CLINICAL REPORT 2
CLINICAL INTAKE REPORT
1. CLIENT DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Mrs. M is a 31-year-old, married, white female who lives with her husband of three and a half years.
They currently have no children. Her primary language is English, and her religious affiliation (which
she reports as important to her) is Christianity. As an LPC, Mrs. M reports earning an annual income
of approximately 50K.
2. INITIAL/GENERAL IMPRESSIONS
Mrs. M is approximately 5’3” and moderately overweight. Her general appearance was neat and
professional (dress pants and blouse). She was very friendly and open in her interactions, both
verbally and with her body language. Mrs. M. was actively engaged in the interview process, and
seemed interested and attentive throughout the entire length of the interview. She was well-spoken
and appeared to be intelligent. Mrs. M’s facial expressions, body language and tone of voice
indicated a euthymic and reasonably positive mood throughout the interview. Of particular note,
however, is that Mrs. M. seemed to laugh at inappropriate times (e.g., when describing some of her
current frustrations with her husband, when describing the loss of her older sister, and when
discussing her experiences with sexual abuse as a child).
3. REASON FOR COMING/PRESENTING CONCERNS
Mrs. M has been married for 3.5 years. She reports that the marriage “is not working”, and that she is
“very unhappy in the marriage.” Her dissatisfaction began within the first month of marriage when she
began to feel like she “made a mistake” and “rushed into something that [she] was not ready for.”
When asked how she might be contributing to her current marital unhappiness, she replied, “I said ‘I
do’ before I realized what I was getting into.”
Mrs. M. went on to report that she felt deceived by her husband because he did things while they
were dating that stopped within the first month after they were married. When asked for examples,
Mrs. M said, “going to church together, praying together, going out with friends together, and even
holding a steady job.” Mrs. M reported that when they were dating, her husband presented himself as
“a motivated, well-rounded person with peer support.” Mrs. M said that after they married, Mr. M
dropped all of his friends, and she became his “sole relationship.” She reports feeling pressured to
stay at home with her husband when she would like to be going out with friends. Further, she says
that Mr. M is resentful when she does go out with her friends. She says it feels like her husband
“wants her home—all to himself.” Mrs. M also reports that her husband quit his job soon after they
married, and hasn’t earned a ...

A colleague of yours, Dr. Solomon, contacts you for advice regarding a new client she has just seen. The client, Mr. Don Tellanyone, is a 47-year-old man who is seeking services for depression. During the initial phone contact, he asked repeatedly about privacy and wanted assurances that information discussed in session was confidential. The patient repeated this line of questioning during the first face-to-face session. As the session progressed, he revealed that the source of his depression was the death of his mother one year ago. His mother had suffered from a combination of severe respiratory problems and Alzheimer’s. Mr. Tellanyone had been caring for her and his father in his home for 6 years prior to her death. During the last two years, she required total care. He revealed that she had been suffering greatly and, out of compassion for her, he gave her an excess dose of her sleeping and pain pills. Medical personnel never questioned the death as the woman had been quite sick and “It was only a matter of time.” Mr. Tellanyone goes on to explain that he is now caring for his father in similar circumstances, although there is no dementia. His father has declined rapidly since the death of his wife and now requires total care. Mr. Tellanyone reveals that recently he had a conversation with his father in which the father commented how peaceful his wife’s death was and how he hoped for a similar passing. Mr. Tellanyone is feeling quite guilty about his mother. Simultaneously, he strongly believes he made the right decision. He would like help to work through the issues. He is also very concerned about confidentiality and wants assurances from Dr. Solomon. Dr. Solomon, feeling uncomfortable with the situation, contacts you for a consultation about the potential ethical issues for this case.

A social worker had an intake appointment with a new client. As soon as he looked at the intake form, he realized that she is the ex-wife of his former client. The therapy with the ex-husband was brief, and he focused on how he wanted to leave the marriage. The prospective client was using her maiden name and gave no indication that she had known about her ex-husband’s treatment with the psychologist. When asked about the reason for the referral, she said that her physician had referred her for anxiety. During the session, she stated that he is still in communication with her ex-husband because they share three children.

The Case of Mark Snooze
Sally Student
Liberty University
This is a sample of a case study. It is not perfect and if it in anyway disagrees with the instructions or the grading rubric, follow the instructions and the grading rubric. This will hopefully give you a general idea of how to write a Case Study. There are places in the case study where you will have to use the passive voice and it will be appropriate, this is when the there is no person who can be the doer of the action and still present the case in an objective manner. An example of this would be: A personality disorder is ruled out. The only other way you could say it would be I ruled out and you do not want to use first person in this report at all.
This case study is a bit shorter than what is assigned for your project, so be sure to add the needed details in order to meet the length requirement.

PSYC 421
Clinical Intake Report Instructions
Regardless of its purpose, no psychological evaluation is complete without historical or background information about an examinee. Historical information about the examinee is absolutely necessary to an evaluator when he/she interprets results from psychological tests because similar patterns of test scores could suggest different things about examinees with different life experiences. Background information usually is gathered in an interview, but a biographical information sheet completed by the examinee also can be very useful. Typically, information regarding the examinee's family and social/relationship history, work experience, educational history, and medical and legal problems is gathered. Additionally, the evaluator is interested in an examinee's self-perceptions, significant life experiences, goals/aspirations etc.
For the current assignment, imagine that you are a therapist at a Christian Counseling Center, and you are assigned a new client from whom you must collect historical information.
Step 1: Conduct a Clinical Interview.
· A template for a comprehensive Clinical Interview is provided in the Assignment Instructions folder in BlackBoard.
· Use the Clinical Interview template to conduct clinical interview on yourself or on a willing and generous volunteer who is at least 18 years old!
· You DO NOT have to complete the entire interview.
· Complete the following 4 required sections of the Clinical Interview:
1. Demographic Information
2. Initial/General Impressions
3. Reason for Coming/Presenting Concerns
4. Initial Treatment Recommendations*****
· Select 4 of the following optional sections of the Clinical Interview to complete:
1. Current and Recent Situation
2. Previous Assessments/Counseling Experiences
3. Birth and Developmental History
4. Family of Origin/Family Constellation
5. Early Recollections
6. Marital and Family Data
7. Medical History
8. Education and Training
9. Work Background/History
10. Recreation, Interests and Pleasures
11. Social Support, Communication Network, and Social Interests
12. Self-Description
13. Choices and Turning Points in Life

In conducting this clinical interview, you are bound by the same ethical and professional standards of all mental health care providers (e.g., psychologists, licensed counselors, licensed clinical social workers etc.)
Step 2: Write a Clinical Intake Report.
· Based on the information that you gather in the clinical interview, write a Clinical Intake Report.
· Your report should include summaries of the 4 required sections of the clinical interview described above as well as summaries of the 4 optional sections that you selected.

FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND DIVORCE
Personal Experience Paper 4
Date of Submission: 6/11/13
Title: Family Communication and Divorce
Author: Coral Frau
2
FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND DIVORCE
Statement of Problem: My personal experience paper is based on how divorce affects family
communication and the members of the family. I can personally relate to this because I
experienced it myself. My mom and Dad got divorced when I was 3 years old because my dad
was going to move out of the country. I have no recollection of what it means to live in a regular
family, in which both mom and dad are present. When I was 8 years old my mom got married
again and I had to adapt to our new life. Growing up I had many problems with my step dad
because I did not want to follow his rules and I felt like I did not need to pay attention to him
since he was not my father. This situation also got me in trouble with my mom because she
wanted me to accept her new husband as my new father. My mother and I have always had very
good communication until she got married again. I felt that she betrayed me, since she kept
everything hidden from me until the last minute. After that our communication started to
deteriorate little by little. According to a study published in the Journal of Social Issues, divorce
affects primary bonds with parents, presents challenges to conceptions of social reality, and
creates stress which interferes with normal development. In other words, children are extremely
affected by divorce and it can affect their communication with both or one of their parents. The
goal of my personal experience paper is to analyze how divorce affects family communication
and also how it relates to problems among the family members.
Literature Review: According to Coleman (2000), transitioning to a stepfamily is a common
challenge given that approximately half of the marriages in the United States and Canada involve
a remarriage for one or both partners. While most people enter into stepfamilies with the best
intentions for a new start, not all stepfamily members experience the transition equally. Studies
have found that children in stepfamilies have more frequent behavioral problems, turbulent
relationships and lower self-esteem than children in first marriage families (Golish, 2003).

FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND DIVORCE
According to the Journal of Social Issues, children are more prompt to communicating with their
parents when both parents are home. If the parents’ divorce, the child will stop communicating
because he or she will find him or herself in a transitional state in where he or she does not know
what to do. Another major finding is that when there is a divorce, the father that does not usually
have custody of the child will mainly communicate with him by phone and this makes the
communication much more difficult and limited (Hess, 1979). My research goal is to pr ...
**Summary of "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman**
Gary Chapman's book, "The 5 Love Languages," delves into the complexities of human relationships by exploring how individuals express and receive love. Chapman introduces the concept that each person has a primary love language through which they best perceive and communicate affection. The book categorizes these love languages into five distinct types, providing a framework for readers to better understand their own emotional needs and those of their partners.
2. Words of Affirmation:
This love language emphasizes the power of verbal expressions to convey love. Individuals with this love language appreciate compliments, words of encouragement, and verbal affirmation. Chapman explains how positive words can significantly impact relationships, boosting self-esteem and creating emotional connection.
2. Acts of Service:
For those whose love language is acts of service, actions speak louder than words. Chapman discusses the importance of performing thoughtful gestures and acts of service to demonstrate love. Simple acts like cooking a meal, completing chores, or helping with tasks can deeply resonate with individuals who prioritize this love language.
3. Receiving Gifts:
This love language revolves around the significance of tangible expressions of love. Chapman explores how thoughtful and meaningful gifts can strengthen the emotional connection between partners. The book emphasizes that it's the sentiment behind the gift that holds value rather than the material item itself.
4. Quality Time:
Quality time focuses on the importance of undivided attention and shared experiences. Chapman describes how spending meaningful time together, engaging in conversations, and being fully present are crucial components of expressing love for individuals with this love language.
5. Physical Touch:
Physical touch is identified as a love language characterized by the power of physical affection. Chapman discusses the impact of gestures such as hugs, kisses, and other forms of touch in conveying love and building intimacy. Understanding and fulfilling this need for physical closeness is vital for individuals with this love language.
Throughout the book, Chapman provides real-life examples, anecdotes, and practical advice on how individuals can identify their primary love language and that of their partners. He emphasizes the significance of open communication and a willingness to learn and adapt to each other's love languages for building lasting and fulfilling relationships.
"The 5 Love Languages" serves as a valuable guide for individuals seeking to enhance their emotional connections, fostering deeper understanding and intimacy in their relationships. By recognizing and speaking their partner's primary love language, readers are encouraged to create stronger bonds and cultivate enduring love.

Case Study #1
Young-Hwa, a 40-year-old Korean male, had immigrated to the United States 15 years ago without proper documentation. He had a hard life because, despite his training as a chef in Korea, he had difficulty finding a well-paying job without proper documentation. He also had a hard time getting along with others for long periods of time in some of the kitchens that he worked for.
He would do really well for a while talking about how much he enjoyed the job thinking that this was going to be his lucky break, but after several months he would either quit or get fired.
During these times of being out of work he is very depressed and irritable and will sleep for days without coming out of his bedroom.
After many years of various positions including kitchen assistant and assistant cook, he finally landed his dream job of a top chef in a Korean restaurant.
He recently was married to a Caucasian woman who had a daughter from a prior relationship and now they have twin sons.
Their marriage would be described as fairly good with some hard times.
His wife knows his work history and occasionally will threatened that if he messes this one up, she and the children will be leaving him.
However, most of the time she only threatens this when she is angry about not being able to .

Working at Caring Hospice Services is a very rewarding experience. The agency is located in Edison, NJ and I am serving patients in Central and Northern NJ. My supervisor currently has thirty-five patients that are on hospice care. She is expected to see each patient a minimum of twice a week.

Situation/Problem in
Pastoral Counseling
:
George and Agnes are faithful members of their local congregation and have been Christians and served the Lord for many years. George has pastored a few small churches and is now the associate pastor of a large, diverse, multi-cultural congregation. George and Agnes are in their early fifties, having raised four children, all of whom are now adults and established in various professions, including one son and one daughter who are in full time ministerial positions in other locations. Another son is a successful businessman and their fourth and youngest son is a high school teacher. Their three older children are married with families and live outside of the medium-sized metropolitan area in which their parents reside. All four children accepted Jesus Christ as Savior at an early age and have been active in various church activities and ministries throughout the years of their youth.
George and Agnes’ fourth son, Connor, is in his mid-thirties and is single. He has kept in close touch with his parents, since he lives and works in the same community and also attends their church. He has been active in the choir, in visitation ministry and in helping with youth ministry. Recently, their youngest son shared with his parents that, for many years, he has had a same-gender attraction. He explained to his parents that he has never shared these feelings with anyone in the family, or with any of his former pastors. Although he said that he tried to ignore or deny these feelings while growing up, by being active in school sports and by dating the opposite sex in high school and college, for much of his adult life he has suffered much inner conflict and depression concerning his inner feelings of attraction to other men. At one, time, unbeknownst to his parents, he met for several months with a qualified counselor, hoping that his feelings would change, but this did not occur. Although he has not counseled with a pastor, he has prayed often about this conflict throughout the years, often with many tears. He shared with his parents his deep sense of “living a life” of having to “cover-up” his feelings; of fearing that others would conclude the truth about him, since he is in his thirties and not married. When people, even his parents or siblings have asked him about marriage and setting down—having a family, he has always answered the question with a light answer, smiling and saying, “Well, I just haven’t met the right women yet.” He has come to the point of avoiding people who try to “fix him up” with a particular young woman they may know, hoping to make a match. His deep conflict, he shared with his parents, stems from his upbringing in a conservative Christian context that spoke vehemently about the sin of homosexuality and yet struggling without success to change his own feelings concerning same-sex attraction. He has felt shame, depression, anger, loneliness, feelings of alienation, deep depression at .

Colleagues #: 1
The family client is made up of a father, mother, and their son, a ten-year-old boy. The family is biracial and is made up of four people; father, mother, a ten-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter. Initially, they had visited the clinic on a referral basis from the family’s psychiatrist. They had concerns with the behavioral issues their ten-year-old son exhibited while at home as well as at school. The son is currently in fifth grade and attends a public school, the mother runs a local coffee shop in their neighborhood, and the father is a construction worker. The mother was talkative and soon started talking about stressors in life, including their son’s behavioral issues. She states that besides receiving services and extra help her son gets while at school, he is still lagging behind. The exact services had not been explained. The father did not talk much. In fact, he sat away from the family and always displayed a sarcastic grin on his face every time the mother complained. The son was friendly but did not talk much.
After assessments and evaluations, diagnostic evaluations established that the kid had ADHD. In addition to this, the family displayed tendencies of dysfunctional interactions. Once the family unit was mentioned, the mother was quick to state that she believes that there was an issue with the way the whole family functioned. She further suggested that they needed help as a family to understand their situation better as we as know why their son was having behavioral issues. Family therapy was suggested. Everyone but the father readily consented to the suggestion. He later on consented.
Over the past two sessions, the father seemed uncomfortable and hardly participated. He would once in a while tell his wife to shut up when confronted and criticized. The mother always brought up her dissatisfaction with the way her husband lacked warmth and concern for their son’s issues. She felt that the whole burden of raising their kids was on her. She further stated that without him interfering, the son would soon influence their younger daughter, which was already happening. The son spent much of the time stooped over the table due to attention being always on him. He was always silent and uncomfortable.
Interactions between the clients were more complicated than anticipated, and too much time was spent on the interaction between the mother and the therapist. A therapeutic relationship was easily formed between the mother and the therapist. The other members of the family hesitated, with a continual alli.

Grand Rounds Hi, and thanks for attending this case presen.docxwhittemorelucilla
Grand Rounds
Hi, and thanks for attending this case presentation. My name is Dr. Stephen Brewer and I am a licensed
clinical psychologist in San Diego, California and Assistant Professor of Psychology and Applied
Behavioral Sciences at Ashford University. Today, I will be sharing with you the story of Bob.
Presenting problem
Bob Smith is a 36-year-old man who came to me approximately six months ago with concerns about his
career choice and life direction. He did not have any significant psychiatric symptoms, besides some
understandable existential anxiety regarding his future. Bob was cooperative, friendly, open, and
knowledgeable about psychology during our first few sessions together. I noticed that he seemed
guarded only when talking about his family and childhood experiences. To confirm his identity, I checked
his driver’s license to ensure his name was indeed Bob Smith and that he lived close by in a mobile home
in Spring Valley. Given his relatively mild symptoms, we decided to meet once a week for supportive
psychotherapy so he could work through his anxieties. I gave him a diagnosis of adjustment disorder
with anxiety.
History
Here’s some background on Bob to give you a sense of who he is.
Family
Bob grew up as an only child in Edmonton, Canada, in a low-income, conservative, and very religious
household.
He shared that his father was largely absent during his childhood, as he spent most of the week residing
north of Edmonton, where he worked as a mechanic in the oil fields near Fort McMurray. On weekends,
Bob’s father would return home and spend as much time as possible with his family. Bob described his
father as warm, caring, and a hard worker. His father reportedly died one year ago.
Bob’s mother was described as a strict, rule-based woman who had a short temper and was prone to
furious outbursts over trivial matters. She worked in Bob’s junior high as a janitor, which meant that Bob
often crossed paths with his mother at school, where she would often check up on him. During Bob’s
high school years, Bob’s mother got a new job as a high school librarian.
At 18, Bob moved to San Diego to study psychology at San Diego State University. He lived in the dorms
for his first few years, where he easily made friends and joined a fraternity. Bob maintained contact with
his parents, but ceased all contact when his mother suggested she would move to San Diego to be closer
to him. He graduated with a 3.2 GPA and began working for the county as a psychiatric technician. He
worked as a psych tech for 14 years and described it as “fun at first, but it got boring and predictable
after a while.”
Treatment
Bob shared that he has a medical doctor that he visits once every few years for his routine physical. He
denied having any significant medical problems. Additionally, he denied using any illicit substances and
reported drinking only on occasion with friends from his fratern ...

SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably, yet throughout this course you have learned that marketing is a much larger concept that requires a
strong understanding of consumer behavior, products and services, and often the greater economic environment. Marketing is applicable to every industry and
discipline in one way or another, but within the sport industry we have the chance to see the application of marketing concepts as if under a spotlight due to the
industry’s global reach and importance to society.
Your final project is the creation of an Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. You will select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization as the focus of your
consumer and opportunity analysis. When selecting your area of focus, think about your interests and career aspirations. As you progress through the course,
you will have the opportunity to practice the skills required for this project in several milestone activities. Your final deliverable will include a strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of your selected focus; a consumer analysis; an analysis of successful marketing and media strategies;
and a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan that allows you to explain your intended use of a proven marketing strategy and various media opportunities. Please note that
your Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be an eligible artifact to include in your program portfolio, as it will highlight your ability to recognize consumer
characteristics and opportunities for brand improvement.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
• Analyze consumer behaviors for the influence of political, cultural, and social events on consumer motivation at the local, national, or international
levels within the sport industry
• Illustrate the application of key marketing strategies in successful sport-specific marketing campaigns
• Identify proven marketing strategies that can be successfully applied to specific sport marketing scenarios to attract consumers
• Compare media opportunities for successfully communicating and marketing towards specific consumers within the sport industry
Prompt
Develop a comprehensive Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. Select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization and provide a thorough analysis of the
existing marketing strategies and consumers, and determine an opportunity for greater consumer reach. Outline a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan for the marketing
opportunity.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Regardless of its purpose, no psychological evaluation is complete without historical or background information about an examinee. Historical information about the examinee is absolutely necessary to an evaluator when he/she interprets results from psychological tests because similar patterns of test scores could suggest different things about examinees with different life experiences. Background information usually is gathered in an interview, but a biographical information sheet completed by the examinee also can be very useful. Typically, information regarding the examinee's family and social/relationship history, work experience, educational history, and medical and legal problems is gathered. Additionally, the evaluator is interested in an examinee's self-perceptions, significant life experiences, goals/aspirations etc.
For the current assignment, imagine that you are a therapist at a Christian Counseling Center, and you are assigned a new client from whom you must collect historical information.
Step 1: Conduct a Clinical Interview.

FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND DIVORCE
Personal Experience Paper 4
Date of Submission: 6/11/13
Title: Family Communication and Divorce
Author: Coral Frau

FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND DIVORCE
Statement of Problem: My personal experience paper is based on how divorce affects family
communication and the members of the family. I can personally relate to this because I
experienced it myself. My mom and Dad got divorced when I was 3 years old because my dad
was going to move out of the country. I have no recollection of what it means to live in a regular
family, in which both mom and dad are present. When I was 8 years old my mom got married
again and I had to adapt to our new life. Growing up I had many problems with my step dad
because I did not want to follow his rules and I felt like I did not need to pay attention to him
since he was not my father. This situation also got me in trouble with my mom because she
wanted me to accept her new husband as my new father. My mother and I have always had very
good communication until she got married again. I felt that she betrayed me, since she kept
everything hidden from me until the last minute. After that our communication started to
deteriorate little by little. According to a study published in the Journal of Social Issues, divorce
affects primary bonds with parents, presents challenges to conceptions of social reality, and
creates stress which interferes with normal development. In other words, children are extremely
affected by divorce and it can affect their communication with both or one of their parents. The
goal of my personal experience paper is to analyze how divorce affects family communication
and also how it relates to problems among the family members.
Literature Review: According to Coleman (2000), transitioning to a stepfamily is a common
challenge given that approximately half of the marriages in the United States and Canada involve
a remarriage for one or both partners. While most people enter into stepfamilies with the best
intentions for a new start, not all stepfamily members experience the transition equally. Studies
have found that children in stepfamilies have more frequent behavioral problems, turbulent
relationships and lower self-esteem than children in first marriage families (Golish, 2003).

FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND DIVORCE
According to the Journal of Social Issues, children are more prompt to communicating with their
parents when both parents are home. If the parents’ divorce, the child will stop communicating
because he or she will find him or herself in a transitional state in where he or she does not know
what to do. Another major finding is that when there is a divorce, the father that does not usually
have custody of the child will mainly communicate with him by phone and this makes the
communication much more difficult and limited (Hess, 1979). My research goal is to pr ...
**Summary of "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman**
Gary Chapman's book, "The 5 Love Languages," delves into the complexities of human relationships by exploring how individuals express and receive love. Chapman introduces the concept that each person has a primary love language through which they best perceive and communicate affection. The book categorizes these love languages into five distinct types, providing a framework for readers to better understand their own emotional needs and those of their partners.
2. Words of Affirmation:
This love language emphasizes the power of verbal expressions to convey love. Individuals with this love language appreciate compliments, words of encouragement, and verbal affirmation. Chapman explains how positive words can significantly impact relationships, boosting self-esteem and creating emotional connection.
2. Acts of Service:
For those whose love language is acts of service, actions speak louder than words. Chapman discusses the importance of performing thoughtful gestures and acts of service to demonstrate love. Simple acts like cooking a meal, completing chores, or helping with tasks can deeply resonate with individuals who prioritize this love language.
3. Receiving Gifts:
This love language revolves around the significance of tangible expressions of love. Chapman explores how thoughtful and meaningful gifts can strengthen the emotional connection between partners. The book emphasizes that it's the sentiment behind the gift that holds value rather than the material item itself.
4. Quality Time:
Quality time focuses on the importance of undivided attention and shared experiences. Chapman describes how spending meaningful time together, engaging in conversations, and being fully present are crucial components of expressing love for individuals with this love language.
5. Physical Touch:
Physical touch is identified as a love language characterized by the power of physical affection. Chapman discusses the impact of gestures such as hugs, kisses, and other forms of touch in conveying love and building intimacy. Understanding and fulfilling this need for physical closeness is vital for individuals with this love language.
Throughout the book, Chapman provides real-life examples, anecdotes, and practical advice on how individuals can identify their primary love language and that of their partners. He emphasizes the significance of open communication and a willingness to learn and adapt to each other's love languages for building lasting and fulfilling relationships.
"The 5 Love Languages" serves as a valuable guide for individuals seeking to enhance their emotional connections, fostering deeper understanding and intimacy in their relationships. By recognizing and speaking their partner's primary love language, readers are encouraged to create stronger bonds and cultivate enduring love.

Case Study #1
Young-Hwa, a 40-year-old Korean male, had immigrated to the United States 15 years ago without proper documentation. He had a hard life because, despite his training as a chef in Korea, he had difficulty finding a well-paying job without proper documentation. He also had a hard time getting along with others for long periods of time in some of the kitchens that he worked for.
He would do really well for a while talking about how much he enjoyed the job thinking that this was going to be his lucky break, but after several months he would either quit or get fired.
During these times of being out of work he is very depressed and irritable and will sleep for days without coming out of his bedroom.
After many years of various positions including kitchen assistant and assistant cook, he finally landed his dream job of a top chef in a Korean restaurant.
He recently was married to a Caucasian woman who had a daughter from a prior relationship and now they have twin sons.
Their marriage would be described as fairly good with some hard times.
His wife knows his work history and occasionally will threatened that if he messes this one up, she and the children will be leaving him.
However, most of the time she only threatens this when she is angry about not being able to .

Situation/Problem in
Pastoral Counseling
:
George and Agnes are faithful members of their local congregation and have been Christians and served the Lord for many years. George has pastored a few small churches and is now the associate pastor of a large, diverse, multi-cultural congregation. George and Agnes are in their early fifties, having raised four children, all of whom are now adults and established in various professions, including one son and one daughter who are in full time ministerial positions in other locations. Another son is a successful businessman and their fourth and youngest son is a high school teacher. Their three older children are married with families and live outside of the medium-sized metropolitan area in which their parents reside. All four children accepted Jesus Christ as Savior at an early age and have been active in various church activities and ministries throughout the years of their youth.
George and Agnes’ fourth son, Connor, is in his mid-thirties and is single. He has kept in close touch with his parents, since he lives and works in the same community and also attends their church. He has been active in the choir, in visitation ministry and in helping with youth ministry. Recently, their youngest son shared with his parents that, for many years, he has had a same-gender attraction. He explained to his parents that he has never shared these feelings with anyone in the family, or with any of his former pastors. Although he said that he tried to ignore or deny these feelings while growing up, by being active in school sports and by dating the opposite sex in high school and college, for much of his adult life he has suffered much inner conflict and depression concerning his inner feelings of attraction to other men. At one, time, unbeknownst to his parents, he met for several months with a qualified counselor, hoping that his feelings would change, but this did not occur. Although he has not counseled with a pastor, he has prayed often about this conflict throughout the years, often with many tears. He shared with his parents his deep sense of “living a life” of having to “cover-up” his feelings; of fearing that others would conclude the truth about him, since he is in his thirties and not married. When people, even his parents or siblings have asked him about marriage and setting down—having a family, he has always answered the question with a light answer, smiling and saying, “Well, I just haven’t met the right women yet.” He has come to the point of avoiding people who try to “fix him up” with a particular young woman they may know, hoping to make a match. His deep conflict, he shared with his parents, stems from his upbringing in a conservative Christian context that spoke vehemently about the sin of homosexuality and yet struggling without success to change his own feelings concerning same-sex attraction. He has felt shame, depression, anger, loneliness, feelings of alienation, deep depression at .

Colleagues #: 1
The family client is made up of a father, mother, and their son, a ten-year-old boy. The family is biracial and is made up of four people; father, mother, a ten-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter. Initially, they had visited the clinic on a referral basis from the family’s psychiatrist. They had concerns with the behavioral issues their ten-year-old son exhibited while at home as well as at school. The son is currently in fifth grade and attends a public school, the mother runs a local coffee shop in their neighborhood, and the father is a construction worker. The mother was talkative and soon started talking about stressors in life, including their son’s behavioral issues. She states that besides receiving services and extra help her son gets while at school, he is still lagging behind. The exact services had not been explained. The father did not talk much. In fact, he sat away from the family and always displayed a sarcastic grin on his face every time the mother complained. The son was friendly but did not talk much.
After assessments and evaluations, diagnostic evaluations established that the kid had ADHD. In addition to this, the family displayed tendencies of dysfunctional interactions. Once the family unit was mentioned, the mother was quick to state that she believes that there was an issue with the way the whole family functioned. She further suggested that they needed help as a family to understand their situation better as we as know why their son was having behavioral issues. Family therapy was suggested. Everyone but the father readily consented to the suggestion. He later on consented.
Over the past two sessions, the father seemed uncomfortable and hardly participated. He would once in a while tell his wife to shut up when confronted and criticized. The mother always brought up her dissatisfaction with the way her husband lacked warmth and concern for their son’s issues. She felt that the whole burden of raising their kids was on her. She further stated that without him interfering, the son would soon influence their younger daughter, which was already happening. The son spent much of the time stooped over the table due to attention being always on him. He was always silent and uncomfortable.
Interactions between the clients were more complicated than anticipated, and too much time was spent on the interaction between the mother and the therapist. A therapeutic relationship was easily formed between the mother and the therapist. The other members of the family hesitated, with a continual alli.

Grand Rounds Hi, and thanks for attending this case presen.docxwhittemorelucilla
Grand Rounds
Hi, and thanks for attending this case presentation. My name is Dr. Stephen Brewer and I am a licensed
clinical psychologist in San Diego, California and Assistant Professor of Psychology and Applied
Behavioral Sciences at Ashford University. Today, I will be sharing with you the story of Bob.
Presenting problem
Bob Smith is a 36-year-old man who came to me approximately six months ago with concerns about his
career choice and life direction. He did not have any significant psychiatric symptoms, besides some
understandable existential anxiety regarding his future. Bob was cooperative, friendly, open, and
knowledgeable about psychology during our first few sessions together. I noticed that he seemed
guarded only when talking about his family and childhood experiences. To confirm his identity, I checked
his driver’s license to ensure his name was indeed Bob Smith and that he lived close by in a mobile home
in Spring Valley. Given his relatively mild symptoms, we decided to meet once a week for supportive
psychotherapy so he could work through his anxieties. I gave him a diagnosis of adjustment disorder
with anxiety.
History
Here’s some background on Bob to give you a sense of who he is.
Family
Bob grew up as an only child in Edmonton, Canada, in a low-income, conservative, and very religious
household.
He shared that his father was largely absent during his childhood, as he spent most of the week residing
north of Edmonton, where he worked as a mechanic in the oil fields near Fort McMurray. On weekends,
Bob’s father would return home and spend as much time as possible with his family. Bob described his
father as warm, caring, and a hard worker. His father reportedly died one year ago.
Bob’s mother was described as a strict, rule-based woman who had a short temper and was prone to
furious outbursts over trivial matters. She worked in Bob’s junior high as a janitor, which meant that Bob
often crossed paths with his mother at school, where she would often check up on him. During Bob’s
high school years, Bob’s mother got a new job as a high school librarian.
At 18, Bob moved to San Diego to study psychology at San Diego State University. He lived in the dorms
for his first few years, where he easily made friends and joined a fraternity. Bob maintained contact with
his parents, but ceased all contact when his mother suggested she would move to San Diego to be closer
to him. He graduated with a 3.2 GPA and began working for the county as a psychiatric technician. He
worked as a psych tech for 14 years and described it as “fun at first, but it got boring and predictable
after a while.”
Treatment
Bob shared that he has a medical doctor that he visits once every few years for his routine physical. He
denied having any significant medical problems. Additionally, he denied using any illicit substances and
reported drinking only on occasion with friends from his fratern ...

SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably, yet throughout this course you have learned that marketing is a much larger concept that requires a
strong understanding of consumer behavior, products and services, and often the greater economic environment. Marketing is applicable to every industry and
discipline in one way or another, but within the sport industry we have the chance to see the application of marketing concepts as if under a spotlight due to the
industry’s global reach and importance to society.
Your final project is the creation of an Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. You will select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization as the focus of your
consumer and opportunity analysis. When selecting your area of focus, think about your interests and career aspirations. As you progress through the course,
you will have the opportunity to practice the skills required for this project in several milestone activities. Your final deliverable will include a strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of your selected focus; a consumer analysis; an analysis of successful marketing and media strategies;
and a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan that allows you to explain your intended use of a proven marketing strategy and various media opportunities. Please note that
your Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be an eligible artifact to include in your program portfolio, as it will highlight your ability to recognize consumer
characteristics and opportunities for brand improvement.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
• Analyze consumer behaviors for the influence of political, cultural, and social events on consumer motivation at the local, national, or international
levels within the sport industry
• Illustrate the application of key marketing strategies in successful sport-specific marketing campaigns
• Identify proven marketing strategies that can be successfully applied to specific sport marketing scenarios to attract consumers
• Compare media opportunities for successfully communicating and marketing towards specific consumers within the sport industry
Prompt
Develop a comprehensive Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. Select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization and provide a thorough analysis of the
existing marketing strategies and consumers, and determine an opportunity for greater consumer reach. Outline a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan for the marketing
opportunity.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Three Mountains Regional Hospital Code of Ethics
Progressive developments in science and technology in the 20th century contributed to advances in healthcare and medicine that have helped many lives. Healthcare professionals are confronted with ethical dilemmas and moral questions as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing. Healthcare specialists are required to be dedicated to excellence within their professional practice of promoting community, organizational, family, and individual health. Healthcare code of ethics provides a platform for shared professional values (Wocial & Tarzian, 2015). It is the responsibility of healthcare specialists to reach the best possible standards of conduct and to encourage these ethical practices to those with whom they work together. Healthcare professionals are facing challenges as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing.
The Three Mountains Regional Hospital code of ethics will clarify the roles and responsibilities within the healthcare profession. The code of ethics will also guide the healthcare professionals on addressing common ethical questions. With 15,000 admissions annually, the Three Mountains Regional Hospital requires a code of ethics that will guide the healthcare professionals in the hospital in dealing with such a capacity. Healthcare professionals from the hospital will be defined by their purpose but not their job description (Turner & Epstein, 2015). The proposed code of ethics will inform individual decision-making when faced with ethical situations within a given relationship or role at the Three Mountains Regional Hospital.
Ethics are an essential part of healthcare, and they should provide value in practical situations. The proposed code of ethics will provide a structure and shape to the Three Mountains Regional Hospital’s environment and summarize the healthcare organization’s ethical position. The code of ethics will describe the ethical attitude shared by healthcare workers at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, and it will be valuable and influential on the success of the healthcare organization. The mission of the code of ethics is to guide the hospital is leading the way to a healthier community through the provision of quality care.
Code of Ethics
· Uphold the policies of the Three Mountains Regional Hospital (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect the intellectual, physical, and electronic property of the hospital (Hoppe & Lenk, 2016).
· Promote a healthy, secure, and safe working environment (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Act responsibly and honestly by avoiding perceived or actual conflicts of interest (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect and respect the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals and informat.

EVOLUTION OF ROCK
MCY 127
Course Description:
This general education course is a study of the birth and evolution of the music form of Rock and Roll. It is a study of both the historical and musical elements of rock with a focus on the performers and the songs in the genre. Some of the objectives for this course include:
Increasing awareness of the wide range of musical styles that “add up” to form rock
Provide insight on the cultural evolution of rock and how it applies to society
Study how technological advances have influenced both the performers and composers in rock

Course Requirements and Grading:

Midterm exam 25%
Test 3 20%
Final exam 25%
Essay on live musical performance 10%
Essay assignment will consist of attending a live musical performance at the Frost School of Music (or approved off campus performance). At the conclusion of the performance, you will obtain signatures of two or more participants. You will compose an essay that will summarize the performance (ensemble, repertoire, etc.). You will compare and/or contrast the performance with details we have studied in class. The essay should be two to three pages long, computer printed, double spaced, and stapled. It will be due on Thursday, November 19.
Conduct and rules:
Rock and roll is a joyous art form. I intend for the class to be a fun and learning environment. I hope to engage you as adults, not as adolescents. However, inappropriate language or behavior to one another will not be tolerated, and will result in the student facing disciplinary action and potential removal from the class. You are adults. I am not your baby-sitter. If you fail to attend class regularly, you will find it much more difficult to excel in the course. SHOW UP AND PAY ATTENTION! It will make your life easier in the long run. Plagiarism on your essay will not be acceptable, and will result in the loss of 10% of your final grade. Cheating is rampant. While I will make every effort to curb the options students might have to copy one another on tests, I can’t stop it completely. I will have assistance from the Honor Council on test days, and cheating will result in a zero on that test. None of you can afford this. I truly believe that if you will engage the material, come to the lectures, and actively listen to the required listening material, you will not find a need to cheat.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by any of the material, please make an appointment to meet with me during office hours.
Lectures and listening:
Each class will consist of a lecture and a period of listening to music appropriate to that lecture. The music played in class will be made available to you through Blackboard in addition. You will be responsible for the material presented.

What Is
the Theory
f ̂ Fiof
y
Firm?
Focus less on competitive advantage and more on growth
that creates value, by Todd Zenger
f asked to define strategy, most execu-
tives would probably come up with
something like this: Strategy involves
discovering and targeting attractive
markets and then crafting positions that
deliver sustained competitive advan-
tage in them. Companies achieve these
positions by configuring and arranging
resources and activities to provide either
unique value to customers or common
value at a uniquely low cost. This view of strategy as
position remains central in business school curricula
around the globe: Valuable positions, protected from
imitation and appropriation, provide sustained profit
streams.
Unfortunately, investors don't reward senior
managers for simply occupying and defending po-
sitions. Equity markets are full of companies with
powerful positions and sluggish stock prices. The
retail giant Walmart is a case in point. Few people
would dispute that it remains a remarkable firm. Its
early focus on building a regionally dense network
of stores in small towns delivered a strong positional
advantage. Complementary choices regarding ad-
vertising, pricing, and information technology all
continue to support its low-cost and flexibly mer-
chandised stores.
Despite this strong position and a successful stra-
tegic rollout, Walmart's equity price has seen little
growth for most of the past 12 or 13 years. That's be-
cause the ongoing rollout was anticipated long ago,
and investors seek evidence of newly discovered
value—value of compounding magnitude. Merely
sustaining prior financial returns, even if they are
outstanding, does not significantly increase share
price; tomorrow's positive surprises must be worth
more than yesterday's.
Not surprisingly, I consistently advise MBA stu-
dents that if they're confronted with a choice be-
tween leading a poorly run company and leading a
well-run one, they should choose the former. Imag-
ine assuming the reins of GE from Jack Welch in Sep-
tember 2001 with shareholders' having enjoyed a 40-
fold increase in value over the prior two decades. The
expectations baked into the share price of a company
like that are daunting, to say the least.
To make matters worse, attempts to grow often
undermine a company's current market position.
As Michael Porter, the leading proponent of strat-
egy as positioning, has argued, "Efforts to grow blur

uniqueness, create compromises, reduce fit, and
ultimately undermine competitive advantage. In
fact, the growth imperative is hazardous to strategy."
Quite simply, the logic of this perspective not only
provides little guidance about how to sustain value
creation but also discourages growth that might in
einy way move a compeiny away from i.

July–August 2015 Harvard Business Review 55
These feelings aren’t new. They’ve erupted now
and in the past because we don’t like being told how
to behave—and no other group in organizational life,
not even finance, bosses us around as systematically
as HR does. We get defensive when we’re instructed
to change how we interact with people, especially
those who report to us, because that goes right to the
core of who we are. What’s more, HR makes us per-
form tasks we dislike, such as documenting problems
with employees. And it prevents us from doing what
we want, such as hiring someone we “just know” is
a good fit. Its directives affect every person in the
organization, right up to the top, every single day.
The complaints also have a cyclical quality—
they’re driven largely by the business context. Usu-
ally when companies are struggling with labor issues,
HR is seen as a valued leadership partner. When
things are going more smoothly all around, manag-
ers tend to think, “What’s HR doing for us, anyway?”
This doesn’t mean that HR is above reproach.
Quite the contrary: It has plenty of room to improve,
and this is a moment of enormous opportunity. Little
has been done in the past few decades to examine the
value of widely used practices that are central to how
companies operate. By separating the effective from
the worthless, HR leaders can secure huge payoffs for
their organizations. But it’s important to understand
HR’s tumultuous history with business leaders and
the economy before turning our attention to what the
function should be doing now and in the future.
The “Personnel” Pendulum
How top executives feel about HR pretty reliably re-
flects what’s going on in the U.S. economy. When the
economy is down and the labor market is slack, they
see HR as a nuisance. But sentiments change when
labor tightens up and HR practices become essential
to companies’ immediate success.
Think back to the Great Depression. People would
put up with nearly anything to stay employed. Line
managers complained that personnel departments
were getting in the way of better performance, which
they thought could be achieved with the “drive” sys-
tem: threatening workers and sometimes even hit-
ting them if they failed to measure up.
Similarly, business leaders didn’t put a lot of
stock in HR during the 2001 and 2008 recessions, be-
cause employees—keenly aware of how replaceable

Several service providers (including event
agency, TV commercialisation,
TV production, etc.).
Campaign summary
Launched in 2009, the year of Audi’s 100th anniversary,
the Audi Cup is a pre-seasonal worldwide football
tournament. Leading teams including FC Barcelona,
Real Madrid and Manchester United meet in Munich
for the biennial Audi Cup during the summer break in
football.
The event is an owned and mainly refinanced
platform by Audi with a strong international media
presence, achieving around 2.5 billion consumer
contacts across television and online media at each
tournament in around 200 countries. With cutting-edge
technologies as an integral part of its staging and
coverage, the event provides a global opportunity to
highlight Audi’s “Vorsprung durch Technik” values.
Planning
Business needs
The Audi Cup provides an ideal platform to present
a strong, resonating connection between top-level
international football and the brand’s “Vorsprung
durch Technik” positioning. Audi has been involved in
international football for over 14 years and the launch
of the Audi Cup in 2009 established a new benchmark
in proprietary sports marketing, creating a whole new
way for Audi to implement its own rights in a highly
controlled and targeted manner.
Taking a “high-tech” approach to the world of
football broadcasting and marketing, the Audi Cup
meets the clear business need for Audi to demonstrate

and underpin its core brand proposition as a highly
innovative, technologically advanced automotive
company.
The development and implementation of tools
including the first ever implementation of digital overlay
of led boards in live broadcasting and the first ever live
holographic press conference in sport, a dedicated
chatbot and Alexa Skill and the Audi Player Index, not
only underline Audi’s status as a “high-tech” brand but
genuinely enhance enjoyment of the tournament for
fans, building a truly relevant connection.
Sponsorship selection
Audi’s long association with football, with its focus on
high-profile, global clubs, saw the brand develop from
a classic sponsor to an owner and organiser of various
leading platforms in its own right – the Audi Cup, Audi
Summer Tour and Audi Football Summit. With these
properties and its year-round association with the
game, Audi set itself the goal of elevating its successful
sponsorships into full ownership; Audi shifted from a
host or a marque associated with the.

Annotated Bibliography
You second major project for the course will be an annotated bibliography. Instead of writing a
paper, an annotated bibliography requires you to research a particular legal topic or question, of
your choosing, in sports and find academic and law review articles that address that topic. You
will develop a question about a legal topic in sports and find seven law review articles to
summarize. Each article summary should be 300-350 words in length and should both explain
the contents of the article and its relevance to your question or topic. The summaries should be
written in your own words. You are required to select law review articles using LexisNexis. The
format for the annotated bibliography is explained below.
Please put your topic as the title for your paper. Next, each annotation should begin with the
APA citation for the article in bold print (do not include web links), followed by a summary of
the article (300-350 words) explaining how it addresses your question. The complete annotated
bibliography should be double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. You
will be submitting it through Turnitin via Canvas, do not include your name, course number,
date or UFID on your annotated bibliography (similar to the case briefs). You should start each
annotation on a separate page, and please remember to begin each annotation with the APA
citation for the article as instructed above. This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Speech Environment and Recording Requirements• You must have a.docxsusanschei
Speech Environment and Recording Requirements
• You must have an audience of at least 5 adults 18 years or older for all speeches. The audience must be live and in person, that is, physically present. Virtual attendance is not permitted. Your video recording must show the 5 individuals sitting as ENGAGED audience members. The audience should be visible before, during, and after the speech and you should be facing your audience. The camera should be placed behind your audience.
• You are required to record and post all 3 speeches in order to earn a passing grade in this course.
• The video must be of a high enough quality that the instructor is able to see your full facial expressions and gestures. Your instructor will need to be able to hear your voice very clearly. You risk a failing grade if your instructor is not able to discern facial expressions or subtle changes of vocal intonation on the recording.
• Be sure to record your presentation from head to toe. Your instructor needs to be able to see your posture and other elements.
• Be certain to record your video in landscape (wide), not portrait (tall).
• You may not stop the recording and re-record a section of your speech. What you
submit must be a complete presentation from start to finish with NO EDITING. You could record your speech a few times and then pick the best presentation to send. Just make sure you only submit one copy of your best speech.
• You will upload your speech following the YouTube directions and proper privacy guidelines. Speech capture directions and instructions are in Module 1 of the Blackboard online classroom.
• Be certain to provide a video link to your speech that is available for your instructor and college administrators to view without requiring passwords or special permissions. Submitting a link that does not immediately provide this access results in a failing grade for your speech and could result in a failing grade for the course. You cannot use Google Hangouts or other mediated communication in place of a live audience. Your live audience must be physically present at the location you deliver your speech.
• Any attempt to circumvent live speech audience requirements perceived by your instructor as deceptive, dishonest or otherwise disingenuous results in a zero for your speech with no opportunity to make it up and may result in a failing grade in the course and referral to the appropriate FSCJ administrative official for academic dishonesty.
• The video link (URL) you provide for your speech must remain posted, active and viewable until 14 calendar days following the official scheduled end of the semester, according to the official FSCJ academic calendar. Removing your speech from the URL or link you provide automatically reverts any score you have to a zero and will result in a failing grade for the course.
• Attempts to work around presenting in front of a live audience are considered academic dishonesty.
• Posting your speech on a screen or readin.
Sped4 Interview 2.10.17 Audio.m4aJodee [000008] And we are .docxsusanschei
Sped4 Interview 2.10.17 Audio.m4a
Jodee: [00:00:08] And we are looking at the collaborative process between secondary special ed teachers and transitioning and transition specialists when transitioning students with autism spectrum disorder or other disabilities from secondary to higher. OK so the first question is is describe the condition process as you understand it from the guidelines of the secondary transition plan.
Sped4: [00:00:52] OK. So first thing is a series of assessments that are appropriate for assessing it can include you know obviously interviewing the teacher not not the teacher the student and then sometimes parents are involved in that process. Then there's other batteries of tests. Things like the couter doing AZCIS things other interests inventories and things of that nature to get that. Looking at transcripts students grades grade reports in those things and taking those all that data and that assessment information and looking at that.That's my understanding and interpretation and kind of what I do.
Jodee: [00:01:46] So you know it's the responsibility of the secondary teacher special ed teacher as the case manager to interview the students. And you know one of the big pieces that we look at is the age appropriate goals. You know if you've got a student who is who is autistic academically They're very bright. They can do the work but they have absolutely zero social skills. And they want you maybe studied to be. They want to go into broadcast journalism or something along those lines. So it's like having you determined you know is it like a collaborative effort. You determine and work with the other person you know because sometimes you have to be that person and say yes might not be the best fit for you. How does that kind of playing into things.
Sped4: [00:02:51] I don't know like I don't mind doing that or being the one.
Sped4: [00:02:58] I haven't run into that exact situation but I have other situations where students wanted to go straight to university from high school and just had these visions of grandeur. But their GPA would not allow for that or they had other deficiencies and things of that nature. And so it's just it's sometimes it's like literally printing out the requirement and showing them just saying you know these aren't going to work. It's not a possibility. However it doesn't mean that you can't go on to higher education. And just providing them alternative routes like one if there is enough time if there for example is there a sophomore or a junior. You know we look at like Well is there enough time to get rid of these deficiencies. Can you take some of these courses. Can you do that to get your GPA up to get rid of the deficiencies et cetera. Is that feasible. Is that feasible with money or mom is mom and dad going to pay for that you know. And is there enough time or looking. OK well if that's not an option then community college is not necessarily a bad thing to do it right. When did yo.

Sped Focus Group.m4a
Jodee: [00:00:01] This is a focus group with the secondary special education teachers. So anybody feel free to chime in and we just talked about the secondary transition plan and theoretical principles of Situation and support. So the first question is How does political correctness influence transition process. So think about some of the terminology that's changed. For example we don't refer to kids with cognitive impairment as being mentally retarded. So how does that PC influence the transition process. And anybody can feel free to speak up if they would like.
TS5: [00:00:49] Well I guess I'll start because I'm probably the least politically correct person around. I think you make an example of the fact of you know you know with. What you can and cannot say Well not everybody is up to date on the current lingo and everybody apparently might may be in denial about where their child is at cognitively when using certain terms they may expect more from their or their child than they're actually capable because we're not using terms of people understand or that people use. Obviously I'm not talking about in a hurtful way but you know I mean I have a student now that he's I guess they went out of their way to label him. You know he has a label of autism. But I keep telling these people on my autism is not his problem his cognitive is his problem as long as that IEP keeps talking about autism then that seems to be the direction of where they want to go with the services. And and I keep saying that autism is not the problem. So that's just my 2 cents on.
Jodee: [00:02:12] How has that worked so far just to kind of pair off your response on that TS5 how has it like you're able to see that it's not the Autism that's a problem. How do you stear that to the correct path and have deal with this and what the kid is capable of doing regarding transition.
Sped5: [00:02:34] Well I was fortunate in this area where I think it was an issue of the mom was in denial that it wasn't all the other teachers were like no. This is what this is what he needs. You know because of the IEP I'm trying to get him. You know support all the time and it's just a matter of when they look at the IEP and says why is it that it will be this and this and I'm like I didn't write the IEPP I didn't put down autism. I'll just tell you what I see now what I have and that's what it is. And so it wasn't until at an an IEP meeting that the other teachers who see them every day too are like no this is where he's at. He needs the support he needs this because of x y z. So you know that's just for example.
Jodee: [00:03:25] Okay TS7 I'm going to kind of put you on the spot on for a minute when we talked a couple of days ago about that one student what were some of the things that you might have encountered in working with the parents on regarding transitioning him. And you know just to give a bit with a bit of background history it was a young man diagnosed with.

SPECIAL ISSUE ON POLITICAL VIOLENCE
Research on Social Movements and Political Violence
Donatella della Porta
Published online: 15 July 2008
# Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008
Abstract Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been
episodic, and studies of different forms of political violence have followed different
approaches, with “breakdown” theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing radicalism,
social movement theories sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and
area study specialists focusing on ethnic and religious forms. Some of the studies on extreme
forms of political violence that have emerged within the social movement tradition have
nevertheless been able to trace processes of conflict escalation through the detailed exam-
ination of historical cases. This article assesses some of the knowledge acquired in previous
research approaching issues of political violence from the social movement perspective, as
well as the challenges coming from new waves of debate on terrorist and counterterrorist
action and discourses. In doing this, the article reviews contributions coming from research
looking at violence as escalation of action repertoires within protest cycles; political
opportunity and the state in escalation processes; resource mobilization and violent
organizations; narratives of violence; and militant constructions of external reality.
Keywords Political violence . Social movements
Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been episodic, with
some peaks in periods of high visibility of terrorist attacks, but little accumulation of results.
There are several reasons for this. First, some of the research has been considered to be more
oriented towards developing antiterrorist policies than to a social science understanding of the
phenomenon. In fact, “many who have written about terrorism have been directly or indirectly
involved in the business of counterterrorism, and their vision has been narrowed and distorted
by the search for effective responses to terrorism…. [S]ocial movement scholars, with very few
exceptions, have said little about terrorism” (Goodwin 2004, p. 259). Second, studies of
different forms of political violence have followed different approaches, with “breakdown”
theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing radicalism, social movement theories
sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and area study specialists focusing
on ethnic and religious forms. Third, and most fundamentally, there has been a tendency to reify

Introduction
There has been growing interest in a range of disciplines
(Ackroyd and Fleetwood 2000; Danermark et al. 2002;
Fleetwood 1999; Fleetwood and Ackroyd 2004), not least
information systems (Dobson 2001; Longshore Smith 2006;
Mingers 2004b; Mutch 2010b; Volkoff et al. 2007; Wynn and
Williams 2012) in ideas derived from the philosophical tradi-
tion of critical realism. Critical realism offers exciting pros-
pects in shifting attention toward the real problems that we
face and their underlying causes, and away from a focus on
data and methods of analysis. As such, it offers a robust
framework for the use of a variety of methods in order to gain
a better understanding of the meaning and significance of
information systems in the contemporary world.
Although the term critical realism has been used in a number
of different traditions, we are primarily concerned with that
developed from the foundational work of Roy Bhaskar in the
philosophy of science, later extended in the social arena by
authors such as Archer and Sayer (Archer et al. 1998; Bhaskar
1978, 1979; Mingers 2004b; Sayer 2000). In this tradition,
the benefits of CR are seen as:
• CR defends a strongly realist ontology that there is an
existing, causally efficacious, world independent of our
knowledge. It defends this against both classical positi-
vism that would reduce the world to that which can be
empirically observed and measured, and the various
forms of constructivism that would reduce the world to
our human knowledge of it. Hence it is realist.
• CR recognizes that our access to this world is in fact
limited and always mediated by our perceptual and theo-
retical lenses. It accepts epistemic relativity (that knowl-
edge is always local and historical), but not judgmental
relativity (that all viewpoints must be equally valid).
Hence it is critical in a Kantian sense.
• CR accepts the existence of different types of objects of
knowledge—physical, social, and conceptual—which
have different ontological and epistemological charac-
teristics. They therefore require a range of different
research methods and methodologies to access them.
Since a particular object of research may well have
different characteristics, it is likely that a mixed-method
research strategy (i.e., a variety of methods in the same
research study) will be necessary and CR supports this.
In this introduction, we will first introduce the basic concepts
of critical realism as a philosophy of science.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

Iman A. Student
Clinical Intake Report
Liberty University
2. CLINICAL REPORT 2
CLINICAL INTAKE REPORT
1. CLIENT DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Mrs. M is a 31-year-old, married, white female who lives with
her husband of three and a half years.
They currently have no children. Her primary language is
English, and her religious affiliation (which
she reports as important to her) is Christianity. As an LPC,
Mrs. M reports earning an annual income
of approximately 50K.
2. INITIAL/GENERAL IMPRESSIONS
Mrs. M is approximately 5’3” and moderately overweight. Her
general appearance was neat and
professional (dress pants and blouse). She was very friendly
and open in her interactions, both
verbally and with her body language. Mrs. M. was actively
engaged in the interview process, and
seemed interested and attentive throughout the entire length of
the interview. She was well-spoken
and appeared to be intelligent. Mrs. M’s facial expressions,
body language and tone of voice
indicated a euthymic and reasonably positive mood throughout
3. the interview. Of particular note,
however, is that Mrs. M. seemed to laugh at inappropriate times
(e.g., when describing some of her
current frustrations with her husband, when describing the loss
of her older sister, and when
discussing her experiences with sexual abuse as a child).
3. REASON FOR COMING/PRESENTING CONCERNS
Mrs. M has been married for 3.5 years. She reports that the
marriage “is not working”, and that she is
“very unhappy in the marriage.” Her dissatisfaction began
within the first month of marriage when she
began to feel like she “made a mistake” and “rushed into
something that [she] was not ready for.”
When asked how she might be contributing to her current
marital unhappiness, she replied, “I said ‘I
do’ before I realized what I was getting into.”
Mrs. M. went on to report that she felt deceived by her husband
because he did things while they
were dating that stopped within the first month after they were
married. When asked for examples,
Mrs. M said, “going to church together, praying together, going
out with friends together, and even
holding a steady job.” Mrs. M reported that when they were
dating, her husband presented himself as
“a motivated, well-rounded person with peer support.” Mrs. M
said that after they married, Mr. M
dropped all of his friends, and she became his “sole
relationship.” She reports feeling pressured to
stay at home with her husband when she would like to be going
out with friends. Further, she says
that Mr. M is resentful when she does go out with her friends.
4. She says it feels like her husband
“wants her home—all to himself.” Mrs. M also reports that her
husband quit his job soon after they
married, and hasn’t earned a steady income throughout their
marriage. She is deeply unhappy and
frustrated with being the sole financial supporter of the
household.
Mrs. M reports that her marital unhappiness is a severe concern
to her, and it is the primary reason
that she is coming in for counseling. Her marital issues could
end up as a legal issue if the marriage
ends in divorce.
Timeline/History of presenting concern(s): Mrs. M’s marital
dissatisfaction began nearly 3.5 years ago,
about 1 mo. after she married. It was at that time that her
husband started acting differently than
when they were dating. Over the first year of the marriage, her
husband began working less and less,
until he finally just quit his job and stopped contributing
entirely to the financial and practical facets of
the marriage relationship. Mrs. M reports that her husband’s
apparent lack of drive and self-respect
has caused her to lose respect for him. According to Mrs. M,
the marriage lacks physical attraction
and emotional intimacy. Her level of personal commitment to
her husband is very low, and the only
thing tying her to the relationship is her desire to “honor God”
by upholding her “marriage covenant.”

4. CURRENT AND RECENT SITUATION
As stated above, Mrs. M. currently lives with her spouse. She
also lives with her 2-year-old
Staffordshire terrier, Cooper, whom she calls her “sweet heart”
and “baby boy.” Mrs. M states that
she receives much needed love and affection from her dog.
On a typical day, Mrs. M starts work early at home. She
manages emails and she catches up on
6. paperwork from her job at counseling agency. About 2 hours
before she needs to report to the
agency, she begins “getting ready.” During that time, she
showers, gets dressed, listens to music,
and reads scripture. She usually arrives at her agency job
between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. depending
on her client schedule, and she usually remains there until
between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. On most
days, the people she interacts with most are: colleagues,
associate counselors whom she supervises,
and her site manager (with whom she “consults regularly”),
representatives from other
agencies/service providers, and her clients and their families.
On “less full” work days, Mrs. M
communicates more with friends and family. She reports that at
least twice a week, she goes out for
lunch, coffee, etc. with friends, and at least once a week she
goes out with a family member (mom,
dad or brother). Mrs. M’s husband does not like to do social
things and refuses most of her requests
to go out. Mrs. M reports that, at most, he will agree to go out
for a quick dinner, and then wants to
rush back home.
Over the past year, Mrs. M has experienced several significant
changes that may have contributed to
her current marital dissatisfaction. First, Mrs. M has been
promoted at her job from an intensive, in-
home counselor to an outpatient, on-site counselor. This
promotion has affected her marriage in
several ways. She wants to go on vacation to celebrate, but her
husband refuses, which frustrates
Mrs. M. An increase in workload has resulted in a decrease in
communication, and the remaining
communication “completely lacks intimacy” and is mostly about
7. the business end of marriage.
Second, Mrs. M and her husband have experienced the loss of
loved ones. Most of the loss has been
on Mr. M’s side of the family so it has affected him more than
Mrs. M. As a result of the loss, Mr. M
has become increasingly depressed (e.g., he sleeps all day, and
plays video games or watches TV at
night). Finally, Mrs. M just bought a house and moved. This
change contributes to the financial
stress on the marriage. Mrs. M says that she is resentful
because she carries all of the financial
“stress/burden” for the couple because Mr. M doesn’t work.
She has purchased everything for the
new house, and “supports all of his needs and wants.” She goes
on to say that he doesn’t even take
initiative to take care of the new house. In addition to working,
she takes care of almost all household
chores. Mrs. M has to ask her husband repeatedly to take care
of a chore (e.g., cutting the grass),
and he usually only will follow through when she “threatens” to
turn off the cable or internet. Since
buying the house, Mrs. M reports that being married is more
like “having a child than a husband.”
When asked how she has tried to handle the problem so far, she
said that she has separated from
him multiple times. Once, she even lived in her car for 2
months. During those times, she tried
talking to him about her dissatisfaction. He would promise to
change if she came back. Things would
change for a week or so, but then the situation would be “worse
than before—like a downward spiral.”
Mrs. M also has tried “threatening” with loss of privileges (e.g.,
cable, internet, car use), but that only
works for the immediate. She said she has tried “encouraging,
8. inspiring and uplifting,” but he did not
respond. She also reports trying prayer, but is discouraged
because she has seen no change.
When asked what strengths she has that have helped her to
manage this difficulty so far she listed
several. She said that she enjoys work, so she will go to work to
increase her happiness. She says
that she is patient because “3.5 years is a damn long time.” She
says that she tries to stay optimistic
and think positively, but she says she also needs to be realistic.
Mrs. M has several sources of support for her current problem.
She reports that most of the time
when she is feeling upset about her marriage, she goes off by
herself and “takes some time” to be
Comment [K5]: Optional section
CLINICAL REPORT 4
alone. She also relies on God for comfort through prayer and
worship. When she wants to “bitch and
complain” or when she feels like she is “about to explode,” she
talks to family and friends. So for her
day-to-day frustration and sadness, she turns to God, but when
things come to a head, she turns to
family and friends.
Since the problems with her marriage began, Mrs. M has
experienced changes in functioning.
Physically, she feels exhausted and has no energy.
Emotionally, she often retreats into herself, and if
9. she “hyper-focuses” on her marriage situation, then she will feel
depressed. Cognitively, she has a
difficult time concentrating. Behaviorally, she says that she has
to work extra hard to compensate for
her husband. Mrs. M added that she is “in a beautiful place
personally and professionally” so she
doesn’t feel depressed overall. She is simply unhappy about a
specific aspect of her life. So outside
of her marriage, everything appears to be going well for Mrs.
M.
5. PREVIOUS ASSESSMENTS AND COUNSELING
EXPERIENCES
Mrs. M reports that she received vocational testing and
educational testing while she was a junior in
college. Testing indicated that she has a “reading
comprehension disability” and that she was
“comprehending at a 7
th
grade level.” Mrs. M also reports having psychological testing
at that time to
assess for clinical syndromes like personality disorders, mood
disorders, and anxiety disorders. She
did not recall which specific tests were administered.
Mrs. M reports that she has been in counseling before. She
sought out counseling on her own
because she was distressed by how she felt and because she had
decided to pursue counseling as a
career, and “knew that [she] needed to make significant changes
in her life” in order to do so. She
started in counseling in 2006, and she currently is still in
counseling with the same therapist.
10. With her therapist, she has tried CBT techniques (e.g.,
relaxation, meditation), reality therapy,
art/music therapy, Sand Tray therapy, and behavior
modification techniques. In addition, she has
agreed to increases in level of care (i.e., in-patient treatment)
when needed. Regarding the outcomes
of these interventions, she believes that her mood and
functioning have improved significantly overall,
though she still feels that she has work to do.
Mrs. M has received several diagnoses in the past, including:
ADD, PTSD, MDD, GAD, and
Substance Use Disorder (alcohol, marijuana, nicotine and
caffeine). She also has been prescribed
,
Xanax, Ativan, Paxil and Zoloft. None
of these medications helped with her symptoms, and she
experienced severe side effects including
auditory hallucinations and suicidal ideations. In 2007, Mrs. M
made a suicide attempt (that resulted
in a coma) using a benzodiazepine that she had been prescribed.
She began by taking one pill to
control feelings of anxiety, but ended up taking the entire bottle
in order to “drown out the voices in her
head.”
6. BIRTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY
When Mrs. M was born, her mother was 23 years old and her
father was 27 years old. They were
married at the time, but divorced when Mrs. M was a child. The
pregnancy was not planned, as Mrs.
M’s mother actually had a tubal ligation after the birth of her
11. second child. The pregnancy went to
term and was uncomplicated. Mrs. M believes that her mom
received prenatal care, but she is not
sure. Before she knew she was pregnant, Mrs. M’s mother
smoked cigarettes and marijuana. When
she found out she was pregnant, she stopped smoking
marijuana, but continued smoking cigarettes.
At birth, Mrs. M was 6 lb. 12 oz. At birth, Mrs. M had both a
heart murmur and an atrial septal defect
(i.e., a hole in the part of the septum that separates the upper
chambers of the heart). Because of this
Comment [K6]: Optional section
Comment [K7]: Optional section
CLINICAL REPORT 5
heart defect, Mrs. M had emergency heart surgery immediately
after she was born. Mrs. M reports
that her delivery was “normal,” but she needed oxygen, had
difficulty breathing, and turned blue
because of her congenital heart defect.
Regarding childhood developmental issues, Mrs. M reported the
following: 1) overactive, 2) sleep
problems, 3) anxious/perfectionistic, 4) depressed, 5) shy, 6)
easily frustrated, 7) nightmares, 8) fears/
phobias, 9) poor appetite and 10) attention problems.
When asked if there was any other information about her
childhood that we did not cover and that she
would like to share, Mrs. M disclosed that she was both
physically and sexually abused by multiple
12. people when she was a child. When I asked if she would mind
sharing some details about her
experiences, she agreed. Mrs. M said that the sexual abuse
began when she was 4 years old by her
maternal grandfather. Next, she was abused when she was 5
years old by her maternal uncle who
came to stay with Mrs. M’s family for a short time. Also at age
5, a maternal cousin (though not the
child of the uncle previously mentioned) also sexually assaulted
her. The majority of the abuse was
perpetrated by her paternal grandmother who lived with the
family and by her brother. Her paternal
grandmother abused her from age 6-14. The abuse stopped
when her grandmother died. Her
brother, at the prompting of their paternal grandmother, abused
her from age 6-16. The abuse by her
brother stopped only when Mrs. M pulled a knife on him.
7. FAMILY OF ORIGIN/FAMILY CONSTELLATION
Mrs. M’s father is 59 years old. He has a high school
education. He has no known academic
problems and no diagnosed emotional problems. He does have
various medical problems, including:
a recent stroke, overweight, pre-diabetes, and high blood
pressure. Mrs. M reports having “a weird
relationship” with her dad because their “personalities are so
much alike.” She says that she even
looks like him. Mrs. M says that they get along fairly well
because they both are “passive.” He often
asks Mrs. M if he can borrow money, and she has always given
it to him in the past when he has
asked. Mrs. M stopped taking her father’s calls about two
weeks ago after she bailed him out of jail
for writing bad checks.
13. Mrs. M’s mother is 55 years old. She has an Associate’s
degree. She has no known academic
problems and no diagnosed emotional problems. She does have
various medical problems,
including: heart attack, congestive heart failure, high blood
pressure and emphysema (due to
smoking). Mrs. M says that she and her mother have very
different personalities. This difference
caused relationship problems when Mrs. M was an adolescent,
but now they are “quite close, and talk
about all kinds of stuff.” Mrs. M says that her mother is clingy
and dependent. Mrs. M gets annoyed
with her mother and they fight when Mrs. M’s mom “plays the
helpless victim role.” Her mom does not
ask directly for money. Instead, “she hints around,” and if “you
don’t give into her hint, then she gives
a guilt trip and plays mind games” which annoys and
exasperates Mrs. M.
Mrs. M had a sister, Ms. T, who died at age 5. Ms. T would be
36 right now if she were living. When I
asked if she would mind sharing details of her sister’s death,
Mrs. M explained that their father had
run Ms. T over with a truck while driving drunk. Mrs. M has no
memory of her sister as she was an
infant when Ms. T passed. Mrs. M says that her family never
talks about Ms. T, and that there aren’t
even any pictures of her at home or in albums. She says that
they “swept it under the rug like nothing
ever happened” which is “what [her] family does with
everything.” (By this, I suspect that she might
have been referring to the sexual abuse that she experienced.)
Mrs. M has a brother, Mr. C., who is 34 years old. This is the
brother who sexually abused Mrs. M at
the prompting of their paternal grandmother. Mr. C has a
14. Bachelor’s degree in accounting. He has
no known academic difficulties (except for trouble with
spelling), no medical problems, and no
Comment [K8]: Optional section
CLINICAL REPORT 6
diagnosed emotional problems. Mrs. M reports having a “good
relationship” with her brother despite
the years of abuse. They get together regularly for coffee or
lunch. When discussing her brother,
almost as a side note, Mrs. M laughingly told me that he is gay.
When asked if there were difficulties at home not yet
mentioned, Mrs. M explained that her parents
divorced when she was a child, and both remarried other people
when she was an adolescent. Mrs.
M’s mom “bailed out” on the family and left the state to go to
college. Care for Mrs. M shifted to her
dad and paternal grandmother (who abused her).
When asked what changes at home would have made life easier
for her she mentioned two things:
1) if her paternal grandmother never came to live with them and
2) if her parents/the family could have
communicated better. She further explained that her family is
“too secretive,” that nothing was ever
talked about until it hit a “boiling point” when “anger came out”
and “nothing was ever solved.”
8. EARLY RECOLLECTIONS
Early Memory #1: Mrs. M remembers being spanked by her
15. paternal grandmother and being placed
on the floor with a playpen over top of her so that she “could
not get out.” She remembers sitting
there crying and feeling angry because she “wasn’t sure what
she did wrong, but didn’t deserve what
happened.”
Early Memory #2: Mrs. M remembers going to church as a child
and “loving it.” She remembers
being really involved. She remembers the pastor and his wife
driving to pick her up and drop her
before and after church on Wednesdays and Sundays after her
parents “quit going.” She remembers
feeling happy and feeling good learning about God. She also
remembers feeling sad that “her
parents didn’t want to go with her.”
9. MARITAL AND FAMILY DATA
Mrs. M is has been married to Mr. M (31 years old) for 3.5
years. Mr. M has a high school diploma.
He had learning difficulties in school that were made worse by
the medication that he took to manage
his ADHD. Mr. M has asthma, and uses an albuterol inhaler.
Regarding emotional problems, Mr. M
was diagnosed with ADHD as an adolescent. Though he never
has been diagnosed by a clinician,
Mr. M has told Mrs. M that he feels depressed nearly all the
time.
10. MEDICAL HISTORY
Major Injuries, illnesses, and surgeries: Mrs. M was born with a
heart murmur and with an atrial septal
defect which required immediate, emergency surgery. In 2005,
Mrs. M had appendicitis/
16. appendectomy. In 2009, Mrs. M deliberately overdosed with
alcohol and 30, 0.5 mg Ativan tablets.
Her heart stopped and she had to be resuscitated multiple times
before she went into a coma. In
2011, Mrs. M had her tubes tied.
Medications: N/A
Regarding current/past medical history, Mrs. M reports the
following: 1) seasonal allergies, 2) extreme
fatigue much of the time, likely due to overworking, 3)
dizziness, 4) stomachaches, 5) tremors,
6) headaches, 7) sleep problems since adolescence (takes
melatonin as needed), 8) memory
problems that started after the coma in 2009, 9) kidney
problems occurred as a result of the coma,
she received dialysis twice, but hasn’t had problems since then,
10) history of bronchitis and
pneumonia, perhaps because of asthma, 11) congenital heart
problems, 12) ongoing attention

problems since childhood, 13) went into drug treatment rehab
after overdose/coma. Other conditions
include: carpal tunnel syndrome and ongoing heart issues.
Regarding family medical history, Mrs. M reports: Brother: had
17. repeated ear infections as child. Mom:
seasonal allergies, heart disease, sleep problems, migraines,
pneumonia, heart attack, tremors, and
high BP. Dad: seizures, heart attack, heart disease, neurological
issues, heart problems, high BP,
and attention problems.
11. EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Mrs. M’s educational history confirms my impression of her as
intelligent, articulate and professional.
She earned a B.S in Psychology and an M.A. in Community
Counseling. Then she earned an Ed.D.
(highest degree earned) in Counseling Psychology with a
concentration in Counselor Education and
Supervision.
Regarding her performance and preferences in school, Mrs. M.
says that reading, writing, and science
were the easiest subjects for her, as well as the ones she enjoyed
the most. The subject that was
most challenging for Mrs. M was math. Her greatest source of
pride throughout her schooling has
been her writing performance. Mrs. M says that she always has
had an “above average” attitude
toward school. Given the turmoil of her home life as a
child/adolescent, school was a place where
she could “feel free” and “do well.”
Mrs. M says that she was never retained in grade placement and
that she never received an IEP, BIP
or 504 accommodation plan. Although she was diagnosed with
a “reading comprehension disability”
as a junior in college, she chose not to receive any
accommodations.
18. 12. WORK BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Right out of her M.A. program, Mrs. M had a job as a middle
school guidance counselor, and then as
a high school guidance counselor. While she “loved” the
middle school age group and “liked” the high
school age group, she found that she wanted to do more
clinical/counseling work. So she left her
school job because she wanted to do more work directly in the
community and because she decided
to pursue licensure as a LPC (which she has completed at this
point).
Mrs. M also worked as an In-Home Intensive Therapist and
Team Lead. Mrs. M really enjoyed
working with the families and helping people change for the
better (especially children), but she “hated
driving around.” As a team lead, she has good working
relationships with the QP’s (qualified
professionals) on her team, but she was concerned about how
“dependent” they were on her and how
they seemed to lack “confidence to make decisions on their
own.” She was promoted from this
position to the clinical position that she currently holds.
Mrs. M currently works as an Outpatient Therapist/Assistant
Clinical Director, which she enjoys
immensely. The aspects of her work that Mrs. M enjoys best
are: 1) helping people and teaching
clients new skills, 2) teaching future counselors how to be
counselors, 3) feeling like she “is living [her]
purpose and doing what God called [her] to do.” The aspects of
her work that Mrs. M enjoys least
are: 1) paperwork, 2) meetings, and 3) “basically all
administrative tasks.”

13. RECREATION, INTERESTS, AND PLEASURES
Mrs. M enjoys a variety of recreational activities that appear to
tend to her body, mind/emotions and
spirit. She enjoys playing with and walking her dog, walking in
nature, and going to the beach. Mrs.
M also enjoys listening to encouraging messages by spiritual
leaders, reading the Bible, listening to
uplifting music, and praying/meditating. She also works out,
rides bikes, goes bowling, goes dancing,
and plays recreational sports (e.g., volleyball, basketball, and
kickball).
While Mrs. M has many areas of pleasure/interest, she doesn’t
get to engage in them as frequently as
she would like because of her “busy work schedule.” She does
try to make time for recreation at least
once or twice a week.
14. SOCIAL SUPPORTS, COMMUNICATION NETWORK,
AND SOCIAL INTERESTS
20. Mrs. M says that she has several excellent sources of social
support/social interest.
istance who [she] loves and
adores and speaks to quite frequently
by text, phone and email.” They can talk about anything and
everything—“good stuff, challenges,
problems, whatever.”
things.
She has lots of colleagues, professional supports, and
supervisors who are “able to help [her] with
cases, job responsibilities, licensure requirements etc.
increase her self-esteem and to
decide “what she wants and where she wants to go next” in life.
She also is using coaching
services in thinking about and planning for her own private
practice.
with whom she continues to work
“quite frequently.” Mrs. M appears to be basically satisfied
with the therapeutic relationship that
she has created with her counselor as well as with the progress
that she has made. I got the
sense that Mrs. M wasn’t completely satisfied with the services
she has received so far, but she
indicated that it would be “too difficult to start [the process]
again with someone else.”
15. SELF-DESCRIPTION
21. When asked about her strengths, Mrs. M listed the following: 1)
perseverance, 2) willingness to learn/
grow/change, 3) passion for her work and for serving other
people, 4) being a good person, 5) being
kind-hearted. When asked about her weaknesses, Mrs. M listed
the following: 1) low self-esteem,
2) sometimes letting her “fears get the best of [her],” 3) being a
“work-a-holic.”
Mrs. M then offered the following explanation for her tendency
to be work-a-holic—“Work is a way for
me to disconnect from the negative in my life and to connect
with something positive.” Because Mrs.
M enjoys her work and believes that she is good at what she
does, it appears that work may function
as a safe place amidst the chaos and sadness of her personal
life. She also said that because of her
health problems, she is afraid that she may not live long enough
to accomplish all the goals that she
has set her mind to.
Mrs. M provided the following self-description: “I am very
creative. I love music, art, dance, writing,
and just playing like a kid. I also use creative interventions in
my work with children, adolescents,
adults and families. I often visualize the beach or some kind of
nature/water to help reduce anxiety
and tension, or even to help me battle my depression from time
to time. I also try to visualize what
heaven might be like or what God might look like.”

16. CHOICES AND TURNING POINTS IN LIFE
In her senior year of high school, Mrs. M was robbed at
gunpoint while at work as a cashier. At that
point, she decided to go to college to “get out of that
environment.” This decision completely changed
the course of her life as she never even thought of going to
college before then. College was not
something that her family “modeled” or thought of as important.
In the first two years as an undergraduate student, Mrs. M failed
and re-took 14 classes. Because of
these failures, Mrs. M realized that she had a learning disability
which she began to work hard to
overcome. She also changed majors, which “changed the course
of [her] life,” and put her on a path
“more in-line with [her] purpose and calling.”
After earning her BS is psychology, Mrs. M decided to “go
lateral entry into teaching special
education. When she started teaching, she realized that she had
“a passion for teaching and helping
others.” The work was “new, and hard, and [she] felt like [she]
23. was totally out of [her] element.” She
never had taught a single class in her life when she “stepped in
front of a classroom full of 8
th
graders.” In her feelings of lack, she realized that “God could
use her to amazing things” even when
she “knew very little.” Mrs. M was very proud and excited to
earn the “Rookie of the Year” teaching
award her first year as a special education teacher.
While in graduate school, Mrs. M decided to enter therapy.
According to Mrs. M, therapy has had its
“ups and downs, and at first it was all downs/bad.” After years
of therapy and “a lot of hard work,”
Mrs. M says that she is “starting to see the fruits of all the
effort [she has] put in. Therapy has helped
her develop as a counselor.
After her suicide attempt/overdose/coma in 2009, Mrs. M
entered rehab where she was able to see
firsthand the consequences of a life of drug abuse. Both her
roommate and another young man died
right in front of her. At that point, she realized that she did not
want that outcome for her life. Being in
rehab gave her to opportunity to distance herself from the
negative influences and environments in
her life and to really focus on herself instead of “trying to take
care of the world.” Her experiences in
rehab helped her to realize that she “was worth so much more”
than she thought of herself and that
she wanted to live.
The choice to pursue a doctorate and to believe that she could
24. contribute to the world by teaching
future counselors has provided Mrs. M with a sense of both
personal and professional fulfillment.
Mrs. M says that she has overcome many obstacles to get to
where she is now—a counselor and an
assistant professor of counseling. She derives personal and
professional satisfaction from the fact
that she achieved her dream despite great adversity and that she
is meaningfully contributing to
society by teaching others to do the work about which she is so
passionate.
17. PERSONAL GOALS AND VIEW OF THE FUTURE
In the next year, Mrs. M would like to see the following
happen: 1) get the Distance Credentialed
Counselor (DCC) certificate through the National Board of
Certified Counselors (NBCC), 2) look for
new employment opportunities, 3) possibly take a new job offer,
4) possibly relocate to Portland, OR.
In the next 5 years, Mrs. M would like to: 1) Obtain her
Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) credential
through the NBCC and begin supervising provisionally licensed
counselors, 2) have her own private
practice, 3) teach graduate school full-time.
In the next 10 years, Mrs. M would like to: 1) be a published
author, 2) be teaching full-time, 3) have a
thriving private practice, 4) be a motivational speaker, and 5)
travel the world.

25. Comment [K18]: Optional section
CLINICAL REPORT 10
Mrs. M believes that she already is taking the steps that she
needs to in order to accomplish all of her
goals. She says that she just needs to continue to do more of
the same thing. Mrs. M also says that
she believes her marriage relationship in its current state is an
impediment to achieving all of her
dreams and goals. She believes that her husband’s “complete
lack of motivation” is holding her back
from achieving her own goals. She “fears” that severing the
relationship might be a necessary step
for her “to move forward with her life.”
18. INITIAL TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Additional psychological testing is recommended to
determine the continued presence and
severity of other symptoms/clinical syndromes not revealed by
the current case history and to
further elucidate Mrs. M’s presenting concerns.
2) Continued individual therapy on a once-weekly basis, with
either her current therapist or a new
therapist is recommended. Therapy should focus on Mrs. M’s
presenting concerns around her
relationship with her husband and on increasing Mrs. M’s
26. ability to manage her negative cognitive
and emotional responses to her marital situation.
3) Couples’ therapy may be warranted in the future, but Mrs.
M’s husband presently refuses to attend
counseling, and Mrs. M has little motivation to work on the
relationship.
4) Because Mrs. M’s spiritual beliefs play such a significant
role in her life, effort should be made to
incorporate these beliefs into treatment planning.

Clinical Intake Report Instructions
Regardless of its purpose, no psychological evaluation is
complete without historical or background information about an
examinee. Historical information about the examinee is
absolutely necessary to an evaluator when he/she interprets
results from psychological tests because similar patterns of test
scores could suggest different things about examinees with
different life experiences. Background information usually is
gathered in an interview, but a biographical information sheet
completed by the examinee also can be very useful. Typically,
information regarding the examinee's family and
social/relationship history, work experience, educational
history, and medical and legal problems is gathered.
Additionally, the evaluator is interested in an examinee's self-
perceptions, significant life experiences, goals/aspirations etc.
