Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 Applications In Personality Testing

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 8 and 9 in the textbook and carefully review Section 4 of Chapter 7 in the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (2006) guide, Testing and Assessment: A Guide to Good Practices for Workforce Investment Professionals (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. In addition, review all the required articles for this week, as well as the Case Description: Mr. I—Psychiatric Inpatient Interpretive Report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and the PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

For this discussion, you will take on the role of a psychologist who was recently assigned two new clients. You will examine psychological assessment information presented in two different formats: a computer generated interpretative report of personality test results for the patient Mr. I and a psychological report written by a licensed psychologist for the patient Ms. S. In your initial post, you will examine the personality assessment instruments used in each report.

Carefully review the Case Description: Mr. I—Psychiatric Inpatient Interpretive Report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.; this patient was referred to you after being admitted into a psychiatric inpatient facility. Write a one-paragraph summary of the computer generated MMPI-2-RF results for Mr. I based on the information in the interpretive report.

In your role as the psychologist who evaluated Ms. S., examine the personality and ability testing results in the PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. In your next meeting with Ms. S, you will be required to give her a copy of the psychological assessment report and discuss the results with her by explaining the psychological concepts effectively observing appropriate professional standards. In order to share this discussion with your colleagues, you will create a screencast of a three- to five-minute assessment feedback session, which must walk the client through the report and summarize the most pertinent information from the psychological assessment report in language your client can understand. You may use any screen-casting software you choose. Quick-Start Guides are available for Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for your convenience. Once you have created your screencast, include the link in your initial post.

In your initial post, provide an evaluation of the contents of both psychological evaluations in terms of ethical standards and the professionalism of the interpretation of the testing and assessment data presented. Write an analysis of the psychometric methodologies employed in the development and validation of the MMPI-2-RF personality test used with both clients. Develop a list of at least two additional tests of personality or emotional functioning to administer to the two clients that demonstrate acceptable validity. Justify your inclusion of each additional assessment measure in terms of the validity of the assessment measure and your clients’ presenting concerns, diagnosis, and prognosis.

In chapter 5, the authors talk about reliability. I’m a bit confused on whether reliability can be repeated. On page 101, the authors stated, ” when conducting research, you can measure each person only once; you cannot give the measure 50 or 100 times to discover a true score” ( cozby & Bates, 2015) . When reading this, to me it sounds like reliability can’t be repeated. Than on page 102, the authors talked about ” test-retest reliability- assessed by measuring the same individuals at two points in time” ( cozby & Bates, 2015). For my understanding, it’s now saying that reliability can be repeated and if the results are similar it is reliable. My question is can reliability repeated at anytime?

For my final research topic the best way to measure it is by interview and observation. I would ask my participants questions such as “being on a long-term antipsychotic treatment do you find your thinking process the same or is it getting slower?”. I will also question them about their memories ability, I will also examined them on how long they can focus on a task. I’m guessing this approach is called “face validity– the evidence for validity is that the measure appears on the face of it to measure what is supposed to measure” (Cozby & Bates, 2015). I will also observe their behavior while they are under treatment. This approach is called “interrater reliability- is the extend to which raters agree in their observations” ( Cozby & Bates, 2015).

I think for my final project in research I would like to be able to measure the reliability of what I am researching. After reading the text I saw more formal ways to know what reliability in research is. The two ways are that compromise each other are true score and measurement error. True score in the text means the real score of measurement and measurement error means that the score is unreliable (Cozy & Bates, 2015). I think as going into the counseling field understanding reliability as a consistent and stable measure of behavior will help better understand our clients. I feel that behavior is the biggest thing as future counselors we look at in treating clients. Whether the behavior is good or bad; how do we overall keep improving the positive behavior and help the client to change his or her own behavior those are my thoughts. What are is the class thoughts on this?

As we progress in this class i am changing what my initial research question and focusing it down to something more specific. I think that my research question now is going to focus more on how depression affect people in the workplace, this way there are not very many variables to determine and it has one main focus. So with that in mind I think that best approach would be to do interviews and surveys to see how much a person’s depressions affects their work habits. By doing interviews it would have to be done by two people so that the “Interrater reliability is the extent to which raters agree in their observations” (Cozby, 2015). That way each person will be able to read the person’s actions and truly see how much depression is affecting them in the workplace.

Assignment 2: RA 1: Fitness-For-Duty Evaluation – REVISED

/in /by

I NEED IT COMPLETED TODAY NO LATER THAN 9 PM PST…THANK YOU

 

In M2 Assignment 1, you proposed a Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation (FFDE) for a police department. In this assignment, you are to create a comprehensive, well-researched FFDE proposal based on the following scenario.

Scenario:

A midwestern state police department recently responded to a barricaded active shooter incident where the shooter had confined himself and his family to their home. The negotiator was able to persuade the shooter to release his four young children but was unable to persuade the shooter to release his wife or surrender. The scenario resulted in the suicide of the active shooter in front of his spouse, who remained unharmed.

You are the mental health consultant for the police department. You have been assigned to conduct an FFDE on the negotiator, a thirty-five-year-old white male. The negotiator is a seven-year veteran of the force who has three small children and is going through a divorce. Although the officer appears to be handling the stress well, a closer examination reveals that the negotiator shows signs of depression and anxiety, which were not present prior to the incident.

Tasks:

Using at least two scholarly resources from the professional literature, investigate methods for developing FFDEs. The literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).

Create a 6- to 8-page Microsoft Word document by addressing the following:

  • Design an appropriate fitness-for-duty assessment for the negotiator, which will be submitted to your client and the police department. The plan should, at a minimum, include the following:
    • Paperwork: You should review before you commence your evaluation. Remember that you may want to consider who is making the referral and why.
    • Psychometric instruments and a justification for using them.
    • Clinical semistructured interview questions that are sensitive to issues of culture and ethics. Consider developing rapport with the officer before you lead into the sensitive questions pertaining to the referral.
    • Effects of symptoms of depression and anxiety on an officer’s ability to perform his or her duties.
    • Any treatment, if recommended, for symptoms of depression and anxiety in a law enforcement officer.
  • Create a clinical fitness-for-duty written evaluation outline. Include aspects of cultural and ethical standards, valid and reliable instruments, and the recommendations of your evaluation, including, but not limited to, treatment recommendations and firearm retention.
  • Provide an introduction paragraph to the client and use section headers.

Apply APA standards to cite sources.

Submission Details:

  • Save your assessment report as M3_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc. By the due date assigned,post it to the Submissions Area.
  • Posted: 3 Months Ago
  • Due: 06/07/2018

Week 11 Assignment

/in /by

Please no plagiarism and make sure you are able to access all resource on your own before you bid. One of the references must come from Corey, M. S., Corey, G., & Corey, C. (2018). Please read the instructions carefully. Look at the reflection questions attachment. I need this completed by 08/10/18 at 6pm.

Assignment: Cohort Group Experience Self-Reflection

During this course, you explored personal characteristics of the effective group leader and considered the impact of culture in group work. You are encouraged to reflect on your unique characteristics as you continue on a journey of self-reflection and self-awareness in your development as a group counselor.

You have also had the opportunity to participate in a small group of your peers with the task of developing a group proposal. Reflecting on how you worked as a cohort, managed conflicts, resolved problems, and shared work responsibilities has much to do with how you experienced yourself and others in your small group. Although your group was not intended to be a counseling group, the parallel process is evident. You likely experienced the emergence of small group dynamics at each stage of the development of your proposal.

For this Assignment, you will reflect on your cohort experience to develop your skills in becoming more self-aware as a member of a collaborative group.

To prepare:

· Review your notes, review the stages of groups, the characteristics of each stage of group, and member behaviors that are common to group work.

· Review the School of Counseling’s Key Professional Dispositions, paying special attention to Professional Behaviors 3 and 12; Interpersonal Behaviors 4, 7, 13, 15, and 16; and Intrapersonal Behaviors 1, 7, 13, 20, and 22.

· Using your knowledge of group process and dynamics, consider your weekly self-reflection notes to assess your role as a group member, paying special attention to how this may inform you as a future group leader.

· Review and use the Cohort Group Experience Self-Reflection Rubric to guide your reflection.

The Assignment:

In no more than 2–3 pages (not including your cover page), respond to the following prompts/guidelines in a well-organized narrative style and format. Use specific examples to support your points.

Reflecting on your small cohort group process during the development of your Group Proposal, respond to the following:

· How would you describe your role in the group? For example, did you assume the leadership role? Did you sit back and wait to see who spoke up? Did you find yourself irritated with the members or the progress of the group? Did you feel more or less adequate as a group member?

· How did you end up in the role you assumed? Is this a familiar role for you? Does this resemble a role you played in your family?

· How would you describe the group member dynamics? Did some members do more of the work? Less of the work? How did you respond to those members?

· Identify a time when the group faced a conflict or problem. What was your part in exacerbating or resolving the concern? Did you become the problem-solver? The silent member? The peacekeeper? Given this experience, how might you handle conflict in the future?

· Review the School of Counseling’s Key Professional Dispositions and consider how your experience in your cohort group may have been guided by the dispositions. Which ones were most meaningful to your professional development?

· What did you learn about yourself as a group member?

· Consider what you have learned about the counselor as a group leader. Identify areas where you found strengths as well as areas for growth.

· How might this information and enhanced self-awareness inform you as a group leader? How might you use this experience to have a deepened self-compassion as well as compassion for members of a group?
