My teaching practice helps meet this statement on having a positive, responsive, cooperative relationship with each child’s family by knowing each family members and greeting them by name. I am able to invite families to take part in program activities. I am able to help families understand the importance of play for children. I am also able to empathize with families around stressful areas of parenting, such as lack of sleep, illness, challenging behaviors and I am able to provide support and suggestions when needed or asked.…
Generalized seizures are more dramatic and are the most common type of seizures today. The “grand-mal” seizure is the most common type of generalized seizure that many people have. The patient can have many symptoms but the most common symptoms would be he/she loses consciousness and from there they collapse. The body will start to stiffen which this phase is called the “tonic” phase and lasts up to 30-60 seconds, following that the person will start to jerk which is another 30-60…
In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans were taken hostage. However, six managed to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA was eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devised a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez created the ruse and proceed to Iran as its associate producer. However, time was running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House had grave doubts about the operation themselves.

In The Family Crucible, a unique way of looking at family therapy is used. This approach probably would not be something that would be done by therapist now. The more that we study systemic approaches the less I believe that there are any individual problems. With that being said there is a long reach that effects of parenting has on a child.…
This also puts emphasis on planning, the child only spends one day a week at the setting and if the setting had planned properly in advance they could have sent the child's key worker on a home visit. This would have allowed the key worker to begin forming a relationship with both the child and parent. This would also provide the practitioner with an insight into the child's family life. If the planning had been more in depth for this particular child then they would have found that the child was from a single parent family. This may insinuate that they would experience a lot of separation anxiety when leaving their main care giver. Sigmund Freud, a neurologist who focused on the human mind and personalities, introduced the idea of transitional objects. Freud's theory supports 'play as therapy', where children use one thing to represent another. Children can use play to work through their emotions and feelings, this can be done through toys that they bring in from home (Baker et al, 2013, P328). Children attach themselves to specific objects that they are familiar with and objects that make them feel comfortable. These objects are often blankets, dummies or soft toys which the child has at home that is used to comfort them in times of upset. Allowing the child to bring these objects into…
The children of multigenerational abuse are also good at dissociation. The Illuminati families and European occultists went to India, and Tibet to study occultism and eastern philosophy. These Europeans learned yoga, tantric yoga, meditations, and trances and other methods to disassociate. These skills are passed on to their children via genetics. A test is run when the children are about 18 months old to determine if they can dissociate enough to be selected for programming or not.…

Children are often faced with many challenges when growing up in a dysfunctional household. Physical and emotional abuse, poverty, and neglect are major factors that impact a child’s life and development. Children in these types of environments frequently struggle to manage the challenges of everyday life. They sometimes perceive their lives as doomed, with no possibility of change. In some cases, they believe that this lack of a supportive family and the everyday challenges as normal. In most cases, they harbor feelings of fear, guilt and shame. More times than not, their perception of family and relationships are skewed. When these children are faced with challenges, it tests their ability to maintain normalcy or what they perceive as normal.…
The collision of cultures is seen through out the story of Lia and her family. Starting in the beginning of Lia’s story the same piece of information was being interpreted by two different cultures in different ways. The Merced Hospital Staff believed Lia suffered from Epilepsy. They believed it translated into Qaug dab peg. What was misunderstood is that quag dab peg were not really perceived as the same thing in Hmong culture as Epilepsy is in western medicine,…

I have always been fascinated with human behavior. Somehow I instinctively knew that our behaviors are affected by many environmental factors. Thus, as a child, I found myself always attempting to psychoanalyze the behaviors of my friends, family, and television characters. In 2005, I enrolled in LeMoyne Owen College. Since LeMoyne does not offer a major in psychology, I elected sociology as my major. Although I loved studying the theories associated with Sociology; I wanted to pursue my studies in Psychology. As a result, I transferred to the University of Memphis in 2007. I hold a B.A. in Psychology and look forward to earning a Master Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I feel strongly that this is the path that God has put in place for me to take. I look forward to advancing my knowledge in psychology concepts such as brain function, cognition, attention, personality, behavior and many other methods, and researches tools that will better enable me to understand individuals and groups and assist them with their problems in order to help them become productive members of society. I worked for the Regional Intervention Program (RIP) as a classroom coordinator. The Regional Intervention Program has been serving families with young children since 1969. RIP is an internationally recognized parent implemented program in which parents learn to work directly with their own children. Experienced RIP parents provide training and support to newly enrolled families. The program is available to families in which there are concerns regarding a young child's behavior, and is coordinated by a professional resource staff person. This position provided me with an extraordinary view of maladies of childhood behaviors. Regional Intervention Program used the methods of Applied Behavioral Analysis; through this program I have witnessed countless behavioral problems change. Being able to work with children who have behavioral problems and seeing a…
