Psy 270 Week 9 Final Paper

Goals, what are goals? Goals, for some, are the driving force that help people get out of bed in the morning. For others, it’s the objective that keeps them focused on attaining something they may initially not have thought possible. For me, my goal to become a law enforcement officer, is what keeps me pushing forward. I push forward through the struggles, the obstacles that are in my way. Even now as I write this essay, I’m pushing myself to new limits and learning that I’m capable of doing more than I originally thought possible.

Group therapy is an integral part of psychology and like couple, family, or individual therapy there are many moving parts that allow the machine to work. Group therapy can be extremely helpful for many different populations of people like recovering alcoholics or veterans. Group therapy allows people to share their stories and engage with others who have similar experiences. When my grandmother died, I spent a lot time talking with my parents and other family members about her life and how she affected mine. Having the opportunity to share my grief with my family, allowed me to reflect on her life and move forward.

The study will have an experimental design involving groups of three people, two of which will be told beforehand about what the experiment will be about. Subjects will be analyzed in a classroom setting where familiar people will interact with them. This will help subjects feel more comfortable and allow us to observe whether or not they fall into peer pressure when under their element. The comparing value will be their age and grade. The dependent variable will be how well the subject can follow instructions. We will observe whether they do or do not do what the teacher instructs them, if they follow the other two students’ actions, or if they act in some different way. The purpose of the experiment is to study a person’s behavior under peer

An acronym for Bible is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The Bible is our manual for living and dealing with life on life’s terms. Because we are saved does not mean we will not face persecutions, adversity, hardships, or offenses. On the contrary, Jesus makes it clear that we are going to be persecuted, and told us in John 15:20b, “If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” Apostle James in his letter tells us to “count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations (James 1:2). It is in those tough times that our faith is tested and faith not tested is a faith that cannot be trusted. Daniel’s faith was tested, and he passed the test with flying colors.

This week we learned about how to keep respect for ourselves and for each other. We learned that chastity is respecting sex as a gift for your spouse. The speaker shared with us her own life story and we learned that she was a teen parent herself and that she had gone through some rough times. She shared with us that she was a teen mom and that before she engaged in sexual behavior, she was an honors student and she was focused on what was important but then after engaging in sexual behavior, she saw her grades drop drastically and she started to not care about the important things in life anymore. The speaker heard two messages and one even coming from her own mother saying, “when you’re ready to have sex let me know” and this made her think

I am not sure how I am going to use the feedback from week four, I honestly am nervous about my paper but I am taking everything I have learned and using it to work on my paper, I plan to make sure my paper is not straying off topic and is a great ideal paper. I am carefully using the checkers the school has to offer to make sure everything is at best standard.

Goals and achievements are concepts that push individuals to think more about what they want to do with their lives and the various possibilities the future could hold for them. Many of these individuals began thinking about these concepts in high school, including me. Thinking about all the choices I could major in, I chose nursing because of my desire to help others. Becoming a nurse is going to be a rewarding job choice that will come with many obstacles, but I will know when I have achieved my goals.

Famous American writer Marsha Sinetar once said “Life’s up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want.” Marsha, as well as many other people understand that throughout life, we are constantly going to be setting, striving for, and achieving goals everyday. They may be as simple as waking up on time, or as difficult as becoming the next president of the United States. While working towards any objective, you will receive help, hindrance, and develop different game plans for individual situations. A great example of goal persuitment is shown in Homer’s astonishing story: The Odyssey. This is a jaw-dropping tale of an ordinary soldier named Odysseus, who faces many challenges while attempting to reach his goal of returning home after victory in the Trojan war. In this story, war hero Odysseus wants to return home to Ithaca in order to be reconnected to, and live a happy life with his family. In relation, I would like to complete high school and later college to become a chiropractor in order to

An objection to group treatment is that it could inspire members’ conformity and dependency. Influenced by the pressure from the rest of the group one of the teens could change a healthy behavior or manful opinions due to real or imagined pressure from members, which becomes conformity. On the other hand, groups can foster dependent personality among members. The dependent personality is compliant, passive, suggestible, sensitive to what others want, yielding to other's opinions, needy to have others like us, and generally pleased to be taken care of. Members could become contingent with the therapist or other members interrupting his or her emotions, thus leaving them with little to none effort to do so independently. Another example of this

I think the most important thing to remember in life is that your friends and family are always going to be there for me. I believe that a good saying to describe me is, “What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies” - Aristotle. I feel like that saying wraps up my life. I am really close to all of my friends and we will all be friends for as long we live. I have been friends with a lot of people in my 12 years of life, and they all mean so much to me. I don’t know what I would do without my friends and family. I wouldn’t be half as good of a person as I am without their guidance and support.

There are several things that I could do to be able to identify and amplify solution patterns from the group member’s perspective. To begin, as the social worker I would need to make sure I am using language that will help to facilitate members in achieving their goals and seeing the change they desire (Greene & Lee, 2011). This means that I will have to adapt to the language of the group and introduce what is known as novelty into the session (Greene & Lee, 2011). This means that any suggestion, information, or ideas that I provide to the group in regards to different coping mechanisms will not be seen as factual information, but should be seen as just giving them something to think about (Greene & Lee, 2011). By doing this, it will allow the croup members to look at the possibilities of what is being said and they are then able to decide if it is something they would like to discuss or even consider.

At this point in the journey a new Term is introduced that of: ‘Sub Goal’. The concept of a Sub Goal is that

Social skills are defined as any skill facilitating interaction and communication with others. Social rules and relations are created, communicated and changed in verbal and nonverbal ways. This process of learning is called socialization. Students with special needs face many challenges in their lives some of which affects their ability to interact with others. The journal article, group counseling teaching for teaching social skills to students with special needs, explains the benefits of group counseling for both the students and the counselor. The article also explains strategies for dealing with children in a group setting. These techniques are some ways counselors teach the skills needed for social needs students to function in and out
