b) course and outcomes
|
So how is Schizophrenia diagnosed in other countries?

A psychologist working for the criminal justice system is asked to evaluate a young man accused of committing a felony. She is told by an attorney who has attempted to interview the man that he has difficulty attending to general directives and that his perceptions of time, place, and people appear to be confused.

Caplan (1970) distinguished between four types of mental health consultation. Which of the following is an example of the type he labeled "consultee-centered case consultation":
a) a consultant is hired by a colleague to resolve a diagnostic dilemma she is having with a client b) a consultant is hired by a school to develop a program for identifying potential "problem students" c) a consultant monitors a support group for administrators to help them develop better interpersonal skills d) a consultant helps a teacher acquire the behavior modification skills she needs to reduce disruptions in her classroom |
d) a consultant helps a teacher acquire the behavior modification skills she needs to reduce disruptions in her classroom

As its name implies, "consultee-centered case consultation" targets the consultee.

In the context of the serial position effect, the "primacy effect":
a) is due to transfer of information from short- to long-term memory b) is due to interference that prohibits transfer from short- to long-term memory c) is due to the repetition of information so that it is maintained in short-term memory d) is due to distractions that make it difficult to retrieve information from long-term memory |
a) is due to transfer of information from short- to long-term memory

During the past few sessions, a 23-year old client has become increasingly depressed and suicidal. During the current session, he tells you that he's not happy with the progress of therapy and that he's not coming back. Your best course of action would be to:
a) seek involuntary commitment of the client immediately b) encourage him to continue therapy and attempt to have him sign a "no-suicide contract" c) call his parents immediately to discuss the situation with them d) recognize that he has a right to terminate therapy if that is what he wants to do |
b) encourage him to continue therapy and attempt to have him sign a "no-suicide contract"
|
So what can you *logically* do before hospitalizing a client?

d) so that categorical variables can be included in a multiple regression equation
|
What is dummy coding, you dummy?
