regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic (lasting greater than six months) pain condition that most often affects one limb (arm, leg, hand, or foot). CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems. CRPS is divided into two types: CRPS-I and CRPS-II. Individuals without a confirmed nerve injury are classified as having CRPS-I (previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome). CRPS-II (previously known as causalgia) is…

Introduction (Criteria 1 & 2) Bell's Palsy is a temporary drooping of the face owing to an injury to the nerves. The affected facial nerve is also referred to as the seventh cranial nerve because it is transmitted through the Fallopian canal. Although it is usually worrying, most people often recover from Bell's Palsy. Nonetheless, patients find themselves unable to control their muscles on the face. The affected side of the face starts to droop, and it can sometimes impede the production of…

Brain Plasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change its structure or functions by changing the neural connections. Real life evidences such as Paul Bach-y-Rita‟s father‟s recovery after stroke, increased gray matter volume in London taxi drivers‟ hippocampus, etc. have supported the theory of neuroplasticity. This paper also discusses the applications of brain plasticity. Some of these include restoration of vision, recovery from brain injury and working of Brain Computer Interface and…

identification of a boundary-maintaining entity or process” (p.7). A number of systems were noted and intertwined within the movie. Within each system, a different side of the individual was portrayed. Systems theory “describes human behavior in terms of complex systems. It is premised on the idea that an effective system is based on individual needs, rewards, expectations, and attributes of the people living in the system. According to this theory, families, couples, and organization members…

The difference between nature and nurture is that nature is the idea that behavior is effected by your chemical and gene make up while nurture is the idea that you are a blank slate and your behavior is distinguished by experiments. They both effect behavior is what was discovered. * Dualism is supported by cognitive psychologists such as George A. Miller and Sigmund Freud * Rene Descartes dealt with Monism vs. Dualism & Interactive Dualism * Monism is the belief that the mind…

Hydrocephalus Having a big head is usually taken in a humorous and figurative manner, but when it comes to hydrocephalus it is taken very literally and seriously. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, enlarging the head and causing brain damage (MedicineNet, 2016). Hydrocephalus can be a result of the ventricles producing too much cerebrospinal fluid. There can also be an obstruction which reduces the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, as well as…

with a holistic approach in order gain an all-inclusive perspective. Specifically, the following factors will be addressed in the assessment: biological, neurobiological, psychological, social, and the developmental aspects of Emma. Further, the systems theory and the ecological perspective will be employed as methods of explaining presenting issues of the case. Presenting Problems As noted in the case study, Emma was referred to the Family Services Agency by her pediatrician for further…

questions, and explore the complex systems. Archetypes are not used to dictate behavior but to leverage them. Learning to see structures within which we operate begins a process of freeing ourselves from previously unseen forces and ultimately mastering the ability to work with them and change them (Senge, 2006). Systems archetypes or generic structures embody the key to learning to see structures in our personal and organizational lives (Senge, 2006). The systems archetypes reveal an…

Relational Systems Relational systems are the relationships formed between workmates in an organization when they coordinate their tasks, goals, and missions. Moreover, they pertain to the human system, as they are composed of individuals moving towards or away from one other. In fact, they tend to form patterns while interacting or drifting from each other (Kahn, Barton, & Fellows, 2013). Relational systems are also a way through which objectives in an organization are accomplished. Furthermore…

Two frameworks that guide the theory, for the case are systems and medical model. In the systems framework the theory chosen to guide the intervention was the family systems theory. For the medical model the theory that best suits the clients problem is pharmapsychology. Systems framework is a series of related assumptions and postulates about all levels of systems (Turner, 1996). The framework is relevant in that it explains the clients current behavior is a result of a series of outside…
