The document discusses the key concepts of interpersonal theory developed by Harry Stack Sullivan. It states that personality develops through social interactions and is influenced by biological and social factors. Anxiety is a primary motivator in personality formation and human behavior. Interpersonal experiences determine personality organization, and security mechanisms are used to reduce anxiety. Personality develops through stages of relationships from infancy to adulthood. Failure to progress through stages can lead to maladaptive behaviors.

How do genetic and environmental factors work together to influemeagantobias
How do genetic and environmental factors work together to influence emotional and moral development? What can parents do to ensure healthy emotional and moral development with their children?
This week you’re going on a field trip – an internet field trip! Please do a search online for a current event that relates to the material in the reading this week. Give a brief summary of what you found and explain how it fits in with what you learned this week. Don’t forget to cite your source!
Emotional Development and Moral Development
This week we will explore the functions of emotions, the development of emotional expression and emotional understanding, the role of temperament, and the development and significance of attachment. Additionally, we will study moral development. Topics involving moral development will include the study of morality as the adoption of societal norms, morality as social understanding, moral reasoning of young children, the development of self-control, and the development of aggression.
Topics to be covered include:
Stages of Emotional Development
Moral Development
Emotional Development
Emotion is defined as a rapid appraisal of the personal significance of a situation that prepares us for action. When you experience something that is personally relevant, there is physiological response in your body that causes a behavioral response. If you get into an argument, someone you love smiles at you, or you accomplish a challenging task, you feel a surge of emotion. Your behavioral responses to your emotions is part of what makes you unique!
EMOTIONS DEFINED
Theorists with a functionalist approach to emotion believe that emotions play an integral role in cognitive processing, social behavior, and physical health. They believe that the purpose of emotions is to motivate behavior aimed at accomplishing personal goals. If you have a goal in mind, the anticipation of the outcome, as well as the outcome itself, triggers emotions that help dictate your response. As an individual interacts with his or her environment and situations change, emotions change.
We see how cognition and emotions work together when we consider the impact of anxiety on performance. When anxiety levels rise, thinking skills are often impacted, as attention given to mental processing is now occupied with thoughts of worry. In addition, children who become distressed tend to better recall that particular experience, showing emotion is linked to memory. We also previously learned that two childhood growth disorders, nonorganic failure to thrive and psychosocial dwarfism, result from emotional deprivation.
SOCIAL SITUATIONS
SELF-AWARENESS
HEALTH
Emotional Expression
The progression of emotional expression occurs with age. In early infancy, happiness is displayed through smiles and laughter, often as a reaction to parental affection or the achievement of sensorimotor goals. Infants also begin to experience anger (as a result of not being able ...

RESPONSE 1
Respond
to at least 2 colleagues by expanding on evidence in support of play therapy.
Colleague 1: Christine
There are many ways play therapy can benefit children and in this case 6 year old Claudia. As children experience trauma service providers may also have difficulty with young children and self disclosure. Here is the list that I came up with after reviewing this discussion resources in relation to how this approach can benefit:
1) Creating a safe space to explore with safety can hold children accountable for responsible behaviors while developing successful insight to harness positive strategies to cope.
2) Children can also benefit as they learn new solutions toward dealing with issues while learning skills to express new and old emotion.
3) There can be a gained awareness to self; understanding thoughts and emotions.
4) Children can learn new social skills as they work with their provider and how to relate to self through creativity. Also, gaining communication skills as they use various forms of play therapy.
5) Children may also develop an awareness toward new and old abilities using a strength-based approach toward therapy.
Another form of play therapy that I am fond of while working with children is storytelling. It isn't for all children specifically concentrating on those that feel comfortable opening up and speaking to others. Storytelling has been beneficial to me while working with children in the past as it has revealed fear and anxieties. Utilizing different platforms of storytelling, self disclosure can build various survival strategies in children as they explore different situations through actions, movements, and changes. (Chiesa, 2012, pp 5)
Overall I feel strongly play therapy in all forms whether it be art therapy, role playing, non-directive/directive play, can promote healing, through self expression of feelings. It can also encourage children to build creative ways to deal with current and future trauma, and allow the development of healthy decision-making.

Play therapy can be beneficial because Claudia is a young child who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw a mugging which caused her to be fearful, and develop anxiety. Play therapy helps the child to relax and the child is interested in playing with the toys in the sand. The sand can help the child relax and the toys can help the child create her own world. Usually, children will repeat behaviors or experiences during play. This can help the social worker assess the magnitude of trauma or abuse the child has experienced. This also makes it easier for the child to talk about their trauma or experiences. Play therapy helps children address and resolve their own problems. Play therapy helps to communica ...

LEARNING AND COGNITION 9
Learning and Cognition
Lana Eliot
Psychology 620
Professor Jackson
November 30, 2017
Learning and cognition are two words which are seen to be similar since both need each other for the processes to work. Learning is acquiring knowledge from one’s experience, from what is taught or through studying while cognition one acquires knowledge and understanding thorough senses, experience and from one’s thoughts. So basically, these two relate in that cognition process requires learning and for learning to take place cognition must be involved. All learning happens through interactions with one’s surrounding and it’s a dynamic process with regards to an organism’s life span.
Operant conditioning
Operant conditioning is a mode of learning through which reinforcers stimulus are involved following one’s action. It focuses on the cause of action and consequences afterwards, in attempt of understanding behavior. Operant conditioning can be used to modify behavioral patterns of children, adults as well as pets. It is based on the fact that when a response is followed by a good state of affairs, learning is fortified (Martin & Pear, 2015). It involves use of both positive and negative reinforcement.
Positive reinforcement is used to increase a desirable behavior of people. It includes praising someone, treats and giving out prices. For instance, when you give a child a reward for having good grades in the examination, he or she will always work hard to have even better grades next time so that he or she can have the reward. For this to work, one should give a reward which the person likes. If you give a reward which the person you’re giving to does not like, then it will have no impact to him or her. Negative reinforcement involves undermining undesirable behaviors by removing an unpleasant reinforcer. This can be done by introducing some form of paying fines in places where you’ve gone wrong or when not doing as expected.
Another way is by use of positive and negative punishment. Punishment is usually used in cases where an increase in undesirable behaviors tends to decreases behavior. Positive punishment involves putting consequences in place in order to weaken the undesirable behavior. An example of a positive punishment is by grounding a child for misbehaving. This will alter the child’s behavior in that he or she will not misbehave due to fear of being grounded. Negative punishment involves removal of favorable outcomes after an occurrence of undesirable behavior (Mason, 2017). In adult situation, if a person is employed and doesn’t satisfy his employer’s demands on a particular day, the employer may decide not to pay the person payment for that particular day. This will make other employees work to well to avoid not being paid and will also have an impact on the one not paid.
Punishment as a method of decreasing undesirable behavior has some challenges: it may increase ...
Behavior therapy is a form of psychotherapy. It is essential for all the budding psychologists to study and understand. it is a part of academic writing course .
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
3. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF
INTERPERSONAL THEORY
Human being is a social being. His behavior
grows out of his attempts to establish
meaningful social relationship with others.
Personality development is determined in the
context of social interactions with others and
is influenced by both biological and social
factors.
4. Anxiety is a primary motivator of human
personality formation and exhibition of human
behavior. Anxiety is important in building self
esteem and enabling a person to learn from
their life experiences.
Interpersonal experiences determine the
personality organization achieved by human
beings.
Security mechanisms are used to overcome or
avoid or reduce the anxiety.
5. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF INTERPERSONAL THEORY
Developmental proceeds through various stages, in each
stage there is involvement of different patterns of
relationship,
- e.g. in infancy- need for contact was fulfilled by the
parents.
In childhood- active participation in activities and interaction
with adults will be observed.
In early childhood- - detachment from parents and
attachment with peer group increases.
In preadolescent and adolescent - intimate relationship with
heterosexual groups resulting into marriage and family
formation.
If any failure to make progress satisfactorily through various
stages may result into maladaptive behavior.
6. Anxiety has direct relationship in the
personality formation, e.g. for fulfillment of
basic needs an infant will depend on
caretaker, lack of any of these needs will
lead to develop mistrust or anxious or
insecure and may prone for maladjustment.
7. CONTI…
Early life experiences will influence
individual’s development throughout his life.
This lasting effect is produced by
personifications, feelings, attitudes and
ideas, forms as the result of experiences
with anxiety and needs satisfaction with the
mothering one.
8. CONTI…
Socialization causes a lot of pressure on
children, E.g. appreciation and praise by
others, experiences of approval and
tenderness is associated with good feelings
about the self ‘good me.’
9. CONTI…
Experiences associated with criticism, high
anxiety situations results into ‘bad me’ and
are associated with feelings of shame, guilt
and low self-esteem
10. CONTI…
‘Not I’ develops in reaction to overwhelming
anxiety arising from situations that provoke
feelings of ‘horror or dread’.
Over a period an individual develops a ‘self
system’ and ‘self-esteem’ by using coping
mechanisms to reduce anxiety of
socialization pressures.
11. CONTI…
Social exchange: social relationship is established
to meet the mutual needs. Each person needs
mutual help, recognition from others for self-
identification.
Social roles: every individual has to perform
specific role set by the society, e.g. teacher,
mother, priest, etc.
Interpersonal accommodation: Two or more
persons interact with each other and establish
certain goals to build a satisfying relationship.
It enables the nurse to understand clients’
background, relationship with significant people,
etc.
12. MODES IN COGNITIVE PROCESSES
1. PROTOTAXIC MODE
It is characterized by sensations, feelings and fleeting
images occurring during infancy which are primitive and
illogical.
2. PARATAXIC MODE
It is also illogical in nature. Simultaneous events are
considered as casually related.
For example, a child who has experienced the amount of
loss of several significant members in the family will
conclude that all people entering in the hospital will die. It
may be commonly observed in early childhood, if it
continues into adulthood it may predispose into racial,
sexual and ethnic stereotype and prejudices.
13. 3. SYNTAXIC MODE
It is developed form, characterized by
logical thinking emerges in the juvenile
stage.
i.e. the process by which people come to
agreement about the meaning and
significance of specific symbols.
Human development proceeds through
stages of development from infancy to old
age.
14. Peplau has explained the interpersonal
nursing roles:
Stranger
Resource person
Teacher
Leader
Surrogate parent
Counselor
15. Cornerstone in psychiatric nursing. Concepts
like anxiety, trust, security, self-esteem and
nurse-client relationship, etc. were included in
nursing curriculums, which were derived from
Sullivan’s work.
The use of interpersonal process recordings in
the clinical aspect of mental health nursing
practice.
It is deterministic in nature and more hopeful
outlook for clients and practitioners in using this
theory.
16.
17. It is derived from ‘learning theories’ focused
on client’s actions, not on thoughts and
feelings.
Behavioral approach is used frequently to
control the undesirable behavior.
Prominent therapists of behavioral
theory/model/therapy include Joseph
Wolpe, BF Skinner, Ivan Pavlov and
JohnWatson.
18. Behavior is a response to stimuli from the
environment.
Either adaptive or maladaptive behavior is
learnt.
Change in behavior leads to a change in the
cognitive and affective spheres.
Therapist will emphasize on quantitative aspect
of observable behavior.
Deviations from the norm are habitual
responses that can be modified through
application of learning theory.
19. Positive response is reinforced. The response is
strengthened by repetition of the learning
sequence. Reinforcement is essential to get the
response. Positive reinforcement is a reward for
selected behavior.
Human beings are passive organisms that can
be shaped or conditioned to do anything. If
correct responses are rewarded or reinforced.
Maladaptive behavior can be unlearnt and
replaced with adaptive behavior, if the person
receives appropriate stimuli to eliminate the
maladaptive learning.
20. I. SYSTEMIC DESENSITIZATION
Based on ‘Reciprocal Inhibition Behavioral
Principle’ of counter conditioning.
In this the clients will attain a state of
complete relaxation and are then exposed to
the stimulus that elicits the anxiety response.
23. 1. Relaxation training will be given, e.g. mediation,
hypnosis, mental imagery, biofeedback,
Jacobson progressive relaxation.
2. Ask the client to construct a hierarchy of anxiety
provoking situation in descending order of
anxiety provocation.
3. Desensitization of the stimuli: patient is asked to
give a signal whenever anxiety is produced with
each signal; he is asked to relax, after a few
trials, client is able to control his anxiety
gradually.
24. Prolonged contact with the anxiety will make
the client to face the frustration and anxiety
situation without much difficulty.
25. Pairing of pleasant stimuli with an
unpleasant response so that even in the
absence of unpleasant response, the
pleasant stimuli becomes unpleasant
because of association.
26. 1. Positive reinforcement
To reinforce or improve the performance of
the desirable behavior repeatedly a token.
Reward material or symbolic appreciation
will be given whenever the client performs an
acceptable behavior,
e.g. Modeling, Shaping.
27.
28.
29. Indications- chronic hospitalized
patients, children up to adolescent age.
It is a positive reinforcement programme to
encourage socially acceptable or desirable
behavior among client;
A small token will be given as an exchange
for privileges.
31. 1. Modeling:
Acquiring new desirable behavior through
imitation or by demonstration; the client will be
given an opportunity to observe ‘Model
behavior’ either from therapist or psychiatric
team members or through other patients.
The team members will exhibit a specific
desirable behavior which will be observed by
the client and the he will be given an
opportunity to perform target behavior in
desirable manner, if he does so, reward or an
appreciation will be given to encourage the
client to perform those act repeatedly whenever
is required.
32. 2. Shaping:
Indication: Neurosis, Phobias, Physically
handicapped, Autism, Obsession.
Skills can be achieved through shaping
technique; the therapist tries to shape the
desired behavioral skill step by step.
He positively reinforces the existing behavior
and the responses which are closest for the
desired behavior and ignores the other
responses.
Therapist will praise the client for his desired
behavioral performance and if he fails no
response will be given.
33. 3. Chaining:
Training will be given to learn complex tasks in
break up manner, step by step:
Forward chaining:
The therapist will identify the difficulty of the
client in performing complex tasks. He will give
training to the client to learn first step, after
client achieves it, the second step and the third
until client achieves the task.
• Backward chaining:
In backward direction, step by step the client
will be assisted to learn desirable tasks from
last step to next step likewise, e.g. for mentally
disabled this training is adapted.
34.
35.
36. If the client performs undesirable acts or
exhibits undesirable behavior. He will not be
encouraged to perform the similar act and will
be given negative reinforcement by some sort
of punishment, e.g. if the child exhibits odd
behavior, he is not allowed to play until he
changes the behavior and adapts healthy,
desirable behavior, punishment can be avoided
if the caretaker is satisfied with the behavior.
37.
38. To teach adaptive behavior among the client
token programs were activated. If those
clients exhibit undesirable behavior, a fixed
number of tokens or pints deducted from
what the individual has got already.
39.
40. Whenever undesirable behavior exhibits, it
has to be avoided by administering some
sort of punishment with proper explanation; it
will be used to decrease the undesirable
behavior /maladaptive behavior.
41.
42. Whenever the problematic behavior exists
rewards or attention can be removed, e.g.
not to have eye to eye contact or physical
contact or moving away, not showing interest
to talk or mingle with them.
43. If the client exhibits undesired or problematic
behavior, it will be corrected by wide range of
punishment, e.g. if the child passes stools
within the dress after toilet training, to avoid
the repetition of the undesirable behavior,
mother will ask the child to wash his clothes
by himself.
44.
45. • In 1949, Salter and in 1958, Wolpe have
described assertiveness training.
• Aims:
• Alleviates interpersonally based anxiety.
• Improves interpersonal relationship, self-
esteem, self-control
• Improves the ability to stand up for one’s own
rights
• Clients are assisted to identify the usual
mode of behavior
• Brings change in emotion and other behavior
pattern.
47. Technique:
• The therapist will give assertive behavior training
by role playing, coaching, modeling and role
reversal technique and the by practicing it in
real life situations.
• This training will help the client not to infringe on
the rights of others and helps to ascertain the
ability to stand for their rights, ignores passive
behavior, inculcates the client for usual mode of
behavior.
• Through assertiveness training, the client will
learn social skills and improves interpersonal
relationships, social behavior and social
contacts. For example, eye- to eye contact
while speaking, appropriate behavior, étiquette
behavior, interaction pattern, etc.
48. • Nurses have to keep in mind, the principles of
learning while administering behavioral
therapy for the clients.
• Uses behavioral approaches like positive
reinforcement, relaxation techniques.
• Involves the client and significant people in
provision of care
• Positive responses will be reinforced.
