Case Study
Becoming a forensic psychologist after graduating from Ashford with a psychology degree will be an exciting part of my life. Graduating from the psychology program at Ashford means I have the skills necessary to move forward in my career goals. I am now able to read and think critically and creatively, communicate effectively through my speech, writings, and through the use of technology. I now understand the various forms of diversity, the interdependence among living beings, and the environment and humanly-created systems. I am able to direct service of meeting the needs of others, develop the skills and abilities that provide for lifelong learning, as well as I now have the ability to draw information from different fields of study to make informed decisions (Ashford University, 2014). Having a psychology degree means I can analyze human behavior and their mental processes, as well as analyze theories of continuing education in psychology and related fields. I can evaluate theories of personality development and psychology research methods. I can now demonstrate communication behaviors that are consistent with the study and practice of psychology, as well as have and use skills and concepts that are fundamental to the ethical application of psychology (Ashford University, 2014).

The options I see it as they can either try to sit down with an unbiased person to help them communicate effectively or they can end their relationship. The risks and consequences are that they may end up expressing feelings that are not ready to be dealt with, or they could end up with a really strong relationship. The other risk and consequence could be that they end up in a huge fight and the relationship is over. The only evidence I have to assist me is what they both tell me about the situation and what I have personally seen.
With this case I would be able to think critically and creatively, I can analyze their behavior and their mental processing, as well as demonstrate communication behaviors. I will look at how they are trying to communicate now and think of other ways they can try to communicate such as text or email. Maybe even writing each other letters. I will analyze their behaviors as to how they perceive the other person and the way the other person comes across while speaking. Through better communication skills the couple will be able to better discuss their i ...
