Illness To Internalizing Behaviors: An Externship Reflection

The successful completion of the doctoral program requires one to make significant sacrifices and accommodations. Majority of the doctoral students are usually motivated and eager to complete their program as soon as possible. However, many students often enroll for doctoral programs without a complete understanding of the heavy demands of such a program. The doctoral program is unique and bears little resemblance to many previous degree courses and so without the necessary accommodations one can find completing it an uphill task. Each student brings to the program his/her own set of academic strengths and weaknesses (Wisdom, & Leavitt, 2015). The attitude and abilities of each and every doctoral student is unique and so is their management of the program. Therefore, the most important ingredient to doctoral success is the capability to leverage such inherent strengths and find effective ways

They helped me to strengthen my findings. Although some of the sources seemed to be unreliable, I was able to back them up with other sources that stated the same facts. My research question - which was “what drills are the most suitable to engage school-aged children while teaching them the basic skills in a single lacrosse clinic?” - had a very narrow field.

To illustrate, Kaplan University suggests to have at least a bachelor's in psychology in order to become an addictions counselor. Hence, without knowing anything about psychology, I might not be able to help patients or I might become a dud counselor. For all these reasons, I will need to pursue a higher education in math, alcohol and drug abuse, and psychology in order to become successful in the field of being an addictions

The significance of relationships, networking and family support are integral component in doctoral learner’s lives. There is evidence to support that the diverse interweaving of learner connections, is critical. Social connections are an important aspect of how doctoral students progress from dependent to independent researcher (Baker and Pifer, 2011). The beginning of learning in doctoral education involves acclimation to the social culture of the institution, interaction with faculty advisors, mentors, peers, and family support, require a village network to aid learners in establishing a solid foundation to convert from dependent to independent scholar (Baker and Pifer, 2011; Weidman and Stein, 2003). In addition, the dissertation process,

Education starting in junior high school is a great idea since students are not too young to understand mental health. By learning about the symptoms, they can help themselves and their peers to get the proper treatment/therapy. Psychology should become a liberal arts requirement because it is essential to understand how people think. The knowledge from the class would be transferable in life, regardless of the field the students plan on pursuing.

For this course, I would bring in my own knowledge, experiences, and leadership. I have experienced many obstacles in my life that could be categorized as psychological and I would love to help use those in my learning career. While I am not as knowledgeable as a Psychology 2, I am able to grasp concepts and think of them in different ways. I am not afraid to raise my hand and ask questions or help another student with something they are struggling in.

UMUC offers numerous courses in Psychology so as to provide students with the knowledge that they will need in order to be successful in their future careers. The curriculum offered ensures that students acquire a knowledge base of theory, research, and practice in psychological sciences. Although some of the courses offered are required in order to obtain an undergraduate degree in Psychology, many are available to choose from that meet the interests and needs of each student as well.

The psychology courses that I have taken are:

The knowledge I have gained will help me in the future by allowing me to be a better actress, CEO, and mother. The most important topics I will need are Lifespan Development and Psychological Disorders. These subjects can be unknowingly important when crossing paths with other people.

When I started this class this pass September I had a little knowledge of psychology. In my junior year of high school I took Psychology as an elective class. I really enjoy it alot, it amaze me how much there was to know about our brains. This September I came with the feeling that this psychology class was going to be way different from my psychology class from high school. And that my knowledge from my class before wasn’t going to be useful at all. But I was wrong, this class has actually been better than my other class. Because it has help dust off some of the concepted that I had learn before. But it has also made gain more knowledge about psychology that I didn’t knew before. For example the next concepts are the ones that had impacted me the most: critical thinking and the eight essential, implicit learning, short term and long term memories. I chose these concept because they have not only taught me more about psychology, but they have made a big impact on me.

The United States has their own view on mental illness when compared to other developed countries. The developed countries that were analyzed with the United States were England and France.

Mental health and well-being begins with an individual’s attributes and behaviors, environmental factors, and socioeconomic circumstances. However, due to differences in extrinsic and intrinsic factors, treating such focal parts of one’s life comes with its strengths and weaknesses. For example, if an elderly person has a positive outlook on life and locates the good in every situation, their provision with a mental health illness may decrease overtime. However, if the elderly person has a negative attitude and does not consider his or her treatment to be helping, it may prolong the results of his or her treatment plan. If an elderly person is contempt with their social status and their role they play in the community, then this individual
