In the Life Positions and attachment Styles Study explain what types of validity was used to obtain results?

Discuss and identify instances of the three levels of service and how they contribute to a “positive ripple effect of collaborative school consultation.”

Janet and Paul have been married for 17 years. They have 3 children, Susan, age 16, Jonathan, age 14, and Lillian, age 6. Janet abuses alcohol and as a result has been neglectful of the children’s care and emotional needs. Paul is in the military and spends a lot of time away and is thus unaware of Janet’s problem and how it is affecting the children. When Paul is around, he is quite strict with the children, which confuses them since Janet is so unstructured. Paul and Janet have had some conflicts as a couple throughout the years, and sought counseling some years ago, At the time, Janet was drinking but not as heavily as she is now. Janet has a history of depression and has taken antidepressant medication at times. Janet’s mother was also an alcoholic and suffered from depression. When Janet is not drinking, she appears to be overly strict, impulsive, apathetic and lacking in self-esteem.

Susan, the oldest child, is highly mature and responsible, and seems to do most of Lillian and Jonathan’s care when her mother is unavailable. Susan feels embarrassed about her mother’s alcohol problem and tries to keep this a secret. At times, she just stays late at the library to avoid having to face her mother and focuses on school as a way to distract herself from the problem. Lately her sense of responsibility has made her feel guilty about not being home to protect her siblings since her mother’s behavior has worsened.

Jonathan has been quite aggressive in school lately, too. The teacher has noticed that he fluctuates between anger and silent withdrawal. Lillian’s teacher has noticed the child’s need for attention and wonders if she is being neglected at home. Lillian is often shy, lonely and withdrawn. The teacher has invited Lillian’s parents for a conference but has not received a response. The teacher referred Lillian to the school counselor who, after noticing a couple of bruises on Lillian, was suspicious of abuse and called child protective services. Following an investigation, the family has been referred to mandatory family counseling, a parenting skills program, and alcohol treatment for Janet.

The Solist (2009) Charecter: Nathaniel Ayers

   Nathaniels Dignosis: Schizophrenia

Each character (Nathaniel Ayers) is exhibiting a specific psychological disorder.  After watching the film, write the diagnosis for the character (Schizophrenia). You will then need to list the symptoms (behaviors) that the character is showing in support of your diagnosis.  You will need to refer to the DSM to ensure you have all the symptoms needed to diagnose (schizophrenia) your character.

*For example, if you have diagnosed your character as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, you will need to list criteria as outlined by the DSM such as the obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions to support the diagnosis.  Additionally, incorporate other issues portrayed in the film that the book talked about as it is relevant.  For example, in some of the movies listed, they talk about the events which may have “caused” the disorder such as abuse and trauma, childhood experiences, etc.

Use the diagnosis of schizophrenia in order to show symptoms that would be exhibted throguh schizophrenia and apply them to Nathaniels in the movie. Refer to the DSM
