Post a brief description of the national and international challenges you selected

Discussion: National and International Challenges
Human services professionals who focus on rectifying human rights violations, social problems, mental health, or welfare needs often do so on a national and international level. In the national and international sphere, there is a great need for social change agents, leaders, and advocates on behalf of human rights, as well as for other issues.

These should be challenges you or a professional might face when attempting to address issues at the national and international levels, such as professional recognition, apathy, or cultural barriers.
Think about why addressing these challenges is important to the profession, as well as what difference its resolution or improvement might make.
With these thoughts in mind:

Select a single topic that exemplifies the application of psychological research in forensic psychology.

This week, you begin the process of learning how to conduct a literature review, starting with perhaps one of the least accurate sources, the popular news media. By the time a research study is broken down by the media and presented to the general public many of the weaknesses are often left out. You will get a better feel for this issue throughout this course, but for this week, you start with this area of information dissemination.

To prepare for this assignment:

· Review Chapter 2 in your course text, Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences. Focus on the guidelines for conducting an effective literature search.

· Think about how to search and locate research articles applicable to forensic psychology.

· Select a single topic that exemplifies the application of psychological research in forensic psychology.

· Research this topic and review three news articles you found related to the application of research in forensic psychology.

· Think about any possible flaws in the articles and why you believe they are flaws.

The assignment (2–3 pages):

· Briefly describe three news articles you selected (past or current) on a single topic in forensic psychology that you find most interesting.

· Briefly explain the search terms (keywords) you used.

· Describe any flaws you discovered in the articles.

· Then, explain your reasons for identifying the flaws you discovered.

Discussion: Clinical Supervision – Kaltura WEEK 4 (1)

Substance use disorders are complicated psychiatric and medical conditions that involve physical addiction as well as psychological or emotional dependence. Substance use disorders are some of the most difficult to treat. It takes a great deal of patience on the part of the provider and the client. It may take several attempts before a client is successfully able to “kick the habit.” Your guidance and patience can help the client to persevere through difficult times during the journey to recovery.

Clinical Supervision is an essential component of your development as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. It provides an opportunity for professional collaboration as you share experiences with and gain insights from colleagues. For this Clinical Supervision, consider a client with a substance abuse disorder whom you do not think is adequately progressing according to expected clinical outcomes.

Explain the concept of “explanatory models.”

Prompt 1: Explain the concept of “explanatory models.” Then, articulate Garro’s (1995) main argument about explanatory models for Type II Diabetes in the Ashinaabe community she studied. Based on Garro’s conclusions, how might we see the Ashinaabe as experiencing social suffering? (In order to answer this, you will want to make sure to explain what “social suffering” is.) Finally, discuss whether you think that Kleinman and Hanna’s (2008) notion of bringing “caregiving” back into biomedicine could serve as an appropriate response to Garro’s call for “health professionals to broaden the message of individual responsibility to recognize societal responsibility and to work towards solutions that incorporate such factors” (1995: 45).
