Juan, a17-year-old Hispanic youth, was referred to the school psychologist at the end of the first school term because of apparent academic and emotional concerns. His grades were slipping, and it looked like he might not get any credits his first term. The counselor has also explained that Juan was the driver in a fatal car wreck at the end of the previous academic year, in which his bestfriend was killed. Although Juan was hospitalized, the counselo rsaid that he insisted on going to the funeral, even though he could barely move, having suffered several broken ribs. When the psychologist met with Juan, he was initially reluctant to discuss the accident but as rapport was established, he admitted to feeling helpless, feeling fatigued because of lack of sleep, and having problems concentrating on his schoolwork. He wanted to quit school, because he did not want to be in the same class with students who blamed him for his friend’s death, and furthermore he did not see why he should plan for a future. He admitted to having vivid dreams of his friend, seeing him as if he were alive. Often he would wakeup, startled.He had no recollection of how the accident happened, as he could not remember the details, even though a witness had said that another car was involved. Although he has a girlfriend, Juan rarely feels like doing anything, and in the past few month she has preferred to be alone. Although he was very close to his deceased friend’s family(theywereinseparable), he has not seen them since the funeral. In this case, Juan is faced with the aftermath of a traumatic experience in which he was seriously injured and his friend was killed. He feels helpless because of the accidental nature of the wreck. Undoubtedly, Juan has significant survivor guilt. Faced with traumatic events of this nature, individuals react with fear, horror, or helplessness. In younger children, these feelings are often expressed in disorganized anda gitated behaviors.

“Do you believe our unconscious reactions come out of a locked room that we can’t ever truly see inside? Can we ever know ourselves wholly and understand the motivations and reasons behind our every move? If an individual claims to completely know how her mind works, is she incredibly self-aware or is she delusional? And if we can’t ever get behind that door and fully know why we react the way we do, is psychiatry an overpriced and limited exercise?” (Gladwell, 2005, p. 13)

STEP 1: Your assignment is to choose one of your OWN behaviors that you would like to modify, using the conditioning principles you learned about in the text. Consider bad habits you might be interested in changing, such as biting your nails, procrastinating, not exercising, etc. You can utilize principles of classical or operant conditioning, recruit others to help you, employ successive approximations and shaping and modify schedules of reinforcement in order to improve your life.

You must spend at least 10 solid days devoted to this project in order to see solid results. Please get started right away.

STEP 2: Write a 2-3 page paper (500-800 words) about your project that explains your project, the type of conditioning you used, and the methods and procedures used to execute your project. You should explain the process of shaping the behavior and utilize any or all appropriate vocabulary. Finally, include a discussion of the results and an analysis of recommendations for improvement or future changes.
