This video recording assignment was extremely interesting. I was nervous as could be. Looking back at the video recording, I can hear myself stuttering and over-thinking what to say. I also repeated myself more than I would have liked to, but I believe that came from nervousness and jitters I was feeling. Once I began the interview, I started to become calm because I was listening to the Amanda’s statements and reflecting or summarizing back to her what I heard she said. I was also nervous about how I would sound and look on the video recording. It is important to sound as if I emphasized with Amanda. I wondered if restating what the client just said would come off condescending or disrespectful. It is so important to me to never come off as if I am in a place of authority because I feel like this type of ambiance would have resulted in Amanda building a wall with me that I would not be able …show more content…
For example, I found it difficult not using the word why to ask a question. I know that asking a why question will get you a yes or no answer which will in the end cause Amanda to become resistant, but it was still difficult. I believe I did a great job at affirming although I could have used more because Amanda is broken in this video dialogue and every time I turned a positive into a negative, gave her a compliment, or encouraged her she lit up. I am honestly confused on reflections because there are so many different types of reflections and I found it difficult to know when to use which reflection. I also felt that I reflected way too much. In my opinion, my video recording sounds like a broken record. I wonder if clients will get frustrated with their therapist continuously repeating what their saying like I felt that I was doing. I believe that summarizing was easy. I did a good job at this because every time I felt that we touched base on a lot of things I would summarize everything that has been talked
After checking some of the websites about psychobabble and its meaning, I have learned that there is a lot of words used today by ordinary people, and Psychologist. Some Psychologist or Doctors will diagnose children with ADHD, but they have not tested these children properly to prove their diagnosis. Sometimes these children may be just bored or they need something to do that stimulates their interest in the subject that they are studying or they just have built-up energy and they may need more exercise in their daily routine, than other children.
1. Psychology has contributed to the advancement of social issues in many ways. Psychologists challenged societies way of thinking on many social issues, one being segregation in schools. Psychology was used to show the affects of segregation and that psychologically homosexuals were no different than heterosexuals. Psychology has helped drop stereotypes and stigmas and helped create the way of thinking that most of society now has.
From my earlier process recording, I was able to see how my technique change over time when engaging clients. From my earlier process recording with Donavon, I notice I was doing all the work during our sessions. I was asking questions that I needed answers to and not allowing Donavon feels like he was controlling our session. Although I was able to engage with him I realize I struggled with asking him certain questions. I also realized that I was focused on his family and his living situation and not what he wanted

Video assignment two was still awkward to do because we always second guess if we are doing what a true therapist would, however, it felt so much easier and comfortable because we understood how to handle a lot more (especially with all the information about motivational interviewing we learned). Jessica and I both noticed that we were able to frame set much more easily- in the first assignment we spent hours figuring out a template of what we would say and actually brainstormed a frame setting script we memorized. In general, the first assignment was so overthought until we realized that you don’t have to present it in such robotic, rigid ways and translated this to video assignment two. I greatly enjoyed using motivational interviewing techniques and as I “counseled” Jessica I found myself really understanding that it is a pretty effective technique.

A hypothesis is an explanation that can be tested based on observation. A statistical hypothesis is testable explanation based on observation and different variables. A null hypothesis explains what the results of the experiment will be if the original hypothesis is wrong. An alternate hypothesis is the opposite result if there is or isn’t a null hypothesis. Semmelweis hypothesized that bacteria/virus filled extremities resulted in higher death rates.
There are many clinical findings the R.S is likely to be faced with as a result of his COPD. Due to the inflammation and swelling of the bronchial mucosa as a result of the COPD the R.S. will have an irreversible productive cough. His cough will be accompanied by dyspnea, wheezing, and large amounts of mucus collecting in the bronchioles. This is caused because the lining in the bronchioles are constantly irritated and become inflamed. Mucus forms in the airways which make it harder to breath. The R.S. will wheeze when breathing. The R.S. is likely to have chills, muscle aches, and fatigue associated with the pneumonia. These are just the outward signs and symptoms.
2) Isolation/causation. Isolation is if only thing changing is that which is being manipulated whether up or down, then the change in effect is caused by the change in IV (the thing manipulated). It is harder to get isolation from psychology, than that from physical experiments. In experiments, even in a double blind study, the IV and subjects are changing. This can prove to make things even more difficult when the DV is based on the subject, the change on the DV may be due to difference in samples and not on changes due to the IV. Where a confounding variable is the environment or situation, the difference in subjects such as age or gender is a subject variable. This is important to note the differences as subject difference Subject variables
1) I want to take AP Psychology because the subject is very intriguing. For the past few summers, my parents force to learn something over the vacation of my own choosing, every Summer I would learn something psychology related and I would genuinely enjoy learning about the topic. I started off with the gripping Stanford prison experiment. Even though I was at a young age, learning this would peak my interest, next summer I would learn about B.F. skinner and his rats, then to pavlov and his dogs, and then lastly during the 8th grade summer about to become a Freshman, I learned about “Baby Albert” positive reinforcement, and negative punishment, how the “flight or flight” reaction occurred and if a paper bag really helps. I was upset that I
I went to college to get my communications degree. My whole life, I always desired to observe how people communicate with each other. When I was ten, I would go to many public places just to observe people to understand how people communicate with each other. I always studied the way people interact with another person. Some people interact with people in ways that they know of. The way people interact with another person is influenced by other people and their families. When we interact with our clients, we need to foster change in our clients. Therapists need to apply techniques in ways that it would help our client, not what we know of, personally. Keep in mind that people affect people, it would be important to communicate and interact with people in ways that it would be good for our clients. As we see clients, I know that our ways of interaction will change, and we can teach our clients what we learned in both personal and professional
This data is reliable as there were multiple trials that were conducted during the span of one class period with no interruptions. The data was also collected in the same way each time and with the controlled variables of strength of gravity and mass of the weight on the string kept to a constant as they were unchanged during the experiment. However, the poor and difficult to use apparatus and the errors in the data show that this experiment is unreliable and cause the controlled variable of the degree of the swing difficult to keep consistent.
Reading about Cognitive Therapy has been a part of the theoretical learning we have been given since the start of my Psychology studies in university. Whereas this video was the first real visualization of how a therapist handles the theoretical part they have learn in real life. Interaction between both the client and the therapist is what stood out for me while watching the video. The video was a recording of an advanced cognitive session not one of the primary couple of meetings between both client and therapist as they relationship on video looked close and with a sense of trust to the level that the client accepted being filmed while telling her story, in my opinion, this needs a high sense of trustworthiness between them. The client is suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder, her father has been criticizing and chastising her throughout her life and no one was there to stop him, not even her mother. She was left helpless and resenting her father as his comments and behavior of criticism left her
The video was informational which made it interesting to focus on. One of my favorite theories was Reality Therapy because it focuses on the current events and the issues that are starting to develop. With this theory many seek therapy, which encourages problem solving, and it is based on the idea that people experience stress when their needs have not been met. Reality Therapy is a process and it is used on an everyday base. We all have the need to get things done and seek help right away. For example, if someone were complaining about their relationship, then ask questions to get specific information about their problem. Help lead them towards a solution and away from the actual problem. Leading them away from the problem allows them to leave
I spent a great deal of time listening to her, which was good. However, when it came time to respond, I kept asking closed-ended questions. I fumbled for my words in the silence. I was in my own head too much, which was a mistake. The session ended on a light note, however. I highlighted Aubrey’s strengths, saying she was strong to make it through all the stuff she went through with her MDD and GAD. What I wanted to do was to sympathize with her because I also have GAD; however, it wouldn’t be beneficial to Aubrey to know that I also have GAD. I started to learn to think about what the client wanted to get out of the session.
