Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in the field of psychology. Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a psychology professional. Use APA format and style Most sexual behavior problems must be delineated within the context of the individual's personality, lifestyle, and relationships with others. It is usually simplistic to label any particular behavior automatically as a problem. Several criteria are given that can be used to define sexual problems and that can help put problematic sex into a more realistic and sensible perspective. Determining when a sexual preference behavior becomes a problem is highly subjective and requires a look into different aspects of an individual's life, including his or her lifestyle and cultural and social belief systems. Sexual abuse, coercion, and assault of others represent serious sexual problems (Kelly, 2015). Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and a variety of other medical conditions can affect the sex organs and sexual activity. Whereas STDs once were discussed only briefly in most human sexuality courses, they are emerging as important issues again. Considering that the incidence of several diseases is on the rise, and that more organisms are being recognized as being capable of sexual transmission, such a trend may be timely. One of the most significant findings of the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) was the direct correlation between the numbers of sexual partners people have had and the likelihood that they will have had a STD (National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, 1992). Defining sexual dysfunctions is somewhat subjective, and individual differences in the sexual response cycle are often perfectly normal. Rather than simply labeling each dysfunction and explaining it separately, we must examine it based on the broader picture of sexual responsiveness and the total sexual relationship. In recent years, there has been greater emphasis on potential organic conditions that can manifest themselves in sexual difficulties, including the effects of alcohol, other drugs, and certain medication ...

Discussion 1: Alternative Model of Personality Disorders The DSM-5 contributors did not make any changes to the DSM-IV criteria for the personality disorders (pp. 645-684). However, the contributors added an entirely new, alternative model for personality disorders (pp. 761-781) that the APA plans to transition towards. For this Discussion , read the case study “ Working with Clients with Dual Diagnosis (attached): The Case of Cathy ” and review Cathy’s DSM-IV diagnosis. Post an update of Cathy’s diagnosis into DSM-5 and ICD-10-CM. Then analyze how the addition of the alternative model for personality disorders affects Cathy’s DSM-5 diagnosis.

Gender and Sexuality Sexuality is a powerful socio-political tool and weapon. Discuss how sexual norms and sexual identities intersect with politics and the law, economics and the marketplace and social wellness and disease. Choose one of the following options for your assignment this week: Option A: Gender Crimes Criminal acts occur against individuals because of gender – some of these are labeled as hate crimes in the U.S. (consider cases of violence against transgendered and homosexual individuals) and others occur across cultures. Choose two other types of “gender crimes” and discuss what these acts reveal about deep-seated cultural values and beliefs. One possibility is to examine bride burning or dowry death in India. Submit a paper ( 750-1250 words) that explores gender crimes. Provide at least three references cited within the text and listed in the references section. Option B: Gender Interviews Interview six people of various ages and ask them what various gender terms mean (transsexual, intersex, transgender, etc.). Also ask them what experience they have in this knowledge – do they know someone who uses a non-binary gender designation or are they basing this information on another source? There is a gap between scholarly understandings and pop culture. Summarize your findings into a report. Submit a copy of the interview questions and your notes of the interviews, along with your written interpretation of the data ( 750-1250 words). Option C: Sexual Terminology Create a survey of sexual identities. Prepare at least ten questions of various types that elicit the understanding that people have of terms such as bisexual, gay, lesbian, homosexual, queer, and LGBT. Then, conduct the survey with at least ten respondents. What patterns can you find? What terms are most and least agreed upon? Submit a copy of your questionnaire along with the responses from your subjects. Include your written interpretation of the data ( 750-1250 words). .

Law enforcement and corrections professionals need to have a working knowledge of both criminal law and the civil law process to ensure they are performing their duties within the limits of the law. Civil Liability in Criminal Justice, 7th Edition, provides valuable information and recommendations to current and future officers and correctional system employees, introducing them to civil liability and federal law, as well as recommending strategies that can be taken to minimize risks. Civil Liability in Criminal Justice is unique in its combination of applicable case law and related liability research, while still providing an overview of current case law in high- liability areas. This new edition, a valuable resource for enhancing student knowledge and practitioner job performance, is revised to include up- to- date United States Supreme Court cases; liability trends on the use of force, arrest- related deaths, custodial suicides in detention, and qualified immunity; outcomes of the Department of Justice’s application of Section 14141; additional context for liability issues; and extended coverage of collective bargaining and public perception. The text is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in Criminal Justice programs as well as for in- service and academy training. Ross offers an engaging, accessible introduction to this aspect of the U.S. criminal justice system. Darrell L. Ross, Ph.D., is Professor and Depart ...

Running head: ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 1 PROMPTS: THE SOCIAL SCIENCES American prisons have a disparate number of minority inmates in their populations. Is this trend due to a higher rate of minority crimes or the manner in which the judicial system operates? Research the possible answers, and defend a single cause of this disparity. Many people have questioned the fairness of the United States’ criminal justice system. This is because of the high number of black inmates in the United States’ prisons despite the fact that they are the minority group. This scenario has led to many scholars and observers questioning the handling of cases regarding blacks. Some argue that the whites should be the majority in these prisons since they are also the majority group. The following annotated bibliographies are going to look into this issue in order to find out what is the cause of this situation. Boothe, D. (2007). Why are so many black men in prison? United States: Full Surface. According to Boothe, war on drugs is believed to be the major factors in leading to the increased number of blacks in the United States’ prisons. This is because of the high chances of a person convicted for handling drugs ending up in prison, especially blacks. This is because of the notion that blacks were the perpetrators of these activities in the United States. This is an important source as it outlines the inequality in the way drug cases involving blacks and whites are handled. For instance, many whites involved in drug cases for the first time are usually put on probation. This is unlike the blacks who are given sentences directly as they are viewed to be harmful to the society. Clear, T. R. (2012). American corrections in brief. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Cengage Learning. According to Clear, the United States’ prisons are operated at the federal and state level. These levels depend on the nature of crimes that the convicts did. Those that did serious crimes such as murder are usually held in maximum-security prisons while those that committed less serious crimes are held in minimum-security prisons. However, in both prisons, majority of the prisoners are blacks. The high number of black inmates in these prisons is an indicator that there is something wrong with the United States’ criminal justice systems. This makes this book an important source of information on my topic. I therefore plan to use to derive important information on the disparities being experienced in American courts. Flowers, R. B. (1990). Minorities and criminality. New York: Praeger. In this book, Flowers talks about representation of various groups living in the United States in juvenile prisons. According to Flowers, majority of juvenile inmates come from poor backgrounds, which are mainly blacks. The author says that the whites are the least represented in these prisons despite the fact that they are the majority in terms of the general population. This book is very important in doing my ...

Accessible player --Downloads--Download Video w/CCDownload AudioDownload Transcript Discussion: Sociological Theories The sociological approach examines underlying social conditions that may influence criminal behavior by focusing on how social structure and processes contribute to crime. Two of the basic sociological theories are consensus theory and life course criminology. Consensus theory asserts that criminal laws and their enforcement reflect the values and concerns of the majority of people in a society. Life course criminology focuses on life trajectories or paths that may lead to lifelong or repeat criminal behavior. There are many other theories associated with the sociological approach to understanding and explaining criminal behavior; however, some theories might be more applicable than others. By Day 3 Post an analysis of the strengths and limitations of at least two sociological theories as an explanation for criminal behavior. Then, briefly describe the sociological theory that you think best explains criminal behavior and explain why, using specific examples from the resources or the literature in your research. Note: Put the sociological theory you described in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who described a different theory than you did.

Due Wednesday March 18 by 5pm Central Standard Time As you bring your own lens—that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations—into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization’s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization’s policies and procedures. Understanding cultural lenses—your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact—will enable you to better serve your clients.

Reading Response By R.C. Lewontin, Confusions about Human Races,Published, Jun 07, 2006, http://raceandgenomics.ssrc.org/Lewontin/ The author used the prose form of writing, in which the article has paragraphs only, but no sections. While there is a flow of ideas, this essay is not easy to read because of the extensive writing, which makes the reader feel overloaded with information. In addition to that, the document does not have any chronology of events, and the author does not state how he intends to write his ideas. The central claim of this article is the fact that many people confuse human races. He holds that “race” is a biological aspect of variations in the human species, but the world takes it for a social construct of classifying people. Lewontin holds that “As a biological construct rather than a social one, people cease to see “race” as a significant reality that characterizes the species of humans.” Keywords – race, genetics, human, biological, and variations New Vocabulary: Australian Aborigines, Negritos, Inuit, Tay-Sachs disease, Ashkenazi Jew. Summary: Lewontin’s Confusions about Human Races is a reminder to the people about the concept of human race. Widely touted as a social construct, “race” is a biological concept that outlines the realities that characterize the human species. Lewontin argues that researchers and scholars produce many objective natural divisions confirming that racial categories are representations of genetic differences and not social or historical factors. He uses Leroi Armand Marie’s essay in the Op-Ed section of The New York Times - March 14, 2005, as evidence for his argument. Lewontin adds that Leroi’s work points out the confusion about the factors of racial categorization as well as the recent erroneous deductions about the relevance of such identifications of the race for medical practice. The author holds the four facts about the variation of humans upon which the world seems to agree are the ultimate evidence for the understanding of race as a biological concept. First, the species of human have immense variations of genetics from one individual to another. Second, the largest chunk of human variation (nearly 85 percent) is a representation of people within local linguistic or national populations. Examples include the French, Mexican, and Japanese. Third, some genetic traits such as skin color, the form of hair, shape of the nose, and some blood proteins like the Rhesus, vary together such that people with dark skin color are also likely to have dark, curled hair, broad noses, and a high likelihood of Rh blood type. Fourth, the genetic differences break down due to rampant migration and intergroup mating; although, it existed in the past, it is now widespread at a high rate. Questions: Despite being informative, this article poses a few questions in a reader’s mind. What is the solution to the confusion about race? Does it mean that race is only biological and has no relationship to the s ...

A Broader Understanding of Cultural Competence Resources Discussion Participation Scoring Guide . To understand the broader context of cultural competence in health care, there are a variety of stakeholders involved in the delivery and support of health care services whose perspectives must be considered. According to Pérez and Luquis (2008, p. 46), cultural competence was defined by the 2000 Joint Committee on Health Education and Promotion Terminology of AAHE as "the ability of an individual to understand and respect values, attitudes, beliefs, and mores that differ across cultures, and to consider and respond to appropriately to these differences in planning, implementing, and evaluating health education and promotion programs and interventions." Considering this broad, interrelated complexity, reflect on the importance of cultural competence for health care organizations, and for the health and wellness of diverse groups. In your initial post for this discussion, address the following scenario: Your department manager has asked you to "read up on cultural competency." After visiting several Web sites and reading course materials, how might you define and explain to your manager the broader context for cultural competency? Consider cultural systems of belief, values, and attitudes toward health and wellness, as an example. Address health beliefs, practices, and behaviors. Reference Pérez, M. A., Luquis, R. R. (2008). Cultural competence in health education and health promotion . San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass. Response Guidelines Read the posts of all of your peers, and respond to two. In each case, provide your perspective as follows: Comment on the extent to which your peer's post has addressed the broader context for cultural competence. Explain why you agree or disagree your peer's definition. .

nstructions: No discussion of psychosocial development in middle childhood would be complete without a significant focus on friendship. This is a time when peers become extremely important to children’s sense of self and how they interact with other people. As children develop, friends affect their development in virtually every domain. Friends spend a great deal of time together, and thus are a key source of emotional support. They also provide opportunities to practice communication, and encounter perspectives on the world and their experiences that may be different from those at home. Taking into account your own psychosocial development, discuss your own friendships during your middle childhood years: What are ways in which your friendship helped or hindered your own psychosocial development? You might choose to focus on one/more of the following themes as covered in the Berger text: self-concept, self-esteem resilience and stress, or development of moral reasoning.

Now that we know the stages of critical thinking and have a better understanding of how to improve, we need to think about how we will measure our progress. What types of standards will we need to hold our thinking to in order to ensure we are thinking critically? What types of questions can we ask ourselves to double check our thinking? Paul & Elder (2012) give us the basic, universal standards and as a reminder, I have them listed here: · Clarity · accuracy · precision · relevance · depth · breadth · logic · significance · Fairness Which are the ones that you think you currently struggle in terms of meeting in your thinking (in other words, what would be your areas of opportunity)? Why did you choose what you did and how can you go about beginning to fix it? References: Paul, R., & Elder, L. (2012). Critical thinking: Tools for taking charge of your learning and your life (3rd ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson. Last week, we looked at the influence that outside sources like family, friends, and the media have on our ability to think critically. We've also spent the last week reviewing how we should evaluate our evidence sources to ensure they are reliable and credible. This week, we will look specifically at the media and how what they deliver may not be as objective and bias free as you would hope. Paul & Elder (2012) give us a list of myths that you may or may not believe about various forms of media. Those myths include: · that most news stories are produced through independent investigative journalism · that news writers simply report facts in their stories and do not come to conclusions about them · that fact and opinion are clearly separated in constructing the news · that there is an objective reality (the actual "news") that is simply "reported" or described by the news media of the world (our news media writers reporting on this objectively; the media of foreign enemies systematically slanting and distorting it) · that what is unusual (novel, odd, bizarre) is news; what is usual is not (Paul & Elder, 2012) Class, do you agree with these myths? Why or why not? Are there any that surprise you? Why? References: Paul, R., & Elder, L. (2012). Critical thinking: Tools for taking charge of your learning and your life (3rd ed.).

November-December 2013 • Vol. 22/No. 6 359 Beverly Waller Dabney, PhD, RN, is Associate Professor, Southwestern Adventist University, Keene, TX. Huey-Ming Tzeng, PhD, RN, FAAN, is Professor of Nursing and Associate Dean for Academic Programs, College of Nursing, Washington State University, Spokane, WA. Service Quality and Patient-Centered Care L eaders of the U.S. Depart - ment of Health & Human Services (2011) urge providers to improve the overall quality of health care by making it more patient centered. Patient-centered care (or person-centered care) refers to the therapeutic relationship between health care providers and recipients of health care services, with emphasis on meeting the needs of individual patients. Al - though the term has been used widely in recent years, it remains a poorly defined and conceptualized phenomenon (Hobbs, 2009). Patient-centered care is believed to be holistic nursing care. It provides a mechanism for nurses to engage patients as active participants in every aspect of their health (Scott, 2010). Patient shadowing and care flow mapping were used to create a sense of empathy and urgency among clinicians by clarify- ing the patient and family experience. These two approaches, which were meant to promote patient-centered care, can improve patient satisfaction scores without increasing costs (DiGioia, Lorenz, Greenhouse, Bertoty, & Rocks, 2010). A better under standing of attributes of patient-centered care and areas for improvement is needed in order to develop nursing policies that in - crease the use of this model in health care settings. The purpose of this discussion is to clarify the concept of patient-centered care for consistency with the common understanding about pa - tient satisfaction and the quality of care delivered from nurses to patients. Attributes from a customer service model, the Gap Model of Service Quality, are used in a focus on the perspective of the patient as the driver and evaluator of service quality. Relevant literature and the Gap Model of Service Quality (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Leonard, 1985) are reviewed. Four gaps in patient-centered care are identified, with discussion of nursing implica- tions. Background and Brief Literature Review Patient-Centered Care The Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2001a) and Epstein and Street (2011) identified patient-centeredness as one of the areas for improvement in health care quality. The IOM (2001b) defined patient-centeredness as …health care that establishes a partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families (when appropriate) to ensure that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences and that patients have the education and support they require to make decisions and partici- pate in their own care… (p. 7) Charmel and Frampton (2008) defined patient-centered care as …a healthcare setting in which patients are encouraged to be actively involved in their care, with a physical environment t ...
