Psychology is much more than that and applies to everyone’s life in some form.

The researchers’ findings certainly appear to be accurate, but the reliability of certain cases studied is questionable. For example, ten of two hundred fifty-eight respondents reported that their phantom was perceived as being in a fixed position, and while some ideas as to why this may occur were postulated, a more specific study of this case would be helpful in their confirmation (Giummarra et al., 2010). Additionally, the researchers’ first-time finding that “approximately 4% of amputees experienced the proximal portion of the phantom only” will need to be repeated in order to be validated, and, especially, any suggestion as to why this may have occurred will require further investigation (Giummarra et al., 2010). The breadth and depth

The assignment prompt gives the impression that the student has a considerable amount of freedom in choosing the subject of their paper and also how to organize as long as they satisfy the requirements laid out in the prompt. The requirement of a 10-15 page paper implies that good writing in the psychology field (or the other social sciences) cannot just be simple statements but rather more in depth and nuanced analysis. The prompt also asks for hypotheses to be laid out in the paper, which function as the thesis. It also calls for datasets to be used, which means that a good psychology writing will have quantitative data that will be analyzed throughout the paper. The prompt also specifically notes that the APA style of citation should be used, and good writing in any social science subject should follow the commonly used method of referencing in that field or what the class or professor require.

The client-centered model is all about the clients themselves and the cognitive behavioral therapy relies on direct counseling tools to control and guide the client.

The aim of this case study is to investigate the participants relationships with other family members. Why does she argue so much with her mother? The problem that the client is faced with is in the relationship that she has with her mother. Although the love between them is clearly evident, there is a lot of friction between them and there are frequent arguments fought out. Symptoms from the client include violent swearing, shouting, sarcastic remarks, verbal attacks and sometimes physical violence. I have found that her argumentative behaviour seems to be mostly caused by adolescent puberty, with biological hormone changes being ever present. Small stimuli and annoyances will trigger this

It can be presumed, due to their middle class status, that Regina’s mother was receiving proper pre natal care and had access to the proper nutrition for healthy development of the child. Regina was receiving proper nutrition as long as her mother was eating well although, if she was not eating well before her pregnancy that would lead to her having to change her eating habits to accommodate the baby. If Regina’s mother did not change the way she was eating for her baby to receive the proper nutrients, then this could have caused Regina’s “physical, socioemotional, and intellectual development to be compromised” (Broderick & Blewitt, p55). There is a possibility that Regina’s mother was drinking during her pregnancy as a way to cope with her husband’s emotional and/or physical abuse. Two effects alcohol has on the fetus are metacognitive and language deficits which could explain Regina’s lisp and lack of understanding in regard to her moral actions (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Thus, it is more likely that Regina would have developed properly with access to prenatal care and proper nutrition.
