psychologist, is to help people with developmental disabilities. Such as sex offenders, drug abuse, bipolar, depression. I feel that I have a compassion and a journey to help this population of people becuse I have been in the health care profession for several years. I have seen the this poulation get pushed through the judicial system and put in jail, because of not proper couseling. Once in jail, they hardly receive proper counseling there too, and it is therefore no wonder that the rate of recidivism in America is increasing with a Bureau of Justice Statistics study, for instance, finding that 67.5% of prisoners released in 1994 were rearrested within 3 years (http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/reentry/recidivism.cfm)).
My desire, therefore, is to help the developmentally challenged before they actually become worse in their behavior, drop out, and end off in jail when it may be too late and far more challenging to help them…...

Q1) What are Some Prominent Ethical Issues to Consider in the Evaluation of this Individual?

Ethics require that only the skills that one is competent in should be provided by psychologists, without crossing over to areas in which they lack expertise. Thus, lacking the skills of a neuropsychologist, the psychologist cannot perform his role. Competence in this context requires that the psychologist be up-to-date on new information that comes up in his/her field and in the techniques that are applied in the practice. Binder and Thomson (1995) reiterate this, stating that through the acquisition of new information and skills, the expert is able to hone his/her skills and knowledge, remaining relevant to the practice.

When procedures are performed by those who are not skilled in them, misdiagnosis may result. As Nagy (2011) puts it, passing over duties, such as administering tests and designating scores to the untrained, unqualified and…...

Testing
Interview validity can be compromised by ignorance of potential ethnic, cultural, or class-based factors. For example, the interviewer may become blinded by self-fulfilling prophesies, and the interview questions themselves may be biased toward certain ethnic, cultural, or socio-economic groups. For example, if an interviewer holds deeply-rooted prejudice against African-Americans, he or she may prejudge the respondent's answers or filter the answers through a biased perspective. Furthermore, questions that are posed to the subject may not take into account the unique experiences and worldviews of the interview subject. For instance, some interview questions pose moral or ethical dilemmas that different cultural groups handle differently. Similarly, some interview questions assume that the respondent comes from a highly educated white upper-class background. Furthermore, interview techniques themselves: body language; role playing; and the overall attitude of the interviewer may be culturally, ethnically, or class-biased. Some respondents perform better when the interviewer takes on…...

Psychologists
Conventional wisdom holds that a hostage negotiation team should include a police psychologist but that the psychologist should not actually be the team member who conducts negotiations with the alleged hostage-taker. Two articles take opposing sides on this issue. Hatcher et al. (1998) upholds this conventional wisdom, and argues for the value of a psychologist on the negotiation team, provided the psychologist does not serve as the one who conducts the negotiation. Ebert (1986) takes the opposing view, and argues against the conventional wisdom that the psychologist should not conduct the negotations. On consideration of the arguments presented, it is fairly easy to see why the conventional wisdom was established, and to see that Ebert's case for an expanded role is relatively specious.

Ebert claims that "most arguments against using psychologists as negotiators appear absurd when the characteristics of good negotiators as outlined by experts are examined" claiming that "the desirable…...

Psychologists and Jury Selection
Jury selection is basically a process that involves three stages which include voir dire, developing a list of eligible citizens and choosing those to call in a specific case. Voir dire is an Anglo-Norman phrase that means to speak the truth and is used for prospective jurors who are assessed under oath. In most cases, jury selection starts with venire i.e. The selection of a panel of prospective jurors. Once the panel of potential jurors is chosen from eligible citizens or other sources based on whether it's a federal or state court, another panel of 6-12 jurors is chosen for a particular case. This second selection process is basically conducted for the purpose of choosing a balanced and representative panel. During this process of examination by the judge and attorneys, the partial or prejudiced jurors are eliminated (Flowe, n.d.).

In addition to eliminating jurors related to the case,…...

Specifically, she saw neurosis as an attempt to make life bearable, as a way of "interpersonal control and coping." It might be argued that this is what we all try to do on a continuous basis, though only some of us are successful, whereas the neurotic are not." (Quinn, 2005)

Adults who eat the daily recommended allowance of folates-B-vitamin nutrients found in oranges, legumes, leafy green vegetables and folic acid supplements significantly reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to results from a long-term study of diet and brain aging (SUPPOTED HYPOTHESIS EPOTED FINDINGS).

The study also found that folates appear to have more impact on reducing Alzheimer's risk than vitamin E, a noted antioxidant, and other nutrients considered for their effect as a brain-aging deterrent (SUPPOTED HYPOTHESIS EPOTED FINDINGS).

oles of a Police Psychologist in an Investigation
The following paper describes the roles played by a police psychologist in an investigation of a situation in which a former police officer has been killed. The police force constantly takes risks to save the lives and belongings of the people they serve. This force is known for its bravery and courage but when a situation involves the homicide of a former member of their own group, they are faced with extra trouble as their own safety becomes a concern for them. In addition to that, the pressure from media exacerbates the problem for the police force. In this case, the police force needs psychological support which is given to them by a police psychologist.

In Poland, a ritual exists by which a znajomy becomes a kolega: When the two parties-- regardless of gender -- give mutual permission to allow each other to drop the "Mr." And "Miss" and call each other by their first names. A celebration involving drinking frequently follows, frequently with the two drinking shots of alcohol with arms linked. The English terms closest to kolega are "buddy," "pal," and "companion."
The authors (McAndrew & ybak, 2006) hypothocized that since the Poles had more formalized and precise friendship words, they would differentiate more readily and consistently between different types of friends than Americans. They also looked at sex differences in judgments made about friendship, expecting that women in both America and Poland would probably make more discriminating judgments about relationships than would men.

Russian psychologist ygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, with Input and Interaction Theory. Beginning with a definition of both theories the paper will then note how the two theories differ and where they are similar in their approach as well as how they are applied to everyday issues such as teaching language.
Sociocultural Theory

Sociocultural theory was first conceived and developed by Russian psychologist Lev Semyonovich ygotsky's, (1896-1934). His most productive years were at the Institute of Psychology in Moscow (1924-34), where he expanded his ideas on cognitive development, particularly the relationship between language and thinking. His writings emphasized the roles of historical, cultural, and social factors in cognition and argued that language was the most important symbolic tool provided by society. His book, "Thought and Language" is a classic text in psycholinguistics' theoretical contributions to the development of curricula and teaching strategies. (Forman, Minick, Stone 1993)

Vygotsky was interested in applying Marxist social theory to individual psychology. The approach he took to cognitive development is sociocultural, working on the assumption that 'action is mediated and cannot be separated from the milieu in which it is carried out' (Wertsch, 1991) He devised the sociocultural theory that subsequently influenced the development of the constructivist movement. (Jaramillo, 1996) Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of learning contends that intelligence in humans has its origins from within our society of culture. Individual cognitive advancement thus occurs first as interaction with one's social environment followed by interaction within oneself, e.g. internalization. (Brown, 1996) These two phases observed in classroom settings shows that the first phase of the cognitive process for students is when students encourage, support and guide each other while learning. This is followed by students forming their own conclusions based on the evidence they have observed and then resolve conflict by articulating their arguments. (Wertsch).

An important concept in Vygotsky's theory is that the potential for cognitive development is limited to a certain time span which he calls the 'zone of proximal development (Kearsley 1994). The zone of proximal development is defined as having four learning stages. These stages range from the lower limit of what the student knows and the upper limits of what the student has the potential of accomplishing. This seems to be very roughly analogous to concepts of intelligent quotients and testing in modern education.

Vygotsky's zone of proximal development is the zone in which students can solve problems collaboratively and learn from one another. Or stated a different way, students may be able to complete some tasks independently; never the less, in order for them to increase their level of potential development, students need to work with others. This collaborative zone stems from the idea that learning is social and happens when speech and activity come together. Knowledge does not originate from within us, according to Vygotsky, but instead we learn from our environment: when a student learns arithmetic or writing, he or she is internalizing external knowledge (Brown).

Demise of Guys
Psychologist Philip Zimbardo shares some startling statistics about boys: they are 30% more likely than girls to drop out of school, they are outperformed academically by girls at every level from kindergarten to graduate school, they are less likely to earn a B.A., and more likely to be in Special Education or labeled as having Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). By the time he is twenty-one years of age, the average boy has spent 10,000 hours playing video games. Boys' brains, claims Zimbardo, have been digitally rewired so they are more engaged in the "asynchronous Internet world" than in classrooms and social relationships.

As Zimbardo stated at the end of his talk, it is not his job to provide solutions, only to sound the alarm. He paints the Millenial generation with too broad a brush. There are certainly boys who are scholars, athletes, musicians and thoughtful human beings who…...

The process of obtaining licensure as a Mental Health Counselor begins with attending and graduating from an approved NY State Education Department (SED) Master's Program. Having stated that, I am a step in the right direction by attending LIU's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at the moment. While that is the case, my plan is to further my education by obtaining a Psyd immediately after graduation and then get licensed as a psychologist. I do not believe it makes sense to do the 3,000 hours of supervision and take the NCMHCE and then take the EPPP exam and do another 3,500 hours. To graduate from the MHC program, you need a total of 60 credit hours, which also includes 100 hours of practicum and 600 hours of internship.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a serious disorder that affects children, their families, teachers, and society in general. However, there are empirically -- validated interventions that can help these children. This paper outlines the vision and goals of a graduate student in psychology in the context of preparing to become a certified ADHD parent Coach/Consultant in order to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families.

There are many opportunities for those practicing in the field of psychology today. However, an undergraduate degree in psychology does not adequately prepare a person to practice in the field and a graduate degree is needed. While achieving an undergraduate degree in psychology requires a study of many different subspecialties in psychology, the attainment of a graduate degree is typically more specialized and career -- oriented.
