This paper provides the opportunity to apply the theories and interventions learned throughout the semester to an individual from your CURRENT field placement or to one of the cases provided for you. If you have never utilized interpersonal, psychodynamic, and/or cognitive behavioral approaches in your work, then act as if you did. By this I mean: analyze the client through the lenses of interpersonal, psychodynamic, and cognitive theories and then apply the interventions stemming from these theories. It is expected that the paper include references from this course (i.e., texts, required readings), and a minimum of FIVE empirical and theoretical scholarly articles that are not on the syllabus. At least FOUR of your outside sources should come from scholarly journals, not books or websites. The DSM does not count as one of your scholarly sources . The paper should be 11 to 12 pages (not including title page or references) typed in 12-point font, double-spaced, and with one inch margins. APA style citations and references are required. NO EXCEPTIONS. It is essential that you protect the confidentiality of your client (i.e., use pseudonyms in place of actual names of persons and in place of highly sensitive information that could link individuals and agencies). DO NOT INCLUDE AN ABSTRACT. NO DIRECT QUOTES ALLOWED. PARAPHRASE ONLY. Part I: Choose a client from your current field placement OR one of the cases provided for you. If you choose one provided for you, the instructor cannot provide any other information regarding the case. Part II: Assessment (no more than 5 pages) According to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) Ms. Smith meets criteria for: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Schizotypal Personality Disorder Diabetes Mellitus 6.

Part IV: Engagement (no more than 1 page) Describe the role of the holding environment in the engagement process. First, define the holding environment and briefly discuss the clinical/developmental theories underlying this intervention. Second, discuss why the holding environment is necessary for engaging and establishing a therapeutic alliance with your client. The discussion should be specific to your client DO NOT discuss the material in a general way . This is a good place to cite literature that is not on the syllabus. Part V: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) OR CBT-Related Interventions (no more than 4 pages) Describe TWO cognitive behavioral interventions (e.g., uncovering automatic thoughts, identifying distortions, using thought stopping, or using deep breathing) that can be used to help the client achieve his/her goals.

Challenges of expansion in the market Purpose of Assignment

Challenges of expansion in the market Purpose of Assignment This week students will review and revise their Week 3 Research Analysis for Business Signature Assignment based on economic analysis and the feedback provided by their facilitator. Students will also expand their Week 3 analyses to evaluate the challenges of expanding their chosen company’s production to a foreign market. About Your Signature Assignment This signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments might be graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements. Assignment Steps Resources: Tutorial help on Excel and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products. Revise your Week 3 assignment (FORD), Research Analysis for Business, using the feedback provided by your facilitator. This Week 6 report should only include one conclusion, so you will need to rewrite the conclusion you included in your Week 3 assignment, Research Analysis for Business. Select a foreign market in which to expand your chosen product. If you wish, you may use one of the countries your team analyzed in their Week 5 Comparative and Absolute Advantage Assignment. Prepare a minimum1,750-word report addressing the points listed below.

Categorize the type of economy that exists in your selected country as closed, mixed, or market. What is the difference between these types of economies and how might this affect your expansion?

This assignment requires a seperate response to each peer’s

This assignment requires a seperate response to each peer’s posting,which should include two references for each peer posting. This assignment is due by Sunday 4/23/17 at 7pm eastern time zone. 1 st Peer Posting The Program Evaluation model chosen for this assignment is the responsive evaluation which is a client centered method that places the focus on the program activities instead of the program goals( Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, & Campbell, 2013).This model is often used within social agencies or advocacy groups to evaluate the actual activities and their effectiveness through working closely with the stakeholders, including staff, clients, and others who provide support for these programs. To provide the best services, it is important to identify what is working and what areas need improvement in an ongoing process in order to meet the ever changing needs. This will be an effective method to evaluate a faith based residential treatment program designed to help women in need to recover from harmful life cycle patterns. Within this program participants are presented with opportunities to learn life skills, parenting, job, and educational skills. The program has developed a goal for participants to become independent with a stable living environment where they are able to live free from abuse and substances. The purpose of this evaluation is to identify areas that are creating the desired effects of success and to identify areas which need improvement. Additionally it is important to identify areas which are not working and decisions need to be made about changing or eliminating these activities. The stakeholders, or community members who have invested in the program through time, efforts, and financially are responsible for determining what areas get funding and support References Chyung, S. Y., Wisniewski, A., Inderbitzen, B., & Campbell, D. (2013). An improvement- and accountability-oriented program evaluation: An evaluation of the Adventure Scouts Program. Performance Improvement Quarterly, 26(3), 87115. 2 nd Peer Posting Top of Form Program Evaluation Model The type of evaluation that will be used for the treatment program Childhood Anxiety Center will be a consumer oriented evaluation (Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, & Campbell, 2013). This type of evaluation will relate how the program is run and the effects of the program to the needs of the population it is serving (Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, & Campbell, 2013). It will help with improvement and accountability within the program to evaluate the changes with the children being served. Evaluand The evaluand is the Childhood Anxiety Center. The children involved in the program are those who who are between the ages of 3 and 12 who have been diagnosed with specific anxiety disorders. These include generalized, social, and separation anxiety disorders. It will also welcome children with specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The program will offer cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral play therapy, play therapy, and filial therapy. Overall Purpose and Type of Evaluation The type of evaluation that will be used is the consumer oriented a valuation. The overall purpose of the evaluation will be to determine if the program is meeting the needs of the children being served, as well as any changes that need to be made to improve services and outcomes. These evaluations would fall under Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, & Campbells (2013) worth-focused category. T this means that the quality of the program would be assessed with the consideration of the needs that are being met of those being served (Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, & Campbell, 2013). Stakeholders The upstream stakeholders in this program would be the individuals working with the clients, including therapists, volunteers, and interns. It would also include the financial donors and director/manager of the program. The downstream stakeholders are the children who are participating in the program as well as those who are indirectly affected, such as parents, teachers, childcare providers, or other individuals who have a relationship with the children.
