A terrible feature about remembering is the inability to forget. For many in the military and armed forces, this inability to forget traps them with a particular feeling associated with a particular moment. As the rules of war are uncompromising, the traumatic scars, both physical and emotional, hold power in the lives of those who have faced war. Over the years, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnoses have expanded to include victims of rape, environmental disasters, or any other event producing insurmountable and atypical levels of stress for an individual. When exceptionally stressful and atypical events occur in life, it is natural to feel discomfort or even trauma in response to the situation. Does everyone who experiences trauma become diagnosed with PTSD?
For this Discussion, consider whether the diagnosis of trauma always leads to the development of PTSD. If not diagnosed with PTSD, think about what alternative diagnoses might be possible for a client. With these thoughts in mind: Post a brief explanation of whether experiences of trauma always lead to the development of PTSD and explain why or why not. Then explain possible alternative client diagnoses.

You live in the home built by your father. The home has been in the family for more than 50 years. Recently an unscrupulous banker used a technicality in property tax law to take the home from you.

Imagine you are the counselor for the family in the case described in the Sudden Underachievement see below.
1)Identify the biopsychosocial dimensions of identity for each family member that you would consider in applying multicultural counseling and advocacy strategies.
2} What systemic factors are salient to the client/family resilience and ability to engage in self-advocacy?
Sudden Underachievement :
When a gifted 12-year-old underachieves academically for several weeks, his parents feel panic and seek family counseling. In the first session, the counselor quickly directs attention away from the "problem child" by exploring each family member's perspectives on general family functioning. Informal assessment reveals that the normally high-functioning four-member family has recently faced several challenges: the mother's significant health concerns and difficulty reentering her career; a grandparent's need for elder care; the formerly high-salaried father's unexpected unemployment; and high mortgage payments on their new home. The 9-year-old sibling shows symptoms of trichotillomania--that is, pulling out his own hair, with noticeable hair loss (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). The mother admits to doing some of her underachieving son's homework in order to protect his future. During the next four sessions, the counselor identifies family strengths and explores, among many, the hypothesis that the mother's actions are about control at a time when many aspects of life seem out of control. The family faithfully completes weekly assignments, which are largely geared to helping the family members engage with each other, express and validate feelings, and establish appropriate boundaries (e.g., regarding the son's schoolwork). As boundaries improve and family tension decreases, so does the hair loss and underachievement.

Did I answer these correctly? Too many true answers based on my research. Uncertain about 1, 2 and 2
1) __T__ An association not explained by bias, chance, confounding means an association is causal.
2) __T__ The connection among intention, decision, behavior, and outcome is not always clear.
3) __T__ Positive predictive value is more influenced by the sensitivity than the specificity of the screening test.
4) __T__ Specificity answers the question: “Of all individuals that were free of disease A, what proportion tested negative?”
5) __T__ Successful treatment programs that shorten the duration of a disease primarily affect the prevalence of the disease rather than the incidence rate.
6) __T_ The preclinical phase of disease lasts from the biological onset to the development of symptoms.
7) __T__ Incidence rate is a true rate because the denominator is defined in terms of person-time whereas cumulative incidence is a proportion.
8) __T__ A clinical trial entails comparing a group of patients treated with a test treatment to a comparable group of patients receiving a control treatment.
9) __F__ Experimental study designs have lower validity than cohort studies.
10) _T__ A “gold standard” is used to determine whether a screening test is effective.

Your readings discuss heuristics and cognitive biases which affect our thinking, reasoning, and decision-making processes.
Develop one or two paragraphs that presents a one-sided, simplified argument about some psychological issue. Examples might be a) low self esteem causes bullying, b) parenting/nurture is more important than nature, c) repressed memory/ memory recall claims, d) low self esteem is the cause of low academic success, etc.
How did you use language, wording, and terminology to frame your one-sided argument?
What biases or mental short cuts were used in your explanations?
If you were presented with this argument, how could you refute the biases and suggest a more balanced explanation?
