Dr. Holleran may write:
Jamie suffers feels anxious when she is in certain situations. She feels likes she can't breath and her heart races very fast. In fact, she feels like she may faint when she is in this situation. She flew on an airplane one time across the country and experienced a great deal of turbulence during her flight. She now refuses to see her grandmother who lives in Hawaii.
A student may write:
I think Jamie has a phobia of flying. How might a psychologist treat this? Maybe they would use a type of exposure therapy?
Dr. Holleran would reply:
You are correct! A psychologist could gradually expose Jamie to flying on an airplane to help cure her of the phobia. Maybe they could start by driving to the airport. Then they would eventually go into the airport and make it to the gate. Then, they could step into the airplane. Eventually she might be able to ride in an airplane. Can anyone else think of another way to treat her disorder?

PART I - In the chapter on sexual behavior, we learned that different cultures and countries view sexual orientation in various ways. For example, in some places, sexual orientation is viewed as a learned behavior that people have a choice over, and individuals are ostracized if their orientation or behavior is not the same as the majority’s behavior. In other areas, sexual orientation is considered a biological matter, implying that choice is not part of it. In other locations, sexual orientation is considered a mixture of biology and environment, where both influences are present.
Please remember your readings on genetics and epigenetics, or any related studies or concepts as you answer the following.
Do you believe that it is ethical for agencies, institutions, or organizations to try to change people’s sexual orientation through means of punishment or suppression? Why? In what ways have institutions and organizations done this? Give examples.
Do you believe sexual orientation is an issue that we, as a society, should be involved in? Assuming that there is no abuse (e.g., child abuse, animal abuse, rape and violence, etc.) present in your bedroom, would you want society to tell you the gender of the person that you are allowed to have sex with? Why or why not?
