Throughout the song “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts, the writer expresses his hope for the future by using his daughter's experiences and dreams.

Jordan was administered three assessment measures to help the clinician identify the severity of his anxiety-based symptoms. The Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale main purpose is to provide an overall view of Jordan’s self-perception. This scale will assist the therapist by finding problematic areas that will be addressed in treatment. Jordan’s self-reported baseline was 39. The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) focuses on assessing the severity of anxiety symptoms. Jordan’s self- reported baseline is a 39. The CES-DC scale assess for depression and Jordan’s self-reported baseline is 17. Based off the self-reported measures Jordan does not meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis due to the time (duration)of the symptoms. Jordan has displayed the requisite symptoms for less than 6 months. He did however, meet criteria for subclinical generalized anxiety disorder. The data from the anxiety and negative affectivity questioners indicate that Jordan has moderate but not severe levels of discomfort. Additionally, Jordan’s level of self-esteem was good and his level of depression was low. Jordan’s 12-week treatment and sessions will include the following; 1-2 engagement, 3-4 psycho-education about anxiety with Jordan and his parents, 5-6 exposure element techniques, 7-8 relation techniques, 9-10 positive self-talk, and 11-12 termination.

John Gottman asserts that within minutes of observing a couple, he can with 94% accuracy, predict whether their marriage will succeed and be happy or end in divorce. He bases this prediction on their ratio of positive to negative interactions between the couple. If he is correct, then using communication tools which increase positive interactions in a marriage will increase the chances of a successful marriage. No marriage is perfect, but there seems to be identifying markers that characterize marriages which end in divorce. John Gottman calls these indicators, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” These four behaviors are criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling.

A common phrase one may hear regarding dogs is that they are “man’s best friend,” which is apparent when humans express joy in reaction to a dog’s presence. While dogs may make their owners happy, scientists have recently questioned if dogs may make their owners healthier as well by reducing stress, encouraging exercise, etc. If dogs do decrease one’s stress, then dogs could hypothetically decrease one’s chance for developing a stress induced psychological disorder. Two experiments were conducted in completely different locations and cultures to determine whether dogs do truly benefit their owner’s health.
