The interview took place on June 27 at the Education Department (Curriculum and Instruction). I began it by thanking Professor Grant Miller for the precious time he had to receive me and I also explained the purposes of the meeting. In fact, gathering some information about the area of specialization I intend to purse was the aim of the interview. I learned that students are expected to develop a variety of writings which include reading and critique, research, analysis of curriculum, reflection about experiences and corroboration or comparisons. Thus, the writing style follows American Psychiatry Association manual as a highly recommended. However, when it comes to the top journals in the field, some of them are Educational Research, Theory

    In reading Richard Hugo’s “The Triggering Town” it was as if I was literally sitting in a room with him discussing the different aspects of writing poetry, over a glass of wine. Hugo uses a conversational style of writing to inform his reader of the “triggering” concept. His informal method of voicing his concerns is presented in a candid and frank manner, often sprinkled with profanity for emphasis. He explores the formal aspects of writing in an informal manner to entice the young poets of today.…

    Trans-Diagnostic Model

    • 494 Words
    • 2 Pages

    My theoretical approach to psychotherapy stems from an integrative and multimodal framework anchored in biopsychosocial case conceptualization and trans-diagnostic model of psychopathology. I consider biopsychosocial formulation as a valuable start point since this model invites the appreciation of the reciprocity among biological dispositions, and interpersonal, social, and cultural factors. The biopsychosocial model also allows to me work in a bottom-up manner without imposing a particular weight on different types of information at the initial phase of the treatment. I find trans-diagnostic model useful since it enables me to adopt a dimensional model of psychopathology in tandem with the categorical framework of the DSM-5. Further, the trans-diagnostic approach provides me with a theory-driven framework to utilize evidence-based techniques from cognitive, behavioral, motivational, interpersonal, and mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies in concert.…

    Over 15 years ago, Robert Nash (2011) developed a new academic writing style called Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN). For the first time in academics the unacceptable use of the ‘subjective I [me]’was acceptable in scholarly writing. Before SPN only the ‘objective they [we]’ was appropriate for research because scholars believed that only experts could support an agreeable or disagreeable topic. Nash (2011) wanted SPN to become, “a respectable research genre in higher education, particularly in the professional schools” (p. 4), so he wrote his first book, Liberating Scholarly Writing: The Power of Personal Narrative (2004).…

    I would like to extend my sincerest thanks for taking your time to consider my candidacy for the Educational Psychology/School Psychology program at the University of Wisconsin. I have always been drawn to behavioral psychology, the phenomenon of learning, and educational processes. After discovering that I had a special talent for working with children and at-risk youth, I eagerly began my academic pursuit in elementary education. With ever-increasing learning demands, and limited time and resources, I quickly learned that inevitably some children fail to perform adequately among their peers. This reality came quite clear to me through my experience working and substitute teaching in a public elementary school.…

    Many people believe that mentally ill is something you became rather than something you are from the beginning; the idea that children may suffer from a mental illness must mean that something terrible has happened to speed a younger person toward this because it could not have been there all along. But if we recognize that mental illness is something that can affect a person at any age, even without any distinguishable trauma or environmental trigger, might we be able steer a child toward health just as piano lessons can steer a child toward skill? In exploring this idea and some of the challenges facing child mental health, I spoke with Carnation Elementary School counselor, Leanna Koenigs I asked Ms. Koenigs what her expectations were going into mental health.…

    I first became interested in counseling when I was helping a friend with serious drug related problems and family problems seek help and counsel from advisors. Being just sixteen, I didn’t know how to help him efficiently and felt both powerless and helpless at trying to find adequate resources and services to help him deal with his problems. While I did eventually find counseling services and potential help for him, the effects of his psychological problems were so brutal that he committed suicide. This profound experience of losing a close friend to suicide forced me to develop a strong interest into understanding the role, guidance and motivations that leads people to such extremes. At this point, I had already cultivated the desire to…
