The debate on the importance of Liberal Arts is dear to my heart because of the impact my high school Humanities class had on me. Because of this, I had no difficulty forming an opinion in the debate and seeing the flaws in arguments against Liberal Arts. However, analyzing the flaws in an argument I agree with was harder than expected, but with the use of rhetorical analysis I was able to see the strong and weak points in the article. This allowed me to create a strong response that portrays my opinion in relation to the article’s arguments. Peer review was helpful because the process brought to light multiple grammar issues.…

There are both similarities and differences between each of these approaches. Behavioral perspective uses classical and operant conditioning to focus on how behavioral responses are learned.

The effects of various anger and aggression treatments have been published in five met-analytical reviews (Beck & Fernandez, 1998; Bowman-Edmonson & Cohen-Conger, 1996; Del Vecchio & O’Leary, 2004; DiGuiseppe & Tafrate, 2003; Tafrate, 1995) suggesting some positive effects of treatment on various aspects of anger. The first meta-analytic review was conducted by Tafrate, (1995) reporting relaxation-based treatment as the most effective, however, when considering the research findings, the limited methodology to the study need to be taken into account. To review the efficacy for individuals with anger problems, the second meta-analytic review was conducted by Bowman-Edmonson and Cohen-Conger, (1996). They suggested the most effective treatments…
The epidemiology course is a tremendous part of public health and pushes students to examine how the determinants of health affect populations. In the example provided, a group paper was written by four graduate students (Yessenia Albanez, Tamara Jreseit, Autumn Jensen, and myself) and one master of health care management student (Freddy Medina). The skills mastered through writing this paper was not only learning how to select peer review articles that related to the topic of assessing the occurrence of non-medical use and abuse of prescription drugs among college students, but determining what type of study’s those articles had and their importance on this paper. In public health it is hard to minimize the amount of quality…
Healthcare professionals are faced with important decisions every day that can mean the difference between life and death. Clinicians use evidence from research, clinical expertise and patient’s preferences to make clinical decisions. Often, the available evidence is so vast that finding the appropriate course of action becomes a daunting process. Consequently, the critical appraisal of evidence has become a valuable skill to clinicians. Evidence is ranked in a hierarchy system.…
We chose to focus our study using a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as our theoretical framework. Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed in the 1960’s by Aaron Beck and combines cognitive and behavioral therapies. In CBT, an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behavior are all interrelated. CBT helps an individual build a set of skills to be aware of their thoughts and emotions. An individual will learn to how recognize a situation, thought or behavior that may be influencing their emotions as well as reduce their dysfunctional thoughts or behavior (Cully & Teten, 2008)…
First I would like to begin my Peer Review with saying that you are doing well developing your ideas and showing how much you care about the environment. I appreciate that you don’t have unrealistic goals to try and achieve. Everything you talk about is very positive and I like the fact you don’t think about doing things not just by yourself but helping include others to make the cause known and the outcome greater. The fact you talk of not only you gaining more education on this matter but teaching others is also pretty awesome. I like that you think realistically, you say: “We cannot bring back the dead and we cannot make a change in a day.”…
Premises Reality therapy is based on the premise that people conduct themselves in certain ways in order to satisfy their needs (belonging, power, freedom, and fun, and survival) (Gladding, 2016). When people encounter problems, it is because one of these needs are not being met. Reality therapy is concerned with the cognitive and behavioral aspects of people, with the idea that people choose (the cognitive aspect) certain behaviors (the behavioral aspect) and that if people can become aware of their needs and find better ways to meet those need so that they do not practice destructive behaviors. Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is similar to reality therapy in the way that it is also concerned with cognition and behaviors.…

This semester has gone by in the blink of an eye. The beginning of the school year fells like yesterday and now I am getting ready for finals. When I started the class I didn’t really know what to think. English and Writing are one of my weak points. I never really looked forward to English class and it was always one of those classes that dread going to.…
Introduction Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a cognitive method that refers to changing one’s belief system in order to “cure disorders that relate to misperceptions and faulty belief systems” (Maye, 2012). REBT accepts that humans are imperfect and seeks to teach individuals that while they may make mistakes, they are capable of learning from them. REBT believes that humans are happiest when they identify important life goals and purposes and then strive to obtain them (Ellis, 2000). REBT theory is applied to a case vignette of Ana throughout this paper.…
What I learned in this course In this course, I completed reading the text Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy written by Gerald Corey, which helped me have a better understanding of different types of theories and how they can benefit or help potential clients I may have. From all the theories studied in this course, there are some theories that I would like to apply that would be beneficial in helping me guide my clients to the right path. Person-centered therapy: In this therapy, Carl Roger recommended that the client would have the best help if the therapist motivates the client to concentrate on the problem then on the interpretation that others have on the situation.…
Behavior Therapy was develop by B.F. Skinner, he was considered to be the father of the behavioral approach of psychology, Skinner emphasizes his efforts on the effects of environment in behavior, and he believed that behaviors were a result of cause-and-effect between environmental conditions and behavior. In essence, Behavior Therapy is a method that centers primarily on learned behaviors, and on determinants of behavior, the goal of the therapist is to change that undesirable behavior. (Corey, 2013) This method can be very useful in helping clients struggling with anger because it starts by focusing on the displayed behavior of the individual. Behavior Therapy have four areas of development, classical conditioning, operant conditioning,…
