A Short Note On The Russian 's Theory

Since our personalities aren’t influenced by one factor The MMPI with some revisions influenced the development of tests and measurements by providing the ability to conduct objective testing across 10 clinical scales which assess 10 major categories of abnormal human behavior, and four validity scales, which assess the person’s general test-taking attitude

Persistent concern about having additional attacksb. Worry about the implications of the attack or its consequences(e.g., losing control, having a heart attack, “going crazy”)c. A significant change in behavior related to the attacksB. The presence (or absence) of Agoraphobia.C. The Panic Attacks are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., hyperthyroidism).D. The Panic Attacks are not better accounted for by another mental disorder, such as Social Phobia (e.g., occurring on exposure to feared social situations), Specific Phobia (e.g., on exposure to a specific phobic situation), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (e.g., on exposure to dirt in someone with an obsession about contamination), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (e.g., in response to stimuli associated with a severe stressor), or Separation Anxiety Disorder (e.g., in response to being away from home or close relatives).(APA, 2000)

Stress and anxiety affect a large segment of the child and adolescent population. Numerous stressors from a wide range of domains contribute to the current levels of subclinical anxiety and diagnosed anxiety disorders. Without effective coping strategies, the cumulative effect of these stressors can lead to the clinical diagnosis of one or more anxiety disorders. Left untreated, these disorders can carry severe long-term consequences, including social, cognitive, and academic impairments. Furthermore, these deficiencies can lead to significant limitations in adulthood, such as reduced career choices, substance abuse, and an increase in the use of both mental and physical health care.

Mental illness is a popular ill among all ages of people, it can happen in kids, adult or in senior. In fact, 20% of Canadians will personally experience in their lifetime (Canada Mental Health Association, n.d.). But all among of those mental illness we’re going to talk about depression. Depression is an extremely complex disease and it can be really bad especially for people who are expected to focus during class, be confident and social outside of school, and successfully plan their futures, depression it can be devastating for these people. Even mental experts have a belief that’s teens suffering from untreated depression are up to 12 times more likely to commit suicide (Marsico, 2012, p16). The main purpose of making this report is to

Patient reports that five months ago she got angry with her children and stayed in bed for two days. She was feeling suicidal, mad at herself and mad at her children for not caring enough to come and get her. Patient stated that she was unsure how to leave the bedroom. This incident began this depression episode.

The eminent psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Hoch, in his classic treatise on differential diagnoses in the field of psychiatry made the observation that symptoms of anxiety and depression were components of every major psychiatric disorder (Hoch, 1972). People without psychiatric disorders also experience episodes of anxiety which is typically defined as a diffuse, unpleasant, and sometimes vague sense of apprehension; however, anxiety disorders, psychological disorders whose main component is anxiety and lead to significant disruptions in a person's everyday functioning, are among the most prevalent psychiatric conditions in the world (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000). Moreover, there is abundant empirical evidence that anxiety disorders when left untreated may increase the risk of cardiovascular-related disorders and other health concerns (APA, 2000). Therefore it is important to be able to distinguish the proper anxiety disorder diagnosis and initiate treatment. One of the most disabling of all the anxiety disorders is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Doctor Jon Lieberman describes his personal experience with depression and how overwhelming it can be. Not only does it affect his mood but also physiologically, his sleep patterns. Doctor Lieberman illustrates depression as “strong feelings of apathy and anxiety”.

Case Study #1 1. The diagnosis for Kristen is “Generalized Anxiety Disorder.” 2. The sources of distress are her faulty cognitions which had led to the presence of symptom including constant worrying about unrealistic fears such as job loss, providing for her children and homelessness. Being restlessness, having difficulty concentrating, insomnia due to thoughts keeping her awake occurred daily for the past eight months.

As a promising young lady, Jill is experiencing discomfort and anxiety mainly from two aspects. The first point is the panic attack coming from her studies and career choice. Jill suffered a great sense of loss as she failed in the Bar exam and cast doubt on her career pursuit, meanwhile she is anxious about the hyper-competitive environment among her law school classmates. From another perspective, Jill feels insecurity in her relationships not only with her boyfriend but also with her parents. Given her great deal of anxiety and uncertainty, it is not hard to understand her obsessive and compulsive symptoms as extremely finicky with food and sometimes bulimic.

The success, or lack thereof, achieved by Russia 's military during the 18th and 19th centuries has often been linked to the integration of Western, or European, strategies. Peter the Great, one of Russia 's most revered military leaders, based much of his ideology concerning war around the things he learned while visiting other European nations. Russia 's need to go abroad to find military strategies is often misrepresented as ignorance. However, ignorance did not propel the Russians to mimic western ideas. The borrowing of ideas was an attempt to recreate the effective strategy that propelled Russia to military greatness under Peter the Great.

Learning, according to De Houwer, Barnes-Holmes, & Moors (2013), “has been defined functionally as changes in behavior that result from experience or mechanistically as changes in the organism that result from experience”. Throughout the years, a number of psychologists have come up with different theories to try and explain how young children develop and learn. Lev Vygotsky, a Russian theorist and psychologist that was born in 1896, constructed his own child development and learning theory that has strongly influenced the world of education (Nordlof, 2014; Dahms, Geonnotti, Passalacqua, Schilk, Wetzel, & Zulkoqsky, n.d.). His theory is created from concepts of both behaviorist and constructivist. Vygotsky’s theory suggests that learning and development occurs through social function as well as intentional teaching (DeVries, 2000; Nordlof, 2014; Slavin, 2015).

To begin with, the findings constitute insightful and valuable information about the clinical features associated with panic disorder in agoraphobia cases. Such information can add value to efforts of establishing the generalized clinical features and demographic characteristics underlying other phobias addressed in abnormal psychology, which include social phobias and specific phobias such as aerophobia and acrophobia. Secondly, these outcomes can be used to generalize the role of gender differences and lifestyles in the paradigms implemented in assessing panic attack experiences as well as the symptoms of panic disorder in different groups of panic disorder patients experiencing diverse types of phobia and not only agoraphobia. The results of the study can also be generalized in the abnormal psychology field in the sense that they can serve as an essential guide for therapists in determining the most appropriate early interventions they should adopt for patients experiencing their first panic attack in different environments and under the influence of different

Mr. Hunt Fellow is a 54-year-old married male who completed a measure of emotional functioning (MMPI-2). The client worked diligently, completing all administered questions (Cannot Say=0). He was mildly truthful in his response pattern (L=T70). Mr. Fellow endorsed severe experiences of stress and limited coping (F=T95). In addition, he seemed prone to low self-regard (K=T33). In general, the client provided a mostly credible assessment of himself (F-K=11). It is noteworthy client may be prone to overreport problems and a score over ten should be discussed with the client. Although, Mr. Fellow’s mildly truthful response pattern would render this report invalid, I will still interpret the clinical status.

Depression is the most common of all psychological disorders, affecting 100 million people worldwide. The depression ranges from mild feelings of uneasiness, sadness, and apathy to intense suicidal despair. (Kasschau) If left untreated, it could lead the

Russia, known by most as the Russian Federation, is a federal state in Eurasia.
