therapy stopped. He and his parents, devout fundamentalist Christians, decided to leave his health in God’s hands and seek alternative therapy. The decision sparked a court battle between his parents, who supported Tyrell’s decision, and the health care team, who sought to compel continued medical treatment and the planned amputation. The battle ultimately ended when doctors said that his cancer had spread to his lungs and that there was little more that could be done for Tyrell.

CASE STUDYFemale, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression.docxbartholomeocoombs
CASE STUDY:
Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression
The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks.
Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum o.

Strategic AlliancesCooperative strategyStrategic allianceCombination of resources and capabilitiesExchange and sharing of resourcesFirms leverage existing resourcesCornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy
Recognized as a viable engine of firm growth, cooperative strategy is a strategy in which firms work together to achieve a shared objective. Thus, cooperating with other firms is another strategy firms use to create value for a customer that exceeds the cost of providing that value and to establish a favorable position relative to competition.
A strategic alliance is a cooperative strategy in which firms combine some of their resources and capabilities to create a competitive advantage. Thus, strategic alliances involve firms with some degree of exchange and sharing of resources and capabilities to co-develop, sell, and service goods or services. Strategic alliances allow firms to leverage their existing resources and capabilities while working with partners to develop additional resources and capabilities as the foundation for new competitive advantages. To be certain, the reality today is that strategic alliances have become a cornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic Alliances, continuedJoint ventureEquity strategic allianceNonequity strategic alliance
The three major types of strategic alliances include joint venture, equity strategic alliance, and nonequity strategic alliance.
A joint venture is a strategic alliance in which two or more firms create a legally independent company to share some of their resources and capabilities to develop a competitive advantage. Joint ventures, which are often formed to improve firms’ abilities to compete in uncertain competitive environments, are effective in establishing long-term relationships and in transferring tacit knowledge. Because it can’t be codified, tacit, or implied, knowledge is learned through experiences such as those taking place when people from partner firms work together in a join.

Develop a taxonomy” of DSIA document. A taxonomy is a way of org.docxsimonithomas47935
Develop a “taxonomy” of DS/IA document. A taxonomy is a way of organizing something on a “group within group” basis. (Remember how the biological taxonomy is structured.) Initially, define data security and information assurance. Secondly, develop an outline of the major “elements” within the discipline of DS/IA.
The paper should be of “significant depth,” suitable for a graduate program; that is, the paper should be approximately 5 pages in length. The paper should be free from spelling and grammatical errors.
Additional background: In this taxonomy document you will be outlining and giving an “abstract” of DS/IA. Imagine you need to give a meaningful overview of DS/IA to someone unfamiliar with the field. The taxonomy allows you to “group” major aspects of DS/IA and present it in a meaningful way. Remember the grand idea of abstraction. In this document you will simplify the complex field of DS/IA into a few pages of information.
For family therapy:
After reviewing the assigned material for eating disorders, choose one specific diagnosis from the presented descriptions and conduct additional research pertaining to this diagnosis. Please note that a specific diagnosis, such as eating disorders, should be focused on. You will have to locate at least five additional peer-reviewed articles pertaining to the chosen diagnosis, including existing conceptualization and treatment options for this mental health condition. Within these five articles, issues of diversity must be considered. For example, you may include research articles that are diverse according to the sample used (age, race, etc.), or you may find theoretical pieces that discuss diverse viewpoints related to your chosen diagnosis. After reading the articles, create an annotated bibliography of these five articles.
Start the annotation by giving the full reference for the article using APA formatting. Then write a brief synopsis of the literature in your own words that highlights the most relevant “take home” points. Essentially, each annotation should address the following: 1) a brief synopsis of the content of the given resource and 2) a statement of the relevance of the given resource within your topic of study.
In other words, your annotations should state, for each resource, what it says and why it is relevant to your intended topic/research. The finished annotation should serve as a detailed overview of the literature that reduces your need to go back and re-read the entire article or chapter later.
Summarize the article in a paragraph by including the following:
If the article is a research study it should include the purpose of the study, sample and method of the study, and key results of the study.
If the article is a literature review or theoretical piece, aim to highlight three to four of the most significant “take home” points.
Do not use direct quotes—the annotation should be written in your own words. You do not need to use in-text (parenthetical) citations in yo.

YOU BE THE ETHICIST Until recently, Tyrell Dueck was a normal eighth-grader in Canada, hoping that his favorite team would win the Stanley Cup for the third time. Then, early in the school year, he slipped climbing out of the shower and discovered a lump on his leg. He was then diagnosed with bone cancer. After receiving two rounds of chemotherapy and being told that further therapy would mean the amputation of his leg, he announced that he wanted therapy stopped. He and his parents, devout fundamentalist Christians, decided to leave his health in God’s hands and seek alternative therapy. The decision sparked a court battle between his parents, who supported Tyrell’s decision, and the health care team, who sought to compel continued medical treatment and the planned amputation. The battle ultimately ended when doctors said that his cancer had spread to his lungs and that there was little more that could be done for Tyrell.

CASE STUDYFemale, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression.docxbartholomeocoombs
CASE STUDY:
Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression
The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks.
Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum o.

In order to achieve this objective, the following supporting topics will be covered:
Strategic alliances;
Cooperative strategies; and
Competitive risks.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic AlliancesCooperative strategyStrategic allianceCombination of resources and capabilitiesExchange and sharing of resourcesFirms leverage existing resourcesCornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy
Recognized as a viable engine of firm growth, cooperative strategy is a strategy in which firms work together to achieve a shared objective. Thus, cooperating with other firms is another strategy firms use to create value for a customer that exceeds the cost of providing that value and to establish a favorable position relative to competition.
A strategic alliance is a cooperative strategy in which firms combine some of their resources and capabilities to create a competitive advantage. Thus, strategic alliances involve firms with some degree of exchange and sharing of resources and capabilities to co-develop, sell, and service goods or services. Strategic alliances allow firms to leverage their existing resources and capabilities while working with partners to develop additional resources and capabilities as the foundation for new competitive advantages. To be certain, the reality today is that strategic alliances have become a cornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic Alliances, continuedJoint ventureEquity strategic allianceNonequity strategic alliance
The three major types of strategic alliances include joint venture, equity strategic alliance, and nonequity strategic alliance.
A joint venture is a strategic alliance in which two or more firms create a legally independent company to share some of their resources and capabilities to develop a competitive advantage. Joint ventures, which are often formed to improve firms’ abilities to compete in uncertain competitive environments, are effective in establishing long-term relationships and in transferring tacit knowledge. Because it can’t be codified, tacit, or implied, knowledge is learned through experiences such as those taking place when people from partner firms work together in a join.

Serial Killers
For this assignment you will review a serial killer's case in depth. The killer you choose to review will also be the subject of your Week 5 final assignment, so keep your research material handy.
First, choose
one
of the following serial killers:
David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") taunted police over a year and shot 15 people (6 died) in New York City. The movie "Summer of Sam" was about this time.
Gary Ridgway (the "Green River Killer") holds the American record for most victims. He confessed to killing 48 over a 16-year period but is suspected of having killed many more!
Wayne B. Williams is believed to be the killer of 24 children and young men in Atlanta, though there is still some doubt.
John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were the "DC snipers" who shot 13 people (ten died) over three weeks in the Washington DC area in 2002.
Ted Bundy: Confessed to almost 30 murders (there may have been more). He was known for being smart and good-looking, and acted as his own lawyer.
Jeffrey Dahmer: His case captured worldwide attention after his capture, mostly due to his habit of keeping parts of his victims long after their deaths, as well as cannibalism and necrophilia.
Kristen Gilbert: An example of a female serial killer, she was a nurse who killed hospital patients in her care.
For this assignment, create a report in Microsoft Word that covers the following points:
Summarize the case: time period, location, number of victims, etc.
Describe the killer's background, methods, and area of operation.
How did the killer select his or her victims? Was there anything that the victims did to provoke the killer?
By analyzing all of the above information, you should now be able to propose a
three-part typology
and explain your analysis. Your typology should describe the killer's
motivation, location, and organized or disorganized factors. For instance, John Wayne Gacy might be described as a
Power/Control, local, organized killer.

SESSION 1Michael Delarosa, Department ManagerWhat sugg.docxWilheminaRossi174
SESSION 1
Michael Delarosa, Department Manager
What suggestions do you have for improvement in regards to training new supervisors?
Make sure there are opportunities for hands on problem solving. Too much of our training is theory
and supervisors need to be focused on the real-world problems that come up.
What challenges do supervisors in our plants encounter that training would help them resolve?
I'd say that a lot of the challenges we see relate to the diversity on the line. There are a lot of different
types of people working at CapraTek and they don't always play well together.
What are the most important abilities for supervisors in our plants?
Well… the first thing that comes to mind is the ability to find information. Whether it's technical
information or answers for the people who report to you. Another key ability though is the ability to
acquire technical expertise. No one comes in knowing it all, but the ability to gain necessary
knowledge is very important.
What knowledge does a new supervisor need?
A solid understanding of the job itself. Supervisors provide a lot of training to new employees, so they
need to know our systems and processes inside and out.
Should training be conducted face to face, online, or a combination of both?
I'd say a combination. There are some topics that don't really need a classroom experience, but
others where the face-to-face interaction provides as much as the actual training materials. If it had to
be one or the other, I'd definitely say face to face.
Leland Butler, Shift Supervisor
What suggestions do you have for improvement in regards to training new supervisors?
Don't think you can cover this stuff once and be done with it. I went through supervisor training when I
was promoted, but I've gotta admit, I don't remember much of it. That kind of stuff doesn't always
stick unless you're doing it. Having an opportunity to be in the job and then get training on what you're
actually dealing with is better than sitting in a training room listening to someone talk about theories
and policies.
What challenges do supervisors in our plants encounter that training would help them resolve?
Well… like I said, being able to apply the leadership and supervisory ideas in realistic situations. I'm a
hands-on kind of person and it's always better if I can do something, so maybe like getting training on
performance reviews or some of the paperwork we're all dealing with. That would be helpful.
What are the most important abilities for supervisors in our plants?
Communication and flexibility. Hands down. You need to be able to shift gears decisively and
communicate with your team.
What knowledge does a new supervisor need?
He or she needs to know what the role of their team is to the division. How it all fits together. A good
supervisor needs to be able to communicate to the people who report to him what's going on and why
things are the way they are. So, he's got to be in .

ANALYSIS PROCEDURES IN SCHOOL
SETTINGS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Janet Ellis* and Sandy Magee
University of North Texas, Denton, TX, USA
This review describes applied behavioral research involving functional analyses conducted in public
school settings. Functional analyses in public school settings often require added conditions. The
modified conditions described herein include changes to experimental designs, antecedent changes that
include task variation, tasks included, idiosyncratic variables, physiological conditions, and modified
escape conditions. Finally, consequent modifications cover peer attention, tangibles, varied attention,
and altered escape. Copyright # 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
INTRODUCTION
The primary body of functional analysis (FA) literature has historically focused on
persons with developmental disabilities in institutional/residential settings who
engaged in severe self-injurious behavior (SIB). Mace and Lalli (1991) noted that
interventions based on FAs conducted in experimental settings under highly
controlled analog conditions may be effective only to the extent that those analog
conditions match the subject’s natural environment. Johnston (1993) recommended
that, once a procedure has been experimentally developed, its value and applicability
should be assessed under practical/natural conditions. Further, passage of Public Law
105-17, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), in 1997 mandated that a
‘functional behavioral assessment’ be conducted on students who exhibit significant
behavior and adjustment problems. For at least these reasons, FA research has moved
beyond the tightly controlled laboratory setting and into more natural environments
involving more diverse populations. Development of behavioral assessments of
problem behavior in school settings had empirical roots—for example, 36 years ago
Thomas, Becker, and Armstrong (1968) noted that classroom teacher’s disapproval
increased rates of student’s disruptive behavior. These assessments allowed effective

Seemingly riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2, the alarming spread of monkeypox across western Europe and the United States has filled the news cycle through the summer of 2022. Monkeypox is an orthopoxvirus, similar in presentation to smallpox and chickenpox (Varicella zoster). In contrast to the related poxviruses, monkeypox has been reported to spread by sexual contact and direct skin-to-skin contact, as well as through the traditional respiratory droplet route. While there is currently no effective treatment for infected individuals, two vaccines with good efficacy are available to help stem the spread of the disease. Likewise, individuals that have been vaccinated against smallpox with vaccinia virus have some protection against contracting monkeypox. While changes in sexual behavior among vulnerable populations has so far limited the outbreak, the disease is still spreading throughout the country and has caused a handful of deaths.
What is the life cycle of monkeypox, and how exactly is it spread? What does the fact that vaccination against smallpox provides some protection against monkeypox indicate about this virus? Also, what does the spread of monkeypox reveal about the susceptibility of the population to smallpox, a disease that has been considered eradicated worldwide since the late 1980s?

Strategies that embed the mission and vision
It is possible for a school to convey its ethos, mission, goals, and values to its students, staff, and parents in a variety of different methods. A school's prospectus or handbook should present information in a way that is clear and easy to comprehend, taking into account the diverse ethnic group in the area and maybe translating the text into many languages. The website of the school is the spot that makes the most sense to transmit any sort of information regarding the institution as a whole, including its ethos and so on. The internet is the first place that people search for information in this day and age since it can be accessed from anywhere in the world and every school now has its own personal website. Again, in order to experience the true environment of the school, it is necessary to combine this mode of communication with a trip to the location itself.

Strategy 1
Communication
Repetitive communication of the mission and vision ensures it is embedded (Jensen et al., 2018)
Communications will target all stakeholders
Technology tools will be used to facilitate communication to all stakeholders
Strategies that embed the mission and vision cont…
A well-defined statement that provides an explanation of the line of work that an individual plans to pursue over the entirety of his career is an example of a career objective. It is essential for each and every student to articulate their aspirations for their future careers. They are able to devise more efficient action plans as a result of this.

Strategy 2
Helping students establish career goals
Students will be encouraged to work hard to actualize the goals
Successful careers enable students to become productive members of the society (Şenol & Lesinger, 2018)

Finding and employing the appropriate faculty members is possibly the single most significant factor that will determine the institution's long-term success. Even though conducting interviews and making hires is seen by many as an art form, there are tried-and-true strategies that the school may employ to boost its chances of finding the proper people to work there. These approaches are suppo.

Segmented Assimilation Theory and theLife Model An Integrat.docxWilheminaRossi174
Segmented Assimilation Theory and the
Life Model: An Integrated Approach to
Understanding Immigrants and Their Children
Lissette M. Piedra and David W Engstrom
The life model offers social workers a promising framework to use in assisting immigrant
families. However, the complexities of adaptation to a new country may make it difficult
for social workers to operate from a purely ecological approach. The authors use segmented
assimilation theory to better account for the specificities of the immigrant experience. They
argue that by adding concepts from segmented assimilation theory to the life model, social
workers can better understand the environmental Stressors that increase the vulnerabilities
of immigrants to the potentially harsh experience of adapting to a new country. With these
concepts, social workers who work with immigrant families will be better positioned to
achieve their central goal: enhancing person and environment fit.
KEY WORDS: acculturation; assimilation; immigrants; life model; second generation
Nearly a century ago,Jane Addams (1910)
observed that immigrants needed help
integrating their European and American
experiences to give them meaning and a sense of
relation:
Power to see life as a whole is more needed in
the immigrant quarter of the city than anywhere
else Why should the chasm between fathers
and sons, yawning at the feet of each generation,
be made so unnecessarily cruel and impassable
to these bewildered immigrants? (p. 172)
The inability of some immigrant families to
integrate the cultural capital from the world left
behind with the demands of the new society creates
a gulf of experience between immigrants and their
children that can undermine the parental relation-
ship. Today, the issue of family cohesion in the face
of acculturative Stressors remains central to the im-
migrant experience and creates a sense of urgency
because it is so linked with the success of the second
generation. The size of the immigrant population
and the role their children \vill play in future labor
markets (Morales & Bonilla, 1993; Sullivan, 2006)
moves the problem from the realm of the person
to the status of a larger public concern.
Immigrant families are rapidly becoming the
"typical" American family. More than one in seven
families in the United States is headed by a foreign-
born adult. Children of immigrant parents are the
fastest growing segment of the nation's child popula-
tion (Capps, Fix, Ost, Reardon-Anderson, & Passel,
2004).The U.S. Census Bureau (2003) reported that
slightly more than 14 million children (approxi-
mately one in five) live in immigrant families; the
percentage is even higher (22 percent) for children
under the age of six (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001).
At a structural level, these changing demographics
create large-scale and long-range effects that bear
on many social services and many issues of social
pohcy (Sullivan, 2006). Specifically, the population
growth of native-born children in nonwhite.

School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence.docxWilheminaRossi174
School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence
Eric M. Anderman
University of Kentucky
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used to examine school-level
differences in the relations between school belonging and various outcomes. In Study 1, predictors of
belonging were examined. Results indicated that belonging was lower in urban schools than in suburban
schools, and lower in schools that used busing practices than those that did not. In Study 2, the relations
between belonging and psychological outcomes were examined. The relations varied depending on the
unit of analysis (individual vs. aggregated measures of belonging). Whereas individual students’
perceptions of belonging were inversely related to depression, social rejection, and school problems,
aggregated belonging was related to greater reports of social rejection and school problems and to higher
grade point average.
Research on school-level differences during adolescence often
has focused on nonpsychological outcomes, such as academic
achievement and behavioral issues, instead of on psychological
outcomes (Roeser, 1998). Indeed, research on school-level differ-
ences in nonacademic variables is quite rare. The purpose of the
present research was to examine school-level differences in a
variety of psychological outcomes, using a large nationally repre-
sentative sample of adolescents.
School Effects on Student Outcomes
Although there is an abundant literature on effective schools,
most of the research in this literature has focused on academic
variables, such as achievement, dropping out, and grade point
average (GPA; e.g., Edmonds, 1979; Miller, 1985; Murphy, Weil,
Hallinger, & Mitman, 1985). This literature generally indicates
that schools that are academically effective have certain recogniz-
able characteristics.
Some of these studies have examined differences between pub-
lic schools and other types of schools. For example, some research
indicates that students who attend public schools achieve more
academically than do students who attend other types of schools
(e.g., Coleman & Hoffer, 1987). Other research suggests that there
may be a benefit in terms of academic achievement for students
who attend Catholic schools compared with non-Catholic schools
(Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993). Lee and her colleagues (Lee,
Chow-Hoy, Burkam, Geverdt, & Smerdon, 1998) found that stu-
dents who attended private schools took more advanced math
courses than did students who attended public schools. However,
they also found specific benefits for Catholic schools: Specifically,
in Catholic schools, there was greater school influence on the
courses that students took, and the social distribution of course
enrollment was found to be particularly equitable.
In recent years, psychologists have started to become interested
in the effects of schooling on mental health outcomes (e.g., Boe-
kaerts, 1993; Cowen, 1991; Roeser, Eccles, & Strobel, 1998;
Rutter,.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to
1. Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to
document a client’s progress toward short- and long-term goals.
The content within psychological treatment plans varies
depending on the clinical setting. The clinician’s theoretical
orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client’s needs
are taken into account when developing and implementing a
treatment plan. Typically, the client’s presenting problem(s),
behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and
interventions determined by the clinician are included within a
treatment plan.To understand the treatment planning process,
students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling
psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based
on the same case study utilized for the Psychiatric Diagnosis of
Julia. A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used
to support the recommendations made within the plan. The
Psychological Treatment Plan must include the headings and
content outlined below.
Comment by Figure E:
Behaviorally Defined Symptoms
Define the client’s presenting problem(s) and provide a
diagnostic impression.
Identify how the problem(s) is/are evidenced in the client’s
behavior.
List the client’s cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
Comment by Figure E:
Long-Term Goal
Generate a long-term treatment goal that represents the desired
outcome for the client.
This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable.
Comment by Figure E:
Short-Term Objectives
2. Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining
the long-term goal.
Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable
language. Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable. For
example, it should be stated that the objective will be
accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will
be reduced by a certain percentage.
Comment by Figure E:
Interventions
Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the
short-term objectives.
Compare a minimum of three evidence-based theoretical
orientations from which appropriate interventions can be
selected for the client.
Explain the connection between the theoretical orientation and
corresponding intervention selected.
Provide a rationale for the integration of multiple theoretical
orientations within this treatment plan.
Identify two to three treatment modalities (e.g., individual,
couple, family, group, etc.) that would be appropriate for use
with the client.
It is a best practice to include outside providers (e.g.,
psychiatrists, medical doctors, nutritionists, social workers,
holistic practitioners, etc.) in the intervention planning process
to build a support network that will assist the client in the
achievement of treatment goals.
Comment by Figure E:
Evaluation
List the anticipated outcomes of each proposed treatment
intervention based on scholarly literature.
Be sure to take into account the individual’s strengths,
weaknesses, external stressors, and cultural factors (e.g.,
gender, age, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual
orientation, socioeconomic status, etc.) in the evaluation.
Provide an assessment of the efficacy of evidence-based
intervention options.
3. Comment by Figure E:
Ethics
Analyze and describe potential ethical dilemmas that may arise
while implementing this treatment plan.
Cite specific ethical principles and any applicable law(s) for
resolving the ethical dilemma(s).

Introduction
A seventeen-year-old girl named Julia has a problem that
requires psychiatric diagnosis and
intervention. She is a college student who participates in
sporting events. She started dieting to
lose the extra weight and acquire the ideal body weight she
needed to participate optimally in
athletics. However, she was determined to lose weight, which
affected her mentally, physically,
5. and socially. The drastic measures she took was constantly
worrying about her weight and
developed unhealthy eating habits. She barely ate any food and
was still worried that she was too
fat when she was too thin. These symptoms lead to a suspicion
that the patient, Julia could have
anorexia nervosa.
Anorexia nervosa is a condition often classified as an
eating disorder. It is characterized by
individuals having misperceptions about their body weight.
Usually, their body weight is too low
for their body sizes, but they manifest fear of gaining any
additional mass. They put too much
emphasis on the determination to reduce their weight that it
disrupts their normative, day-to-day
function (Brockmeyer et al., 2018). The condition is often
prevalent in females as teenagers or
young adult women. According to statistical evidence, 75% of
those who grapple with the
disease are female (Wonderlich et al., 2020). It is harmful
because it precipitates nutritional
deficiencies and other grave complications in the victims, such
as dry skin, low blood pressure,
and increased risk of fractures due to brittle bones.
Psychological Concepts in the Patient's Presentation
6. The symptoms that Julia, the patient under study, presents
with and her history can be
analyzed using psychological concepts. These symptoms
included being overly concerned about
how much she weighs. Subsequently, Julia is always anxious
about what she eats because of the
fear that it might increase her weight. Further, she isolates
herself from other individuals, quickly
becomes irritated, and dissects foods into small portions. Her
history indicates that she was often
ridiculed for having excessive weight when she was young. Her
coach college also criticized her
significantly when she gained weight when joining the
institutions and could not perform well in
athletics. Based on the patient's presentation and her history,
several psychological concepts can
explain her behavior and the symptoms that she presented with.
Behavioral Concept
Julia's clinical manifestations and mannerisms can be
explained using the behavioral theory.
According to the concept, individuals’ surroundings impact
their behaviors significantly.
Therefore, the behavioral traits that the patient presented with
7. can be attributed to the aspects
present in her surroundings (Jagielska & Kacperska, 2017). For
example, when Julia joined
college, her coach criticized her eating habits and weight.
Subsequently, she was out of shape
compared to her teammates. These elements contributed to her
escalated loss of weight that
caused her to develop poor eating habits.
Psychodynamic Concept
The psychodynamic theory elucidates that individuals'
choices are usually based on aspects
such as the events that preoccupy their unconscious minds and
the encounters they had to
contend with when they were young. Julia's childhood
experiences profoundly influenced her
developing the psychological disorder (Jagielska & Kacperska,
2017). During her childhood, she
was often bullied for being too fat. The teasing that she
experienced must have affected her self-
esteem and contributed to her exaggerated desire to lose weight.
Humanistic Concept
The humanistic theory ties the mannerisms that human
beings present with to their innate
feelings and self-perceptions. Julia always viewed herself as
having excessive weight even when
8. she had become too thin. It shows that she had a distorted
perception of herself that affected her
self-image (Resmark et al., 2017). According to the perspective,
human beings must engage in
the actions that pleased them because they were solel y
responsible for their actions. In the case
of Julia, her happiness lied in becoming as thin as she could, so
she focused all her energy on
achieving this goal.
Potential Disorders that the Patient could be having and their
DSM-5 Criteria
Anorexia Nervosa
The DSM-5 criterion identifies three specific symptoms
that must be present for a patient to
be diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. These clinical
manifestations include individuals having a
bodyweight substantially lower than the standard expected
weight at their age and height.
Subsequently, another symptom is that those affected must
display profound fear of gaining
excessive weight, with no improvement even when their body
mass reduces significantly
(Brockmeyer et al., 2018). Additionally, they should also have
misconceptions about their body
9. weight. For example, they claim excessive weight even when it
is not true.
Bulimia Nervosa
The DSM-5 criteria provide three significant symptomatic
expressions that are should be
present for a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa to be made. Firstly,
the patients should be overly
concerned about the size of their bodies. Subsequently, they
should have abnormal feeding
patterns characterized by consuming substantial, large amounts
of food and engaging in
compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting,
misusing drugs such as laxatives and
diuretics to eliminate excess nutrients, or exercising too hard
(Wonderlich et al., 2020). Another
significant symptom, according to the criteria, is that those with
the condition should be overly
concerned about the appearance of their bodies.
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorders
The main symptoms that individuals with avoidant
restrictive disorders have according to
the DSM-5 criteria include lacking interest in food of a
particular kind. They may dislike how it
10. looks, tastes, or smells. Subsequently, their dietary consumption
is not adequate to meet the
needs of his body hence triggering immense loss of weight and
mineral deficiencies
(Brockmeyer et al., 2015). Also, they are usually overly
concerned about the consequences of
eating.
Diagnosis of Patient Based on Presenting Symptoms and DSM-
Criteria
The patient Julia's diagnosis is based on comparing the
clinical presentation she presents
with, and comparison with the DSM-5 criteria is anorexia
nervosa. This condition has been
identified as the possible diagnosis for the patient. Firstly, the
DSM-5 manual indicates that for a
patient to be diagnosed with the condition, the patient must
have a substantially low body weight
(Jagielska & Kacperska, 2017). The patient's history shows that
her body weight was too low
that her family members, friends, and educators were
concerned, an aspect that matches the first
criteria. Secondly, the DSM manual indicates that patients
should be diagnosed with the
condition if they are afraid of gaining weight (Wonderlich et
11. al., 2020). Analysis of the case
study of Julia shows that she was constantly worried about
gaining weight, a factor that caused
her to develop erratic eating patterns and stringent exercising
regimens.
The third criteria indicate that the patient must have
misconceptions about their body
images. This aspect was evident in Julia. She felt that she was
too fat even when she was too thin
that other individuals were worried about her health and
wellbeing. The aspect that rules out
bulimia nervosa is that the patient does not eat excessive food.
On the other hand, the element
that rules out avoidant restrictive food intake disorders is not a
possible diagnosis because the
patient is not afraid of eating certain foods, but anything that
may cause her to gain weight
(Resmark et al., 2017). The analysis of the different conditions
and comparing the manifestations
with the DSM-5 criteria confirms that the patient has anorexia
nervosa.
Justification for Using DSM-5 Diagnostic Manual in Making the
Diagnosis
The DSM-5 diagnostic manual for diagnosing mental
12. disorders provides standardized
criteria for diagnosing mental illnesses that ensure that the
conditions are identified
appropriately. The evidence that supports its validity is that it
draws its formula of clustering the
diseases from investigative research. Subsequently, using the
DSM-5 diagnostic manual is
significant because it provides a proven structure of diagnosing
psychiatric problems that ensures
that medical providers do not diagnose based on assumptions
(Schneider et al., 2021). It gives a
strategy for diagnosing the condition that ensures that the actual
condition is identified, and the
appropriate intervention is administered. Despite its validity in
diagnosing psychiatric disorders,
the DSM-5 diagnostic manual has several limitations. One of
the limitations of using the DSM
diagnostic manual is that it can cause healthcare professionals
to misdiagnose psychiatric
conditions (Schneider et al., 2021). It may cause individuals to
be assumed to have certain
medical conditions because they exhibit some mannerisms.
Summary of the Diagnosis Theoretical Orientations
Based on the behavioral perspective, Julia's condition was
13. precipitated by the factors present
in the environment, such as her negative childhood experiences
(Brockmeyer et al.,
2018). During her childhood, she was bullied because of her
body weight, making her desire to
have a leaner body structure, which caused her to develop
anorexia nervosa. Subsequently, the
pressure that the coach put on her to perform exceptionally well
in her athletics also caused the
condition. She felt she had the lowest weight possible to be
successful in the sporting events,
which made her develop poor eating habits that resulted in her
developing bulimia nervosa.
On the other hand, based on the humanistic perspective, the
patient's condition was caused
by changes in her behaviors, resulting from her self-perceptions
and her feelings about the things
that were happening to her. Julia felt that the food she ate would
cause her to gain weight; hence,
she refrained from eating and developed anorexia nervosa. Also,
the criticism she encountered
during her childhood and from her college coach made her
consider excessive weight even when
14. she had become too thin.
The psychodynamic concept is also vital in determining the
cause of the patient's condition.
According to the theory, individuals' childhood experiences
significantly impact their behaviors
as they grow older (Brockmeyer et al., 2018). Based on this
theory, Julia’s childhood experiences
were the primary cause of her developing bulimia nervosa. She
was bullied because of having
excess weight, hence triggering an intense desire to lose her
body mass.
Evaluation of Symptoms within the Context of Appropriate
Theoretical Orientations
The symptomatic expressions that Julia manifested can be
explained using different
theoretical orientations. The first symptom that the patient
presented with is a very low body
weight which can be explained using the humanistic perspective
(Jagielska & Kacperska, 2017).
Julia perceived her body mass as being too voluminous; hence,
she constantly reduced it until
she became too thin. The second symptom she presented with is
being overly anxious about her
weight. These behaviors can be explained in the context of the
psychodynamic theory that relates
mannerisms of individuals to their childhood experiences.
15. Therefore, the bullying that the patient
endured during her childhood was a significant trigger that
caused her to be constantly worried
about her weight. Another notable symptom inherent in the
patient is isolating herself from other
individuals. This trait can be explained using the behavioral
concept. According to the theory,
the mannerisms of individuals are influenced by the factors in
their environment (Resmark et al.,
2017). Julia knew that her friends and family members would
question her feeding habits if they
were aware of how frugal it was. Therefore, she isolated herself
from other individuals to hide
her detrimental feeding habits.
Evaluation of the Validity of the Diagnosis Using Peer-
Reviewed Articles
The article Outcome, comorbidity, and prognosis in
anorexia nervosa. Psychiatr Pol, 51(2),
205-18 (2017) studies the issue and anorexia to determine its
causes, prevalence, and impacts on
the affected populations. It indicates that the condition is
rampant in individuals aged between
fifteen and twenty. The studies carried out by Jagielska and
16. Kacperska (2017) imply that the
total population affected by anorexia nervosa is 1.2%, with the
women having the highest
rampancy rates, a total of 0.9%. According to the write–up, the
population most vulnerable to the
condition is females aged between the ages of fifteen and
twenty, the category population in
which Julia, the girl in the case study, belongs.
On the other hand, the article Severe and enduring anorexia
nervosa: Update and
observations about the current clinical reality. International
Journal of Eating Disorders, 53(8),
1303-1312 (2020) also contains significant information about
anorexia nervosa. According to the
article, anorexia nervosa is characterized by different
symptomatic expressions, including
exceptionally low body weight, distorted perceptions about their
body weight, and abysmal
eating habits. The symptoms outlined in the article are like
those that Julia, the girl in the case
study, manifested, proving the diagnosis's accuracy.
The scientific merits of the selected articles that prove the
validity of the content that has
been extracted from them include the fact that they are
17. scholarly articles that have been peer-
reviewed and proven to be containing accurate information.
Subsequently, the articles base their
conclusions about the ailment on the information they have
compiled by carrying out scientific
studies. They document the steps used while undertaking the
studies, such as the participants
encapsulated in the research and the findings that emerged
(Resmark et al., 2017). Therefore, the
study can be replicated to deduce whether it is factual, an aspect
that increases the validity of the
information present therein.
Risk Factors Associated with the Diagnosis
The risk factors that make individuals susceptible to
developing anorexia nervosa include biological
factors such as genetic composition. People with specific genes
are at a higher risk of developing the
disorder. Therefore, because genetic materials are hereditary,
the chances of individuals whose relatives
have the disease developing it are significantly high
(Wonderlich et al., 2020). Another significant risk
associated with the condition is psychological factors such as
engaging in dieting plans and starving
18. oneself. Venturing into stringent routines to lose weight may
precipitate dangerous habits that are
difficult to overcome. Additionally, a history of personal
anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and
body dysmorphia issues. Environmental factors such as the
process of transitioning to a new place,
such as a new school, also increase the possibilities of
individuals developing the condition (Resmark et
al., 2017). Pressures from family members for their daughters to
fit a certain ideal body type that
they see fit. For female athletes, pressure from coaches in
certain sports that requires perfection
and favors a certain body type with restrictive diets and training
regiments are also
environmental risk factors. Further, social factors such as the
ideations of certain body types also make
young people prone to want those desired body types. These
ideations of certain socially defined
“ideal body” types are often portrayed on social media content
consumed by adolescent
teenagers and women. Peer pressure and bullying are also social
factors.
Evidence-Based and Non-evidence Based Treatment for the
Condition
19. The evidence-based treatments for young people like Julia
who have anorexia nervosa will
be cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), support groups
psychotherapy, individual and family
therapy. Family therapy will be one of the best options for Julia
because it entails creating
counseling sessions for patients and their families to determine
the genesis of the condition and
the interventions that can be used to overcome it and to address
the social, psychological,
environmental issues that contribute to causing anorexia
nervosa (Resmark et al., 2017).
Psychopharmacology options such as antidepressants and anti -
anxiety medications can help
control the symptoms of depression and anxiety that may
aggravate and contribute to the cause
of anorexia nervosa. On the other hand, the non-evidence-based
treatment for anorexia is taking
supplements such as vitamins to replace the nutrient
deficiencies resulting from the patient's
limited dietary intake. Additionally, other non-evidence-based
options will be body awareness
20. therapy such as yoga, relaxation therapy and acupuncture which
although some studies show that
they can be effective, there are still more evidential research to
be done for their effectiveness for
condition such as anorexia nervosa.
Well-Established Treatments for the Condition and their
Outcomes
The well-established treatment protocol for managing
anorexia nervosa includes using
psychological therapies that will help change the patients'
perceptions towards food and their
body sizes, including therapeutic models including CBT,
support groups, and individual and
family therapy. These therapies work by changing patients'
thought patterns to embrace positive
thoughts and eliminate negative ones like distorted self-
perceptions (Resmark et al., 2017).
These methods have a high likelihood of successfully treating
the condition because it helps in
changing the way the patients think hence fast-tracking the
healing process. Another treatment
process is administering medication such as antidepressants and
antipsychotic agents that help
reduce the negative thought patterns and improve the condition
21. of the patients (Wonderlich et al.
2020). However, the treatment process does not often elicit
positive outcomes in managing
patients with the disease because many do not view the illness
as an ailment requiring medical
intervention.
Conclusion
Julia's case is a classic case of anorexia nervosa. The
symptoms she presents with align with
those inherent in the DSM-5 criteria for the condition.
Therefore, it is significant to analyze the
theoretical basis of the condition under different theoretical
orientations to determine its genesis.
This will aid in deducing the treatment process that can control
it effectively and elicit positive
outcomes in the patient and other patients with the same
condition.

28. My father is a lawyer, and my mother is the assistant principal
at our town’s high school. My
sister, Holly, is 4 years younger than I am.
My parents have been married for almost 20 years. Aside from
the usual sort of disagreements,
they get along well. In fact, I would say that my entire family
gets along well. We’re not
particularly touchy-feely: It’s always a little awkward when we
have to hug our grandparents on
holidays, because we just never do that sort of thing at home.
That’s not to say that my parents
are uninterested or don’t care about us. Far from it; even though
they both have busy work
schedules, one of them would almost always make it to my track
and cross-country meets and
to Holly’s soccer games. My mother, in particular, has always
tried to keep on top of what’s
going on in our lives.
In high school, I took advanced-level classes and earned good
grades. I also got along quite
well with my teachers, and ended up graduating in the top 10
percent of my class. I know this
made my mother really proud, especially since she works at the
school. She would get worried
that I might not be doing my best and “working to my full
potential.” All through high school,
she tried to keep on top of my homework assignments and test
schedules. She liked to look
over my work before I turned it in, and would make sure that I
left myself plenty of time to study
for tests.
Describe the family dynamics and school pressures experienced
29. by Julia. Under what
circumstances might such family and school factors become
problematic or set the stage for
psychological problems?
In addition to schoolwork, the track and cross-country teams
were a big part of high school for
me. I started running in junior high school because my parents
wanted me to do something
athletic and I was never coordinated enough to be good at sports
like soccer. I was always a
little bit chubby when I was a kid. I don’t know if I was
actually overweight, but everyone used
to tease me about my baby fat. Running seemed like a good way
to lose that extra weight; it
was hard at first, but I gradually got better and by high school I
was one of the best runners on
the team. Schoolwork and running didn’t leave me much time
for anything else. I got along fine
with the other kids at school, but I basically hung out with just
a few close friends. When I was
younger, I used to get teased for being a Goody Two-Shoes, but
that had died down by high
school. I can’t remember anyone with whom I ever had
problems.
I did go to the prom, but I didn’t date very much in high school.
My parents didn’t like me
hanging out with boys unless it was in a group. Besides, the
guys I had crushes on were never
the ones who asked me out. So any free time was mostly spent
with my close girlfriends. We
would go shopping or to the movies, and we frequently spent
the night at one another’s
houses. It was annoying that although I never did anything
30. wrong, I had the earliest curfew of
my friends. Also, I was the only one whose parents would text
me throughout the night just to
check in. I don’t ever remember lying to them about what I was
doing or who I was with.
Although I felt like they didn’t trust me, I guess they were just
worried and wanted to be sure
that I was safe.
Julia Coping With Stress
Now I am 17 years old and in the spring semester of my first
year at college. I was awarded a
scholar-athlete full scholarship at the state university. I’m not
sure of the exact cause of my
current problems, but I know a lot of it must have to do with
college life. I have never felt so
much pressure before. Because my scholarship depends both on
my running and on my
maintaining a 3.6 grade point average, I’ve been stressed out
much of the time. Academic
work was never a problem for me in the past, but there’s just so
much more expected of you in
college.
It was pressure from my coach, my teammates, and myself that
first led me to dieting. During
the first semester, almost all my girlfriends in college
experienced the “freshman 15” weight
gain—it was a common joke among everyone when we were up
late studying and someone
ordered a pizza. For some of them it didn’t really matter if they
31. gained any weight, but for me it
did. I was having trouble keeping up during cross-country
practices. I even had to drop out of a
couple of races because I felt so awful and out of shape. I
couldn’t catch my breath and I’d get
terrible cramps. And my times for the races that I did finish
were much worse than my high
school times had been. I know that my coach was really
disappointed in me. He called me
aside about a month into the season. He wanted to know what I
was eating, and he told me
the weight I had gained was undoubtedly hurting my
performance. He said that I should cut
out snacks and sweets of any kind, and stick to things like
salads to help me lose the extra
pounds and get back into shape. He also recommended some
additional workouts. I was all
for a diet—I hated that my clothes were getting snug. In
addition, I was feeling left out of the
rest of the team. As a freshman, I didn’t know any of the other
runners, and I certainly wasn’t
proving myself worthy of being on the team. At that point, I
was 5′6″ and weighed 145 pounds.
When I started college I had weighed 130 pounds. Both of these
weights fell into the “normal”
body mass index range of 18.5 to 25, but 145 pounds was on the
upper end of normal.
Was the advice from Julia’s coach out of line, or was it her
overreaction to his suggestions that
caused later problems?
Dieting was surprisingly easy. The dining hall food bordered on
inedible anyway, so I didn’t
mind sticking to salads, cereal, or yogurt. Occasionally I’d
32. allow myself pasta, but only without
sauce. I completely eliminated dessert, except for fruit on
occasion. If anyone commented on
my small meals, I just told them that I was in training and
gearing up for the big meets at the
end of the season. I found ways to ignore the urge to snack
between meals or late at night
when I was studying. I’d go for a quick run, check Facebook
and Twitter, take a nap—whatever
it took to distract myself. Sometimes I’d drink water or Diet
Coke and, if absolutely necessary,
I’d munch on a carrot.
Many eating disorders follow a period of intense dieting. Is
dieting inevitably destructive? Are
there safeguards that can be taken during dieting that can head
off the development of an
eating disorder?
Once I started dieting, the incentives to continue were
everywhere. My race times improved, so
my coach was pleased. I felt more a part of the team and less
like an outsider. My clothes were
no longer snug; and when they saw me at my meets my parents
said I looked great. I even
received an invitation to a party given by a fraternity that only
invited the most attractive first-
year women. After about a month, I was back to my normal
weight of 130 pounds.
At first, my plan was to get back down to 130 pounds, but it
happened so quickly that I didn’t
have time to figure out how to change my diet to include some
of the things that I had been
leaving out. Things were going so well that I figured it couldn’t
33. hurt to stick to the diet a little
longer. I was on a roll. I remembered all the people who I had
seen on television who couldn’t
lose weight even after years of trying. I began to think of my
frequent hunger pangs as badges
of honor, symbols of my ability to control my bodily urges.
I set a new weight goal of 115 pounds. I figured if I hit the gym
more often and skipped
breakfast altogether, it wouldn’t be hard to reach that weight in
another month or so. Of course
this made me even hungrier by lunchtime, but I didn’t want to
increase my lunch size. I found it
easiest to pace myself with something like crackers. I would
break them into several pieces
and only allow myself to eat one piece every 15 minutes. The
few times I did this in the dining
hall with friends I got weird looks and comments. I finally
started eating lunch alone in my
room. I would simply say that I had some readings or a paper to
finish before afternoon class. I
also made excuses to skip dinner with people. I’d tell my
friends that I was eating with my
teammates, and tell my teammates that I was meeting my
roommate. Then I’d go to a dining
hall on the far side of campus that was usually empty, and eat
by myself.
I remember worrying about how I would handle Thanksgiving.
Holidays are a big deal in my
family. We get together with my aunts and uncles and
grandparents, and of course there is a
huge meal. I couldn’t bear the stress of being expected to eat
34. such fattening foods. I felt sick
just thinking about the stuffing, gravy, and pies for dessert. I
told my mother that there was a
team Thanksgiving dinner for those who lived too far away to
go home. That much was true,
but then I lied and told her that the coach thought it would be
good for team morale if we all
attended. I know it disappointed her, but I couldn’t deal with
trying to stick to my diet with my
family all around me, nagging me to eat more.
Julia Spiraling Downward
I couldn’t believe it when the scale said I was down to 115
pounds. I still felt that I had excess
weight to lose. Some of my friends were beginning to mention
that I was actually looking too
thin, as if that’s possible. I wasn’t sure what they meant—I was
still feeling chubby when they
said I was too skinny. I didn’t know who was right, but either
way I didn’t want people seeing
my body. I began dressing in baggy clothes that would hide my
physique. I thought about the
overweight people my friends and I had snickered about in the
past. I couldn’t bear the thought
of anyone doing that to me. In addition, even though I was
running my best times ever, I knew
there was still room there for improvement.
Look back at Case 9, Bulimia Nervosa. How are Julia’s
symptoms similar to those of the
individual in that case? How are her symptoms different?
35. Around this time, I started to get really stressed about my
schoolwork. I had been managing to
keep up throughout the semester, but your final grade basically
comes down to the final exam.
It was never like this in high school, when you could get an A
just by turning in all your
homework assignments. I felt unbearably tense leading up to
exams. I kept replaying scenarios
of opening the test booklet and not being able to answer a single
question. I studied nonstop. I
brought notes with me to the gym to read on the treadmill, and I
wasn’t sleeping more than an
hour or two at night. Even though I was exhausted, I knew I had
to keep studying. I found it
really hard to be around other people. Listening to my friends
talk about their exam schedules
only made me more frantic. I had to get back to my own
studying.
The cross-country season was over, so my workouts had become
less intense. Instead of
practicing with the team, we were expected to create our own
workout schedule. Constant
studying left me little time for the amount of exercise I was
used to. Yet I was afraid that cutting
back on my workouts would cause me to gain weight. It seemed
logical that if I couldn’t keep
up with my exercise, I should eat less in order to continue to
lose weight. I carried several cans
of Diet Coke with me to the library. Hourly trips to the lounge
for coffee were the only study
breaks I allowed myself. Aside from that, I might have a bran
muffin or a few celery sticks, but
that would be it for the day. Difficult though it was, this
regimen worked out well for me. I did
36. fine on my exams. This was what worked for me. At that point,
I weighed 103 pounds and my
body mass index was 16.6.
Based on your reading of either the DSM-5 or a textbook, what
disorder might Julia be
displaying? Which of her symptoms suggest this diagnosis?
After finals, I went home for winter break for about a month. It
was strange to be back home
with my parents after living on my own for the semester. I had
established new routines for
myself and I didn’t like having to answer to anyone else about
them. Right away, my mother
started in; she thought I spent too much time at the gym every
day and that I wasn’t eating
enough. When I told her that I was doing the same thing as
everyone else on the team, she
actually called my coach and told him that she was concerned
about his training policies! More
than once she commented that I looked too thin, like I was a
walking skeleton. She tried to get
me to go to a doctor, but I refused.
Dinner at home was the worst. My mother wasn’t satisfied when
I only wanted a salad—she’d
insist that I have a ‘’well-balanced meal” that included some
protein and carbohydrates. We
had so many arguments about what I would and wouldn’t eat
that I started avoiding dinnertime
altogether. I’d say that I was going to eat at a friend’s house or
at the mall. When I was at home
37. I felt like my mother was watching my every move. Although I
was worried about the upcoming
semester and indoor track season, I was actually looking
forward to getting away from my
parents. I just wanted to be left alone—to have some privacy
and not be criticized for working
out to keep in shape.
Was there a better way for Julia’s mother to intervene? Or
would any intervention have brought
similar results?
Since I’ve returned to school, I’ve vowed to do a better job of
keeping on top of my classes. I
don’t want to let things pile up for finals again. With my
practice and meet schedule, I realize
that the only way to devote more time to my schoolwork is to
cut back on socializing with
friends. So, I haven’t seen much of my friends this semester. I
don’t go to meals at all anymore;
I grab coffee or a soda and drink it on my way to class. I’ve
stopped going out on the
weekends as well. I barely even see my roommate. She’s asleep
when I get back late from
studying at the library, and I usually get up before her to go for
a morning run. Part of me
misses hanging out with my friends, but they had started
bugging me about not eating enough.
I’d rather not see them than have to listen to that and defend
myself.
Even though I’m running great and I’m finally able to stick to a
diet, everyone thinks I’m not
taking good enough care of myself. I know that my mother has
38. called my coach and my
roommate. She must have called the dean of student life,
because that’s who got in touch with
me and suggested that I go to the health center for an
evaluation. I hate that my mother is
going behind my back after I told her that everything was fine. I
realize that I had a rough first
semester, but everyone has trouble adjusting to college life. I’m
doing my best to keep in
control of my life, and I wish that I could be trusted to take care
of myself.
Julia seems to be the only person who is unaware that she has
lost too much weight and
developed a destructive pattern of eating. Why is she so unable
to look at herself accurately
and objectively?
Rebecca Losing a Roommate
When I first met Julia back in August, I thought we would get
along great. She seemed a little
shy but like she’d be fun once you got to know her better. She
was really cool when we were
moving into our room. Even though she arrived first, she waited
for me so that we could divide
up furniture and closet space together. Early on, a bunch of us
in the dorm started hanging out
together, and Julia would join us for meals or parties on the
weekends. She’s pretty and lots of
guys would hit on her, but she never seemed interested. The rest
of us would sit around and
gossip about guys we met and who liked who, but Julia just
listened.
39. From day one, Julia took her academics seriously. She was sort
of an inspiration to the rest of
us. Even though she was busy with practices and meets, she
always had her readings done for
class. But I know that Julia also worried constantly about her
studies and her running. She’d
talk about how frustrating it was to not be able to compete at
track at the level she knew she
was capable of. She would get really nervous before races.
Sometimes she couldn’t sleep, and
I’d wake up in the middle of the night and see her pacing
around the room. When she told me
her coach suggested a new diet and training regimen, it sounded
like a good idea.
I guess I first realized that something was wrong when she
started acting a lot less sociable.
She stopped going out with us on weekends, and we almost
never saw her in the dining hall
anymore. A couple of times I even caught her eating by herself
in a dining hall on the other side
of campus. She explained that she had a lot of work to do and
found that she could get some
of it done while eating if she had meals alone. When I did see
her eat, it was never anything
besides vegetables. She’d take only a tiny portion and then she
wouldn’t even finish it. She
didn’t keep any food in the room except for cans of Diet Coke
and a bag of baby carrots in the
fridge. I also noticed that her clothes were starting to look
baggy and hang off her. A couple of
times I asked her if she was doing okay, but this only made her
40. defensive. She claimed that she
was running great, and since she didn’t seem sick, I figured that
I was overreacting.
Why was Rebecca inclined to overlook her initial suspicions
about Julia’s behaviors? Was there
a better way for the roommate to intervene?
I kept believing her until I returned from Thanksgiving. It was
right before final exams, so
everyone was pretty stressed out. Julia had been a hard worker
before, but now she took
things to new extremes. She dropped off the face of the earth. I
almost never saw her, even
though we shared a room. I’d get up around 8:00 or 9:00 in the
morning, and she’d already be
gone. When I went to bed around midnight, she still wasn’t
back. Her side of the room was
immaculate: bed made, books and notepads stacked neatly on
her desk. When I did bump into
her, she looked awful. She was way too thin, with dark circles
under her eyes. She seemed like
she had wasted away; her skin and hair were dull and dry. I was
pretty sure that something was
wrong, but I told myself that it must just be the stress of the
upcoming finals. I figured that if
there were a problem, her parents would notice it and do
something about it over winter break.
When we came back to campus in January, I was surprised to
see that Julia looked even worse
than during finals. When I asked her how her vacation was, she
mumbled something about
being sick of her mother and happy to be back at school. As the
semester got under way, Julia
41. further distanced herself from us. There were no more parties or
hanging out at meals for her.
She was acting the same way she had during finals, which made
no sense because classes
had barely gotten going. We were all worried, but none of us
knew what to do. One time, Julia’s
mother sent me a message on Facebook and asked me if I had
noticed anything strange going
on with Julia. I wasn’t sure what to write back. I felt guilty, like
I was tattling on her, but I also
realized that I was in over my head and that I needed to be
honest.
How might high schools and universities better identify
individuals with serious eating
disorders? What procedures or mechanisms has your school put
into operation?
I wrote her mother about Julia’s odd eating habits, how she was
exercising a lot and how she
had gotten pretty antisocial. Her mother wrote me back and said
she had spoken with their
family doctor. Julia was extremely underweight, even though
she still saw herself as chunky
and was afraid of gaining weight.
A few days later, Julia approached me. Apparently she had just
met with one of the deans, who
told her that she’d need to undergo an evaluation at the health
center before she could
continue practicing with the team. She asked me point-blank if I
had been talking about her to
anyone. I told her how her mother had contacted me and asked
me if I had noticed any
changes in her over the past several months, and how I honestly
42. told her yes. She stormed out
of the room and I haven’t seen her since. I know how important
the team is to Julia, so I am
assuming that she’ll be going to the health center soon. I hope
that they’ll be able to convince
her that she’s taken things too far, and that they can help her to
get better.
How might the treatment approaches used in Cases 2, 4, and 9
be applied to Julia? How
should they be altered to fit Julia’s problems and personality?
Which aspects of these
treatments would not be appropriate? Should additional
interventions be applied?
Decide: The Case of Julia
The individual in Case 18: The Case of Julia would receive a
diagnosis of anorexia nervosa.
Dx
Checklist
Anorexia Nervosa
1.
Individual purposely takes in too little nourishment, resulting in
43. body weight that is very low and
below that of other people of similar age and gender.
2.
Individual is very fearful of gaining weight, or repeatedly seeks
to prevent weight gain despite
low body weight.
3.
Individual has a distorted body perception, places inappropriate
emphasis on weight or shape
in judgments of herself or himself, or fails to appreciate the
serious implications of her or his
low weight.
(Based on APA, 2013.)
Clinical Information
1. Research investigating risk factors for eating disorders have
reliably identified body
dissatisfaction as a significant factor in the future development
of eating disorders. Some
prospective studies have also found a history of depression and
critical comments from
teachers/coaches/siblings to be important predictors (Jacobi et
al., 2011). Stice, Marti, and
Durant (2011) identified two separate risk-factor pathways
based on whether the individual
experienced high levels of body dissatisfaction. For adolescent
44. girls with high body
dissatisfaction, their risk for developing an eating disorder was
amplified by the presence of
depressive symptoms. However, among girls with lower levels
of body dissatisfaction, those
reporting significant dieting behaviors were at the highest risk
for developing a future eating
disorder.
2. Individuals with anorexia typically struggle with comorbid
conditions such as depression
and/or anxiety disorders (Von Lojewski, Boyd, Abraham, &
Russell, 2012). In addition, people
with anorexia nervosa may experience low self-esteem,
substance abuse, and clinical
perfectionism (Cooper & Fairburn, 2011; Fairburn, Cooper, &
Shafran, 2003).
3. Although anorexia nervosa can occur at any age, the peak age
of onset is between 14 years
and 18 years.
4. Prevalence: The lifetime prevalence estimates range from 0.5
percent to 3.5 percent. The
DSM-5 reports the 12-month prevalence rate as 0.4 percent.
Approximately 90 percent of all
cases occur among females.
5. Surveys suggest that approximately 2 percent to 5 percent of
female college athletes may
suffer from an eating disorder (Greenleaf, Petrie, Carter, &
Reel, 2009), with the highest rates
among college gymnasts, swimmers, and divers (Anderson &
Petrie, 2012).
6. The mothers of individuals with eating disorders are more
45. likely to diet and have
perfectionistic tendencies compared with mothers without a
child with an eating disorder
(Lombardo, Battagliese, Lucidi, & Frost, 2012; Mushquash &
Sherry, 2013).
7. Anorexia nervosa has a particularly high mortality rate (up to
6 percent). A 20-year
longitudinal study found that a long duration of illness,
substance abuse, low weight status,
and poor psychosocial functioning increased the risk for
mortality among individuals with
anorexia (Franko et al., 2013).
Common Treatment Strategies
The following treatment strategies are based on “enhanced”
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-
E) proposed by Fairburn and colleagues (2008). Although
empirical support is still lacking for
any treatment for adults with anorexia nervosa, CBT-E appears
to have the most support and
promising future for immediate and long-term recovery (Cooper
& Fairburn, 2011; Grave,
Calugi, Conti, Doll, & Fairburn, 2013; Fairburn et al., 2013) .
For patients who are underweight, treatment includes three
phases:
1. First step: Help to increase the individual’s readiness and
motivation for change.
46. 2. Second step: When the patients are ready, increase caloric
intake to regain weight while
simultaneously addressing the underlying eating disorder
psychopathology, particularly
extreme shape and weight concerns.
3. Third step: Focus on relapse prevention by helping patients
develop personalized strategies
for identifying and immediately correcting any setbacks.
