Counseling Theory: The Clinical Theory Paper

This paper should be approximately 15 pages long, double-spaced, using one-inch margins and a 12-point font, and should include references in APA format, including a reference page. Make sure you include page numbers when referencing in the body of your paper. Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for information about correct format; (Note: the exception we request to APA styling is that block quotes should be single spaced.)
Explore and address the dynamics of the “This Is Where I Leave You” family film through the lens of each of the five primary theories:
• Bowenian Therapy (Judd’s sister Wendy)
• Structural Family Therapy (Older brother Paul)
• Solution Focused Brief Therapy (The youngest brother, Phillip)
• Narrative Therapy (Mother, Hillary)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) (Judd)

Choose two different factual programmes, one more formal, such as the news, the other less formal. Identify the common codes and conventions of the two chosen documentaries. Highlight how they use similar codes and conventions. Show how using these codes and conventions helps to inform and determine audience response. Also analyse if the two chosen documentaries use any of the codes and conventions of the Six Modes of Documentary (Bill Nichols), and if yes, show how and why they use it.

From The Passing of the Armies, interpret his perception of the Confederate Army. What is the opinion of Chamberlain as both a military officer and as a human being? What was his attitude toward the division between the North and the South? How would you characterize Chamberlain as a source of information on the Civil War?
Additionally, in The Red Badge of Courage, how does Henry (“the youth”) respond to his first experience of combat? How does this change when the Confederate Army launches their second attack against Henry’s position? What is the primary cause of this change in Henry? Is he a coward? Does Crane provide an insight into the mind of a combat soldier, or is the novel simply for entertainment?

In this milestone, you will work from the topic, applied setting, and research questions you identified in Module Two and start identifying relevant research to support your final proposal. Two major aspects of your final project include selecting foundational theories relevant to your topic and suggesting potential strategies or techniques that may alleviate a problem in an applied setting. To help you prepare for these aspects of the project, you will complete an annotated bibliography featuring a minimum of four research articles. Two of the articles that you find should be related to the theories you related to your topic that you intend to feature in your final proposal. The other two articles should discuss applied research related to your topic area.
For each article, include a summary that highlights how the article relates to your chosen topic and setting, and address the following questions:
How do the research results and statistical findings article relates to in the article apply to your research question and your applied setting?
What are the strengths and limitations of the research results and findings in supporting the research question?
How could you expand on available research to more specifically address your research question?

In the fact sheet, you will include:
• Overview of the language (e.g. history, context, varieties and dialects within the language)
• Linguistic structures (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics features)
• Implications for instruction (e.g. similarities and differences between the home language and English, common learner mistakes due to home language influence, instructional methods and strategies)
• Resources (e.g. resources for learners such as online dictionary, idiom comparison list; resources for teachers, and resources for home literacy)

Reading the case study and Analyze, Make RECOMMENDATIONS, and draw CONCLUSIONS for Case Study: Random House Shifting to e-books in a Globalized World.

Be careful, your recommendations and conclusions are the most important part in your paper! Please detail your recommendations and conclusions!

PS:(there have some questions in the end of the case study (page 9), answer these questions can help you easy go through your paper. And don’t forget use outside sources to proof your idea.)

How does the landscapes in the film portray Japan following WW2? Comment on the main themes of the film, as well as the images/characters through which Japanese and American people are represented, and how these ideas/narratives relate to the japan culture in history

Choose three peer-reviewed research papers to critique from the journal Social Work Research. They must all have different methodologies, preferably quantitative, qualitative and mixed method, participatory action or single subject design. So for example the first one could be quantitative, the second mixed method or single subject design and the final one qualitative. Write a 2-4 page paper for each, APA format that critically appraises the study. Use the critical appraisal checklists (discussed in class) and refer to material covered in the textbook as well as material covered in class to summarize the study, discuss strengths, weaknesses and limitations of design and methodology of the study.
Articles should be from the social work literature in the library databases. Students can use a critical appraisal of research as outlined in the Csiernik text, (p.217-221) as well as templates for critiquing specific kinds of research online to look at what is useful to include in the critique. Look at the detailed description above and on Blackboard for information about what you should cover in these papers. Remember we are critiquing design and methodology here, not theory or clinical approaches. Use of the textbooks and course material is required for successful completion of this and all assignments.

Select a child whose age is 0 to 12. Observe the child from 30-60 minutes. Interview the parents.

1. Identify and describe the developmental stage of the child. Describe the physical and biosocial development for that stage. Identify the family structure,socio-economic status and cultural factors. Use your observation and interview to support your discussion.
2. Use 2 different developmental theorists to explain the child’s development
(i.e Piaget, Freud, Erikson, Kohlberg, etc.). Describe each theorist and relate their findings to your selected child. Again, use you observations and interview to support your discussion.

Sunshine Health Corporation has acquired and merged with over 20 distressed or bargain companies in the past 15 years. As such they have collected several outdated systems that they can no longer use and have replaced with more efficient systems that streamline from the companies to Sunshine Headquarters.

Develop a document for assessing the decommissioned equipment from the different locations, collecting it and disposing of the equipment either in the form of revenue recovered or a benefit to the company.
